Frontpage six days ago with different title https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14364573 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14364573
- nkurz 9y agoIt's been briefly on the front page a couple more times as well (click "past" on the top of the page), but each time quickly flagged off by users. Likely this was because many of the early comments were concentrating on the flaws in article rather than the intriguing underlying concept. Let's see if we can keep this one alive by staying focused on the interesting parts.
- dang 9y agoYes, we invited this repost in the hope that a different title would make for a less lame discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14372695 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14372695.
- hueving 9y agoHow do you invite someone to repost something?
- Tomte 9y agoThey get an email with a special link. If you resubmit using that link the submission gets insta-promoted to the lower end of the front page.
- dang 9y agoRight, which usually guarantees a few minutes of frontpage time and community interest (or disinterest) takes it from there. This is described at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11662380 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11662380 and links back from there.
- misnome 9y agoResampling the comments until you get the results you want is ironic, considering the problems this causes in some (related to the article) scientific fields.
- dang 9y agoWe're not running a study to see what comments arise under random conditions. We already know that! In fact it's what we're trying to avoid.
- Bartweiss 9y agoThanks - this incarnation of the thread has actually been really good, and I'm glad it came back through.
