Did any stories about the end of the 700mhz spectrum auction make it up? It's not a good sign that something that big gets missed over by the community.

I think that if you come to depend on hacker news for your news, then you only visit the front page, and stop visiting the new pages. And given that you can upvote on the front page, people just do it there, rather than peruse through the new articles and upvoting them. So what you end up with is that an article just needs 2 or 3 votes to make it on the front page, and then there's a positive feedback effect. This makes it more of a hit or miss sort of thing for articles. I think if you can only vote when you're on the new scenes page, it might help.
