Can someone tell me how something with just 3 points appears on the front page? I feel there must be some way to game the HN sysem but I don't know what it is.

- mewwts 9y agoPerhaps something like dp/dt? #points/(time of last point - time of first point)
- steeleduncan 9y agoI'm not sure how it works these days, but I imagine it still has some relation to the arc sources https://github.com/wting/hackernews/blob/master/news.arc#L264 https://github.com/wting/hackernews/blob/master/news.arc#L26... It is essentially what you suggested, but raising the bottom line to a power.
