16 points, no comments and this is up near the top? what is wrong?
- edw519 19y agoI thought this was interesting from several angles, but don't really have anything to add. Apparently, I'm not the only one. What's your complaint, that people don't comment enough or that this got voted up too much? You never say, so how can we answer "what is wrong"? Not every thread has to be about starting a software business. Also, weekends tend to be kind of slow, so they're a good chance to look at other interesting stuff.
- BrandonM 19y agoI would add that if a submission has a high score but very few comments, that is a decent indicator of a good story. As PG said, much discussion begins with disagreement, so if a story is liked but not discussed much, it has probably covered its bases rather well.
- michaelneale 19y agoI thought you were leaving ?? ;) HN isn't that bad yet !
- michaelneale 19y agoI just haven't noticed it before, I thought maybe HN was trying some other algorithms and something odd was going on (I didn't think it was interesting or relevant to HN - a small step away from digg like "top 10 things you can do with ..."). But thanks for the down votes, will make the digg and reddit refugees feel more at home.
