#3 14 points/26m Google and ProPublica team up to build a national hate crime database
#6 105 points/1h YouTube admits 'wrong call' over deletion of Syrian war crime videos
Yeah, perfectly explainable. Like every other time.
- Jaruzel 9y agoIf you are talking about post position on the Front Page, then it's stated somewhere (the FAQ?) that HN mods and admins can 'insert' a story anywhere on the front page if they feel it needs more attention than it's getting. Personally, I'm not a fan of that (feels a bit /. under DICE for my liking) - but I'm just a freeloader here, like the rest of us.
- alecco 9y agoIn the Google Memo debacle they kept saying they did not intervene in favor of Google. That it was just the flagging of users what drove the stories out of the home page. A story with 1600 points could only be reached via Algolia or comments section.

- sctb 9y agoI'm not sure I understand. You can't compare points/time between stories for many reasons—some of them relevant to the story (like flags, penalties) and some of them not (not all votes are counted).
