What's up with these baby studies popping up on HN this week?
- sudhirj 9y agoDid you just have a child? Might the [forget what it's called] effect. I'm a new dad, noticing the fact that HN is full of baby stuff.
- pmalynin 9y agoI’m not a new father, and I’d agree with the premise — there has been an influx of baby articles. Could be poissonal, but likely someone was researching the topic since yesterday and posted something new. This tends to happen on HM
- Amorymeltzer 9y agoSame, and agree. The effect is Baader-Meinhof: https://science.howstuffworks.com/life/inside-the-mind/human-brain/baader-meinhof-phenomenon.htm https://science.howstuffworks.com/life/inside-the-mind/human...
- ssttoo 9y agoHaha, you’re on to something. I’m an old dad :) And I don’t see any baby stories. But I’m into music/audio lately. And there’s so much cool music-related stuff popping up on HN lately...
- Amorymeltzer 9y agoSeptember is generally peak newborn month in the US, so maybe by late November/early December new parents are beginning to rejoin society and share their newfound interests? Or, more likely, it's just random.
- durandal1 9y agoMaybe the HN crowd is growing up - babies and age discrimination has been on the agenda lately.
