I was thinking about the same thing last night. I assume most of the reader of HN are from US and even among them most are from West Coast. Score of your article is inversely proportional to the time difference of current time and time you posted. See this http://amix.dk/blog/post/19574 http://amix.dk/blog/post/19574 So even if your post is interesting it wont make it to the front page if you post it at night (US Timings). Also just posting any silly articles is a bad idea. Your article will be flagged for sure.
