- KineticLensman 8y agoAs I write this there are seven topics that have five or fewer comments. If I have plenty of time I might read articles like these. But if I'm pressed for time I'll pick stories whose subject is interesting and that have a lot of comments, using # comments as a quick proxy for whether the HN community has been engaged with the subject and might have generated some useful discussion.
