It would have been fine if you ran the experiment, WITHOUT polluting the comments with useless dupe links. You could then write up a blog post or something showing what you had found.
- tvon 16y agoThe dupe links seemed useful to me. If something has already been discussed at length, I'd like to know about it.
- oomkiller 16y agoThat's a fair point, but still, the posts were made by a bot, who can't decide if there is useful discussion on another page or not.
- sp332 16y agoDupDetector can tell if there's a discussion by the number of comments, and it uses points to determine the "usefulness" of the discussion. You can find examples here: http://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=DupDetector http://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=DupDetector
