That depends. If HN is supposed to be an example of a high-quality product on the Internet... then this is definitely a topic worthy of discussion on HN. I'm not submitting a feature request. I'm trying to start a discussion about user experience. But if HN is strictly a quick and dirty tool, then you are right. It is not worthy to make it a topic for discission.

It doesn't matter what you're trying to do. What you're doing is against the rules. These types of posts don't belong on the front page, and this specific topic has come up in the past and has been answered. This is an unpopular opinion, but this needs to be said: to keep the quality of Hacker News relatively high, please follow the very few HN guidelines.

    No, but you did set the ball rolling, even if gravity took over. There is still time for you to delete this thread.

It's the demo/test app for Arc. Arc is intended for quick and dirty prototyping of webapps. It is PG's position that a continuation-passing style is the easiest way to do that. The fact that links to continuations must expire is a byproduct of the fact that computers have limited memory.
