What does the "&birth=pg" at the end of the URL stand for? I know pg is Paul Graham, but removing the "&birth=" parameter doesn't change the page

- TechBro8615 6y agoMaybe a way to avoid the duplicate filter, as I'm sure this URL has been submitted before.
- grinich 6y agoI actually found the link by going to pg's profile and clicking the created date. You can try it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=pg https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=pg Curiously the "birth" param doesn't seem to work by itself. Maybe a HN bug? e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/front?birth=pg https://news.ycombinator.com/front?birth=pg is the same as https://news.ycombinator.com/front https://news.ycombinator.com/front
