  I came here to throw some love at searchYC and heard this bad news. Very bad news.

    Yes, I saw that the first time around thanks. It describes an action, but explains nothing. Just off the top of my head here are some unanswered questions: Why did Comcast shut them down? why did comcast have the authority to shut them down? Why didn't the searchyc admins take their site somewhere else? Why have they said nothing here on hn? Why were they shutdown mere days before pg announces an official search (hopefully just a coincidence). What happened to their data (it's especially valuable now that we can no longer see comment scores). Etc.

      Jiminy. Can we skip the outrage! this time? You obviously haven't even looked at HNSearch if your big concern is comment scores. Sheesh!

        I don't see any outrage there...
      • Sukotto 15y ago
        No outrage intended sorry if it came across that way. I was commenting on the abrupt departure of searchyc not on the new search. Haven't seen the new search yet since it's not working on my blackberry for some reason. And I don't have my laptop with me.

          Not everything that isn't explained in crystalline detail is a conspiracy or even evidence of significant drama.
          • Sukotto 15y ago
            You seem to be reading an undertone into my comment that simply wasn't there.
            • tptacek 15y ago
              "Hopefully it's just a coincidence" that SearchYC lost its Comcast connectivity right before Paul Graham announced HNSearch. No. I don't think I misread the undertone. Regardless, we don't need to beat this to death. Have a good weekend.

        You're coming across as more than a little paranoid.
        • tptacek 15y ago
          I can see that. You know, if I squint. :)
