[Disclaimer: A write-up of mine is one of the current front page items thanks to second chance, as well.] It's a great feature, because, as long as you want just to share and do not care too much about your karma (you'll lose half of it), you don't have to manage submission dates, like figuring out, if the right audiences will be present right at that moment to pick it from the stream of new posts.
Shout-out to dang & Scott, who are doing fantastic work!
- gumby 6y agoI don’t think HN karma means anything but what causes you to lose half of it? I haven’t noticed it happening to me.
- thetrustworthy 5y agoI think what they mean is that if your post gets to the front-page via the second-chance pool and then gets 100 upvotes, your karma increases only by 50.
