I think limiting the number of upvotes and downvotes a user has per day, with maybe a sliding scale for karma, would vastly improve HN. It would slow down the voting circles considerably and make fake accounts much less valuable to marketing types and political action groups. Making the order of posts probabilistic instead of strictly ordering by upvotes would also improve the site, making the first post less significant and avoiding some of the rich-get-richer effect noted in the article.
