"""Actually, search is always subjective. If another site which delivers news for hackers - even if they don't call it "hacker news" - rises in quality, popularity, or X other factors, it may be that users want that site over HN when they do that search."""
What I'm seeing in the results page are not those kinds of rags to riches stories. Mostly irrelevant obscure junk.
- adgar 15y agoSigh... so you just couldn't bear to read the second half of what I wrote? It wasn't a long post. It really wasn't. > I agree that in this case hacker news should be higher and that this is a bug. But just because hacker news is called that doesn't mean that query might feasibly be better served by another site. To assert otherwise is pretty surprising.
- dextorious 15y agoI read it. I just wanted to get the actual point across. The actual point being not the hypothetical, but this particular case. Also, doesn't your "second half" misses a "not"? Like: """But just because hacker news is called that doesn't mean that query might NOT feasibly be better served by another site. To assert otherwise is pretty surprising"".
