"Sandboxx" is the name of the website, not the name of the aircraft.

I'm kinda curious how this ends up in the submission title, if I was submitting I'd be copy-pasting from the article which doesn't have it. Maybe the submitter uses a bookmarklet or extension? edit: god I hope they do, ~200 submissions in the last 30 days :-O

  He is the top fifth on Hackernews/leaders. 200 Submissions may be his target submission.

    My only guideline so far has been "can this trigger a conversation I'd like to read?". If I answer "yes", I post it. HN is an incredibly diverse and smart audience. It's always a pleasure to engage in discussions here.

  Holy. ~2800 submissions in the last year (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastYear&page=0&prefix=false&query=by%3Arbanffy&sort=byDate&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastYear&page=0&prefix=fal...) and ~25,000 since 2008 (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=by%3Arbanffy&sort=byDate&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...). ~7 submissions per day for the last year, seems incredibly high. I'm lucky if I manage to find something interesting enough to be submitted in a week (I'm averaging 0.3 submissions/day for the last year). I'm hoping for a step further, that it's just connected to some RSS feed and automatically submitted. But that seems bad on a different level.

    There's a lot of worthwhile stuff there, so I'm not complaining! I always feel a bit guilty submitting things because I see a lot of "Why is this on HN!?" comments and that puts me off. But maybe I should worry less about those.

      Thank you. I read a lot of stuff - kind of knowing random stuff is part of my job as it allows me to use better analogies to explain things to my stakeholders - and I love to share with this community - the discussions that get sparked are extremely worthwhile. And yes, I use the bookmarklet.

        Keep on the good work, looking through your history I find tons of submissions I remember dearly! :)

        Hey I feel a bit bad about calling out your submission history like that - it was legitimately just because I wanted to look into the bookmarklet thing (which it turned out I was right about!). As I said, the submissions are up my street, so I hope you didn't take it the wrong way :)

People complaining about "why on HN" are just grouches that need to get out of their comfort zone more often. If other people on HN do not find it interesting, it will not get many up votes. Don't let them put baby in the corner.
