It pains me greatly to not be sarcastic about this but I cannot help but think this article would not be making it to the front page of HN a day after the Democrats clinched the Senate majority, had the midterm elections favored the Republican party as everyone expected.
- lapcat 4y agoThe article was published 6 days ago, before the election. You're reading way too much into the timing.
- zzzeek 4y agoit arrived on hacker news front page today, is what I am referring towards. Here's an idea, let's try first having PG give YCombinator funding to startups based on a random lottery, rather than actually picking them. When that's successful, then we can talk.
- lapcat 4y ago> it arrived on hacker news front page today, is what I am referring towards. It arrived on the front page today because it was submitted today, and because it's an interesting and relevant article, regardless of the election result. You'll have to ask the submitter haakonhr about the timing, but 6 days is a reasonable amount of time to discover, read, and submit an article from the Boston Review.
