How come this was on the top of HN 5 minutes ago and now it’s not even in the first page?
- dang 4y agoWe downweighted it because it's one of those perennial repetitive stories that doesn't contain significant new information [1] and therefore can't support a substantively different discussion [2]. Threads that can be predicted from previous sequences are basically off topic here. This is not to say that the topic is unimportant - of course it's important. But HN's criterion for being on topic is not importance, but interestingness. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html [1] https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=%22significant%20new%20information%22%20by%3Adang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...
