Just a heads up, when the moderator 'dang' sees this he's going to put it into his highlights collection that tracks people who share identifying stories about themselves. I hope that's OK with you. https://news.ycombinator.com/highlights https://news.ycombinator.com/highlights
- erikerikson 4y agoDo you have a corroborating source for rule?
- generalizations 4y agoWhat kind of axe are you grinding? That's totally not what the highlights are about, and it's obvious from reading through them.
- turtleyacht 4y agoI think /highlights just shows the top upvoted, parent-level comment per thread. Do you observe that too? It may be coincidence that PII just happens to be in there. Folks love a good yarn, and establishing context helps.
- ftxbro 4y ago> I think /highlights just shows the top upvoted, parent-level comment per thread. Do you observe that too? No I don't observe that; it's manually compiled by the moderator whose username is dang. He figures it'll be useful for something someday. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34668249 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34668249 It sounds like https://news.ycombinator.com/bestcomments https://news.ycombinator.com/bestcomments is more like what you had in mind. That one is listed on the list of lists which for some reason doesn't include the highlights list. https://news.ycombinator.com/lists https://news.ycombinator.com/lists > It may be coincidence that PII just happens to be in there. Folks love a good yarn, and establishing context helps. Sure, I think this was definitely true at least before 2018 when they stopped publishing it as periodical digests. After that, not so much.
- turtleyacht 4y agoOhh. /bestcomments must be what I'm thinking of. Thank-you for those other links too.
