I've read the bits about implementation based on continuations in various other comments. Given that: - the ranking of HN stories likely is in constant flux ... - and that some users might want a consistent view of stories across multiple pages ... - and that having .../page1-, .../page2-, .../page3-style URLs might result in some user seeing the same story presented twice in their browsing, once on page1 and then again on page2 as its rank changes ... or worse, missing a story that got promoted to page1 from page2 during a session ... do the continuations as implemented on HN present a static view of the ranked stories with a non-changing ordering (as long as links don't expire)? To do this with straight URL's one would need to present different URL links at different times to different users to get different page-2 contents reflecting what was on page2 at the time they started their HN visit. If so, that would be a feature.
