Dupe of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36940323 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36940323, I have dropped a message to dang to update the link on the other thread.
- polytely 3y agoi think this is because the author of the other site never intended it to be widely visited: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36941818 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36941818

- username332211 3y agoCan we leave the current thread be? The other one has this really big reddit-level discussion where people think it's very important to remind everyone that there's a difference between buying a pork bellies in the Chicago Mercantile and slaughtering pigs. And it's a chore to keep skipping it to look for news or insightful comments about the supposed superconductor. Which is what the thread was supposed to be about.
- supriyo-biswas 3y agoUse the [+]/[-] links to skip over the unproductive discussions. I intend to open up a discussion sometime about the declining quality of discussions on HN and make some proposals, when my schedule allows for, hopefully soon.
- dang 3y agoI've done the usual moderation things in that thread to try to dampen the offtopicness. That's a separate issue from merging dupes. Though I completely agree with you otherwise. If there are subthreads there that ought to be ranked lower than they are, let me know here and I'll take a sterner look!
- dang 3y agoComments moved thither. Thanks!
