- djbusby 3y agoWow, this is an awesome list. Some of the links point to some indepth articles.
- dang 3y agoLists generally don't make great submissions to HN, because there isn't enough specific information for discussion. Comments tend to be about the lowest common denominator of the items on the list, and this is usually pretty generic. It would be better to pick one of the most interesting items on the list and submit that instead. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=denominator%20lists%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...
- gjvc 3y agopeople seem to find it of value
- pvg 3y agoThere's lots of value in things that don't work well on HN.
- gjvc 3y agoI'm going by the upvote counts, not opinion. Also, you should give examples.
- pvg 3y agoWell, lists are one example. As to upvote counts, there's a whole literature on that https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=by%3Adang%20by%20upvotes%20alone&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... upvotes are not a measure of value but they are a pretty good proxy for opinion.
- gjvc 3y agoyou've made my case. thank you.
- pvg 3y agoIf your case was 'lists don't work well on HN' and you intended to make it by posting a list on HN then I suppose yes.

- pvg 3y agoYes, that's a highly upvoted, highly generic thread most of which consists of either other lists or things to add to the list. That's exactly why these tend to get moderated off the FP - listmaking, while a noble pursuit, is not much of a conversation.
- gjvc 3y agoOf the same site. Perhaps you couldn't be bothered to check. Once again, thank you for proving me correct.
