- Brajeshwar 3y agoThis is anecdotal and my personal observation. Otherwise, everything else is pretty unpredictable for me to care enough. :-) - Stories are calmer and stay longer in European day-time. - Things almost never happens during Asian day-time. - It is fast, quick, short, and also quick to die during Western day-time (Americas).
- Krasnol 3y agoI would love to see Android vs. IPhone stats.
- consumer451 3y agoI kinda give up on submitting. TBF, I only likely see the power of moderation when it applies to me, but it's getting weird at this point. The bonking of some posts (-200 ranking all of a sudden) is getting odd. Most recent example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39653805 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39653805
- nkurz 3y agoNot clear what happened there. Either it was flagged by a couple users (fat fingers on mobile is a problem) or it was the "flamewar detector" gone awry. This "feature" demotes stories when the number of comments exceeds the number of upvotes. Your recourse in this situation is to write dan (hn@ycombinator.com) and ask what happened. Usually if it's an obvious false positive he'll restore it quickly. I wouldn't give up just because of this one. Edit: HNRankings can sometimes give insight: https://hnrankings.info/39653805/ https://hnrankings.info/39653805/

- pvg 3y agoIt's a generic Apple documentation page about a story that's had a tremendous amount of HN coverage. As you can see the thread is basically the same as the other threads. Those get moderated as dupes (follow-up dupes, 'quasi dupes' etc). You can search dang's moderation comments about these, it's fairly fundamental to how HN works otherwise specific topics would dominate the front page endlessly and the site would not be interesting. Just in the last couple of weeks: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39618673 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39618673 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39528134 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39528134 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39388218 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39388218 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39563618 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39563618 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39589483 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39589483 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39643981 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39643981 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39418412 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39418412 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39418386 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39418386 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39408196 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39408196 These are just some of the biggest threads and they have, collectively, several thousand (edit: I added them up - 4831 comments) between them.
- consumer451 3y agoThanks for the reply. I posted the generic page as it was the authoritative source, and had not appeared to be submitted yet. My original idea was to post the first approved EU Apple approved marketplace, but that looked like a press release and seemed not very HN worthy.
- pvg 3y agoThanks for the reply. I'm just some random messageboard schmoe, if you want something official from HN you should email hn@ycombinator.com. But again, check out the moderation comments. Dupes on HN are sort of 'by value' rather than by reference, yet-another-Apple-and-DMA thread is still yet-another-Apple-and-DMA thread, independent of the precise URL it hangs off.

- xnx 3y agoGoogle probably stopped updating BigQuery when they started hosting live Hacker News data in Firebase: https://github.com/HackerNews/API https://github.com/HackerNews/API The live nature of the Firebase data is awesome, but the lack of ability to query is a loss.
