This is a problem with the nature of sites such as HN, or forums. They live in the present, and there is no mechanism to build up a body of knowledge, every reader has to re-process the whole log himself.
- dylan604 2y ago> every reader has to re-process the whole log himself. You say this like the current readers of HN have been here since the beginning and no new readers have come along since then. New readers come along at some rate I have no idea about, but I'm assuming it to be >0% per day/month/year. These new readers will find something existing readers have already seen and post it because it is interesting to them. This is no different than seeing the same "experiments" every year in 5th grade science fairs.
