2017 it seems, submission at the time: "macOS High Sierra: Anyone can login as “root” with empty password" - 3001 points | 1073 comments - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15800676 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15800676
- hunter2_ 2y agoAside: >1000 comments in 2017 is significant. Is there a straightforward way to list such highly-engaged HN submissions? Ideally sorted by prominence within a short (1yr is fine) time window, but a simpler sort (no regard for prominence, just absolute engagement, which would strongly tilt the results toward the present, due to platform growth) would also be ok.
