it is a bit troubling to me how this and stories covering the same group of people are so often quickly flagged.
i saw this story on other sites and immediately thought: hacker news will be the best place to follow along with this only to see it flagged dead. it does seem like this seems to be happening quite a lot when a certain group of people and their competence levels are being covered.
thanks for not burying this particular instance.
- croemer 1y agoLuckily, flagged doesn't mean deleted or locked so we can still read and comment
- nozzlegear 1y agoIt does mean buried and hidden though, unless you specifically turn off the default behavior for flagged stories and comments.
- dang 1y ago> i saw this story on other sites and immediately thought: hacker news will be the best place to follow along with this By the time the story hit other sites, HN had already been discussing it for quite a while (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43875476 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43875476), and that thread had gone through the usual life cycle and was falling off the frontpage. We've re-upped it now, because lots of people are having the experience you described: seeing the story on other sites and wondering why it isn't on HN.
