And I've identified that it's the 1,000,000 most recent comments/posts which are accessible: I just checked against oldest accessible article (at this writing), and subtracted that from the newest comment (from the "comments" titlebar link): 43938990 - 42938990 = 1000000 Others can confirm this by going to the newest comment, and subtracting 1000001 from the contentID to find the first inaccessible comment. <https://news.ycombinator.com/newcomments https://news.ycombinator.com/newcomments>
