In all the very good discussion here, and not one mention of the menu at the top of the HN page. The first text link in the menu bar is... "new" There's an entire section devoted to new, or future Page 1 articles. The inclusion of the link must mean that there was either a demand for it or a belief that readers would want to know about the articles with future potential to make the first page. Anecdotal at best, but it seems to support the idea that there is some innate bias toward the next new thing.
