How is this continuing to rise on HN while the site is down the whole time? Just the title?

Yeah. It may not be about "Go" people thinking.

I think it says a lot about current voting on here...

A lot of things make onto the front page these days thanks to rings of vote stuffers.

  Downvote if you like, but it's true, although perhaps not for this particular article.

    I don't know if Go or Toggl fans rallied and upvoted this article, but I don't have anything with that. That being said, I'd like to see if HN could provide some kind of fraud protection for upvotes/downvotes. I know that, for example, ad providers have some kind of algorithm detecting if the click is valid. Does anyone know of something like that in use in some of the community recommendation sites like HN? As it is now, it would be fairly easy to game HN for karma or marketing reasons. All it takes for an article to take off is less than 10 votes at the right moment.

      HN has a ring detection algorithm.

        Have more info to share? I wasn't able to find anything related to it on HN.

        Most spam protection technologies are not discussed publicly as that would defeat the purpose

Because we're clever enough to view the cached version: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:3vDKN5Ah7o8J:blog.toggl.com/&hl=en&client=firefox-a&gl=uk&prmd=imvns&strip=1 http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:3vDKN5A...

The page works now. Seems like they switched to another (static?) version of the page. It looks quite different than it looked when I posted it. Seems like their switch to Go didn't go so well if HN entry with 7 upvotes can break it ;)

  The page is still not live.

    You should maybe try to empty your cache as I can visit the page.
