There is a tried and true method of getting to the front-page of HN, which is to take whatever implementation choice you've made today and make broad, completely unsupported claims that it is universally applicable as a law of the universe. This applies to a shockingly high number of non-news submissions, regardless of a lack of rigor to the claims.
