I think that sites like Hacker News, Reddit and Facebook are much better for promoting discussion of articles. A problem with comments on blogs is that it's difficult to generate a community. If you look on any large site that has comments (like The Verge, or YouTube) the comments always descend into jokes and memes. By posting this article on Hacker News, a discussion has formed and it follows the rules laid out by the Hacker News community, there wont be much name calling or inane jokes.
