  Any chance of publishing several front page algorithms and letting users set a preference for one? Or even better somehow letting people suggest/test custom ones?

    I agree. This may be a sign that either a restricted scope of HN needs to be enforced, or an algorithm needs to be written to correlate the interests of users. Neither is pretty, but the alternative is a saturated Hacker News.

  Just before this latest change, I had been noticing stories staying on the front page for a LONG time, and this recent change restores what to me seems like the normal behavior of a few months ago. For information, my browsing behavior on HN is to land on the front page (now several times a day), look down about one screenful on my computer, and then follow the link to the new page. I try to upvote stories on the new page soon after submission if they look like they have strong hacker interest or strong delight the mind qualities.
