Thank you for disclosing your Google affiliation. Occasionally on HN, there are comments on Google-related topics that I suspect come from Google employees/affiliates, or waves of votes that may be coming from those with a financial attachment to Google. But often on social news/discussion sites, you don't know how closely the comments/votes are entangled with the issues being discussed.
