It's awesome pg responds so quickly... I'm wondering if he gets alerted (probably) or if he's on here a lot (probably). Maybe we could DDOS his alert system with threads about pg rated movies... And an aside- does pg have the most karma of any HN user?

pg has 147,000+ karma https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=pg https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=pg and the top of the leaderboard is tptacek with 159,000+ https://news.ycombinator.com/leaders https://news.ycombinator.com/leaders

  https://news.ycombinator.com/leaders https://news.ycombinator.com/leaders ... Yet another HN URL that's mostly undisclosed. Sometimes I wonder how many there are.

      It's incomplete though - https://news.ycombinator.com/classic https://news.ycombinator.com/classic is not listed, for example.

      Is there a reason for keeping these hidden? I've also wondered about downvoting... I never see a button for that, but it seems like some people are still able to. Is it just the 'flag'?

        No, you need a minimum amount of karma for the downvote button to appear. I think its at ~500 now.

    It used to be in the main header but was removed so as to stop encouraging people attempting to get a higher 'score'. (A group I was in. Getting into the top 100 was my goal one year, and I pulled it off by contributing lots.)

    How much time do you spend on HN?
    - tptacek 13y ago
      A casual analysis would be that I treat HN the way most of my coworkers treat IRC, which I try to avoid.

      Let's say you were a founder at a company that is "always hiring" the kind of person you might find on HN? How much would be enough?

        If we could stop hiring amazing people off HN, I could probably break the habit, but right now it's pretty hopeless for me.
