I've added [ and ] to the filter list, though I'll have to remove some stuff from the db to get rid of the past results.
When I was developing it I saw Google trending all the time. I think Google just comes up in conversation on HN very frequently.
I suppose I could remove Google it if it doesn't have meaning. But maybe it does. This is interesting: if Google stops trending, perhaps that's a canary signal that it's not relevant anymore.
- alanctgardner2 13y agoI think what the parent means is that the derivative of the appearances is a lot more interesting than the number of appearances (and possibly as a percentage of the total number of appearances). Google moving from 100 to 105 isn't very interesting, but a new language going from 0 to 10 mentions might be very significant. (edit: and Google owning x% and staying there isn't very interesting either) In other words, frequency of occurrence is interesting, but statistically unlikely occurrences (more or less frequent than expected) is even more interesting.
