EDIT: Stories about sexism & racism, minor or major, in the tech-scene almost always disappear off HN's front page in like 2 minutes. That's another symptom of a problem as far as I'm concerned. That is for anything 'controversial' There was a post the other day that found it was any story that has more comments than likes, and atleast 40 comments will be penalized. So, if you want stories like this to last on the front page longer do not comment on them as much.
