It seems my post has been severely penalized by HN. Went from #2 to #30 all at once, then dropped from the front page. Anyone know what I did wrong?

- jmillikin 13y agoYou submitted a post about programming to PoliticsNews. Please try again when you have an outrageous story about government abuse.
- kentonv 13y agoI think I figured it out. Someone with moderator rights must have read the summary, not read the documentation in detail, and decided that I had only implemented regular old promises/futures and was calling this "time travel". They probably missed the point of promise pipelining -- which is something that no mainstream RPC system implements to my knowledge, only research systems like CapTP. So they demoted it for making what they assumed to be a ridiculous claim about a mundane piece of software. Sigh.
