There was a submission of this two months ago as well that only got two upvotes... Do you think the community changed that much in two months? Maybe HN should take articles that get more than one up vote but die down to resurface in new several times to see if it slipped though the cracks or if it really has no value to the community.

There's probably pretty big effects from time of day and other things on whether or not things get upvotes. That's not a "hive mind", that's just the fact that upvotes come from people coming here as they feel like doing so, not from a bunch of 24/7 staff that are paid to apply objective, consistent criteria (which would be a kind of hive mind.)
