I can't remember if there's a specific term for it, but I believe HN has some way of giving a story a "second chance", which must have been used here and seems to involve resetting the timestamps. I don't know if th

This was a good article from a while back that shows how every dollar spent on online advertising seems to only result in about 3 cents worth of actual ad views: https://adcontrarian.blogspot.com/2017/01/display-ad

And on the opposite side, my wife once had a job interview where they asked her to reverse a string. She wrote some code on the board to do it, and the interviewer just dismissed it with something along the lines of "No, that's no

Even then, that would require those people to still have access to the same email address they used to sign up over 11 years ago. Even Gmail probably wasn't in very wide use yet at that point, it was invite-only until February 2007.
