It might be that things never change and all attempts to bring back the good ol' culture are just reactionary, but that doesn't mean people shouldn't speak up when they feel disgusted by what's going on around them. Fear(s) motivate(s) peop

Even if Google could determine which businesses, products, and services were 'best', it wouldn't matter to spammers. Presumably most of the participants in Blackhat SEO don't offer the 'best'. The driving motive is that they want their stuf

It's not specific to Python, it seems to happen in every topic. On a related note, it would be nice to finally see that new posts of the same link would be tied to the other instances (or rejected).

I'm not sure why, but I've noticed that sometimes the points field is null, even though it shouldn't be. See for example the second result here: http://api.thriftdb.com/api.hnsearch.com/items/_search?q=sky...
