Worth noting people have died looking for it, which makes me believe the claim is likely real, especially given Fenn has charted private helicopters to help search for those lost and known to be searching for the treasure: https:/&#x2

From the point a spammer is identify until their interaction with the system becomes a burden to deal with, it's better to not let them know it's known they a spammer. Craigslist does this by "ghosting" postings that&#x2

Realize they are used as downvotes which is why using them as part of the ranking system makes no sense. Adding a downvote button also makes no sense. If you see something you do not want to see, but others do want to see it, click "hi

Be afraid all you want, doesn't matter to me. Thiel knew he'd be attacked, took a risk, and there's zero reason to believe he's not happy with the results; if you think Thiel cares what the "Bay Area" thinks, I

You mean like Elon, Thiel, etc.? If so seems to me as if they're all doing just fine. [1] Beyond that, point of engaging Trump would be on a topic I would assume everyone agrees is important - and if you think hidding and hoping things

Given Elon & Thiel are both in contact with Trump, if you haven't already done so, it would be worth mentioning it directly to both that this is important to you. For that matter, maybe this is a chance to you yourself reach out to

Flags are for content that's spam, off-topic, inappropriate. While you might claim that the content is dated, it would likely be better to post a comment providing a more recent source for the topic, not upvote the submission, and allo

To be fair, "the feed" (assume you mean the new feed) is populated by the hive, it's just not sorted by votes or any other filter; of course unless the mods remove/hide a submission for some reason.

Understand though I could easily see spammers using the data and getting 500 really should not take more than a month if you post a handful of comments a day; for example: 25 days, 5 comments a day, average of 4 upvotes per comment. Worth n

It would be nice if there was non-filtered view of HN available for users with a rep above 500, much like the "show dead" option for user comments that have been hidden. Basically allowing the submissions to be placed in the submi
