Earlier quoted context omitted.

The Algolia API cutoff for comment scores is October 2014. (which I know because it was cut off after I made a blog post on the subject: http://minimaxir.com/2014/10/hn-comments-about-comments/ ) There have been quite a few good comments since then. It is worse to make an incredibly biased list than no list at all.

It is just a learning project. Feel free to not access it and downvote my comment advertising it if you think it is dangerous.

My comment was not a criticism, but a warning. It is very important to note where the data is coming from and any associated caveats which may influence the results.

Best HN comeback: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35079

Not only that. But that same thread goes into his idea being the same as Dropbox, both being startup ideas at the time. Seems the latter won that comeback though.

This is actually a feature of HN (but a well-hidden one). My favorite comments here: https://news.ycombinator.com/favorites?id=tptacek&comments=t

I don't think really meant to be hidden. You can go to anyone's profile, click on favorites->comments

Wow, your list of favorite comments is every bit as wonderful as your list of comments. No wonder yours was the first name here on HN I learned to look for to learn from (with dang's being the second)
