I'm curious how the algorithm works, as it doesn't seem to work as I'd expected. My first thought was to go back and look at the day I launched my startup with at Show HN [1], which got over 700 points and was at #1 from roughly noon to 2 AM the next day (PT). Sure enough, this post shows up in the #2 slot on the day I posted it (Sept 5, 2013) [2], but it doesn't show up at all on the following day [3]. This is stran…

We only started logging the front page on 2014-11-11. For days before that, what you're seeing is the stories which were submitted on that day, ordered by vote score. (Not necessarily publicly visible points, though, because some votes get dropped for various reasons.) Since your story was submitted on Sept 5, 2013, that's the day it shows up. If you look at https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2014-11-11 vs. https…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yeaaaaah but it was on topic, in a chain of threads making fun how unsubstantive people’s skepticism was back in 2010 Your team tells me that upvotes/downvotes are noisy, but once you have downvotes it is unsubstantive and the account is rate limited Pick Your team also never explains how you mods interpret a guideline or substantiation, just unilaterally say it violates and pray for classical conditioning as if you…

I'm happy to explain how we interpret specific cases, but not as part of a litigious process in which explanation only leads to more objections. If you want a serious answer, you'll need to do more to establish good faith.

I'm actually really interested in this addition. I'm just going back to 'big' days, such as financial crash. When I started HS when I finished HS, when I started College. A few articles are interesting, it's definitely better than bumbling around Algolia. Edit: One great link is this one > Google Making Extraordinary Counteroffers To Stop Flow Of Employees To Facebook [1] [1]( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=165…

Not new; just the link at the top is new. The hard part was what to call it. Since the point is to give people more to read, 'more' seemed right. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12073675 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18512028 Edit: Oh, also: "more" fits with the "More" links you see at the bottom of the front page and other places, clicking which takes you back to previous posts. Edit 2: Ok, you guys have…
