This is my favorite thing on HN. I have a tab open with it that I “Snooze until next month” (in Firefox) and read whenever it pops up :)
What extension do you use to snooze tabs in Firefox?

I use this one by Mozilla themselves, but there might be better ones out there: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/snoozetabs/

#16I recall there used to be a way of getting a snapshot of the way the front-page looked, say, 2 hours ago. Can't find it now. Anyone knows?
Edit: Found it at /front but looks like it's a snapshot on a per-day resolution, not hourly or arbitrary For example:

#18I hesitate to admit this, since I have a 14 year old account- but this is the first I have ever heard of /lists. I can get to it by appending "/lists" to the url, but I can't see a "lists" link anywhere on the site- is it some kind of hidden page? If so- are there more?

"past" in the top-of-page header, which has a granularity of 1 day.
I've been looking at an archive of past front pages dating to 2007 to see trends, patterns, and statistics concerning front-page stories, since late May of this year. It's interesting, and resolves some common disputes and/or claims.
