Why is the post by easy dead? It looks fine to me....

Good question. Is a relatively young (45 days) account with low karma (17) enough to auto-kill posts? None of easy's submissions or comments seem out of line to me. I'm quoting the post here because Rachel Sussman's TED talk on species longevity is spectacular.

If you found this interesting you might also enjoy a TED talk by Rachel Sussman entitled "The world's oldest living things":

Maybe it's "too much too soon" from a new account? I think all the submissions I made so far came from technology review articles I've been reading so perhaps PGs code thinks I'm an account created to spam for a particular domain.

Probably a few people being overeager with the flag link.

That's my best guess. Worst part is, easy probably didn't even know it was dead
