this site is run and shadow manipulated by mods to bestow karma/credit points to a chosen few posters. you're not in the club.
My posts are never "shadow deleted" they in fact sometimes get a boost from the mods when they though it just missed the mark timing-wise (i.e. interesting post, but some breaking news thing happened, and I didn't get the love).
The moderators only car about keeping the discord civil (as civil as possible), and the posts relevant/interesting for their niche.
There probably is a "club" - but not being in it doesn't get your content shadow deleted. It just wasn't interesting enough at the time to get votes.

I'm a nobody in every sense of the word.

I am not the original poster, so what's your explanation for why his two attempts were both deleted?
I mean, this post isn't really big news, it feels like it's just barely scraping by the notability/interest level required to make it on HN. Mostly, I just think the presence of some kind of cabal or conspiracy is a lot less likely than "mods are human and thus subjective and inconsistent".

Re: Lions OS: secure – fast – adaptable
#38Seems to be this: https://www.lionsos.org/ https://github.com/au-ts/lionsos > LionsOS is aimed at embedded, IoT and cyberphysical systems and is designed to be formally verifiable, adaptable to a wide class of use cases in the target domain, while at the same time setting the benchmark for performance of microkernel-based operating systems. We aim to achieve all three goals by a highly modular yet ruthlessly performa…
What, pray tell, are “cyberphysical” systems?
The term is favored by DARPA over any of its alternatives; seL4 received DARPA funding, and was adopted by DARPA projects, so it's not surprising that they'd use the associated term. It's no worse than other terms in the embedded systems world, and communicates the intended use cases to the most likely users.
Basically, if TrendMicro builds you a bunch of infrastructure to optimize the power grid, it will be described as consisting of Intelligent Electronic Devices. If Collins Aerospace builds the exact same infrastructure, it will be described as consisting of Cyber Physical Systems.

In practice, Linux is everywhere now, often in places where it should not be. Linux is truck/SUV of computer world if I can extend your analogy. It doesn't belong to center of big city, but it is here.
My conversations with people who have implemented Linux where it shouldn’t have been have essentially boiled down to it being easier to hire Linux developers than embedded systems developers
Every other OS has to play catch-up. They either need a killer app or lots of funding, or else they'll be stuck in a specific niche.

They weren't deleted, the account was brand new when they were posted so they were probably killed by the spam detector. Questions about stuff like that should just be sent to hn@ycombinator.com, that's in all the site docs.
