A couple of subreddits somehow relevant for machine learning and operations research [with a rough estimate of the number of subscribers]:

I made a multi-reddit out of most of these and some more mentioned in this thread in case anyone wants one. http://www.reddit.com/user/Widdershiny/m/hackernews

I've always wondered, do subreddits with fewer posts get boosted on the front page and in multi-reddits, or are they simply drowned out by the bigger subreddits?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

sites which appear to be using the actual HN code: ( http://coinspotting.com/ ) [Coinspotting | Hacker News for cryptocurrencies] ( http://www.datatau.com/ ) [DataTau | Hacker News for data scientists] ( http://firespotting.com/newest ) [Firespotting |Hacker news for ideas] ( http://www.medtechnologynews.com/ ) [Med Technology News | Hacker News for medical technology] other layouts: ( http://inbound.org/ ) [Inbound…

Oh, thanks. When I posted it all it got auto-killed.

Yeah, I had to try a few times and I still don't know why it finally worked. I even tried to find out which site got it killed but I have no idea.

Ugh, /g/ is pleb-filled unfortunately. The majority of the threads illicit facepalms because the crowd there, while not as bad as Redditors, politically, are quite shallow in their expertise. Simply put, a lot of nerds who don't really know a lot, especially when it comes to what hackernews specializes in. It's likely due to it being the only place on 4chan people feel their desktop/tech support thread fits on.

Ah, this was a surprise since OR doesn't appear all that often on HN -- and I haven't sub'd to quite a few of these. Thank you!
