Points and time determine the position of a story. But if a moderator decides that he wants to, he can flag the story for a certain amount of position, 20, 40( next page )... You will probably only find such story only if you dig quickly enough using more.
It is an effective way of removing content. Deleting it would cause uproar, but that way the story fades almost unnoticed even to the commenters who noticed it.
There are also similar methods employed for specific users.
I'm quoting a news article: The RadiumOne founder and CEO pleaded guilty to one count of domestic violence battery and one count of battery. Remaining charges were dismissed.
Except for one with 7 comments there are no discussions in them. A lot of articles with identical topic are usually posted on HN, yet the only relevant ones are those with activity. Others fade automatically.
Do you have a purpose with your fullscreen comment?
I also think that the continuous submission of the same new from different sources is a problem. (But I usually only post a “previous discussion” when one of the old versions have a lot of comments, or a very interesting comment.)
Most of them are only a rehash of the original new, without any additional information. Sometimes it’s worst, and every rehash lost a part of the information and add some hype. The guidelines advice to submit the original version.
The problem is that a lot of interesting technical new are only submitted once, and they are lost in the infinite streaming of almost-dupes.
In the last days I saw a few: “Earthlike planet”, “Fuelband”, “Codebabes”, “Atari ET”
Calling it fastest is not fair. Timsort appears to be very fast because most real world data we operate it on is somewhat sorted, but requires O(n) extra memory. It simply depends on the situation and data.
Yes I am sure that this is how PACER works and furthermore I am also sure that the RECAP project does not have anything for this case. Did you notice the link you provided is merely a list of 71 case related documents? Do you know how many of those 71 documents have nothing listed in the "upload date" column?
"The recovery operations were challenging," Musk told reporters from Washington, D.C.. The seas were heavy, he said, so the recovery team suspects the stage was destroyed. They were, however, able to find pieces that join the first and second stage.
If they were able to recover the stage from the ocean, it would probably take about a couple months to refurbish it for flight, Musk said.
