If I could upvote this, I would. No Javascript means I cannot upvote.

? HN is oldfashioned enough that JS on vote buttons is progressive enhancement, not required.

It looks like the issue is the text-browser aspect, not the no-javascript aspect, there's no text displayed in the upvote anchor:

    <a id='up_13847301' onclick='return vote(event, this, "up")' 
      href='vote?id=13847301&amp;how=up&amp;auth=f483a3dbdbad30753751f31882cdbe1bf5cca2ce&amp;goto=item%3Fid%3D13847301'>
      <div class='votearrow' title='upvote'></div>
    </a>

I constructed a proper URL and submitted an upvote.

<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/vote?id=13847301&how=up&auth=f4...

I'm sorry, is this satire?

It could be. It's about leaking the auth token :D

How long did that take you? For me it was about 0.2 seconds with touchpad technology.
