Ask HN: Perfect HN timing

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2259761 suggests there is no "best" time by some measures. The point is that if you post at quiet times your post stays visible for longer, but there are fewer people to see it. If you post at busy times your post falls down the "newest" page faster, but there are more people looking.

There was a story on the front page yesterday that I can't find, but no, it doesn't matter when you post. There are always enough people viewing the new page to vote it to the front.
