HN doesnt build a social graph or an interest graph but its still interesting to me.
Now if they can just do something about comments. Like just randomly cull a chuck every hour or so and it will be a nice energy generating space to hang out.
If it does mean chunk, I think it means randomly removing clusters on the network graph. I'm guessing the idea is that it would promote healthier networks because you'd periodically be removing portions and only the parts you thought were really worthwhile would get reconnected?
Alternatively, we delete comments by whichever user's screen name reminds us most of the name "Chuck"
That makes way more sense. I thought it was something rude but I couldn't figure it out.
