Does anyone know why this post isn't anywhere near the front page? It was posted 1 hour ago, has 11 points, and 11 comments. It's not a dupe, and it's from a reputable/popular source.
According to the recently submitted Stories Removed from the HN Front Page [1], this did make it to the front page, but then plummeted off.
Why would anyone flag a submission like this? I wish it were possible to 'vouch' for a post that has been flagged but is not currently dead.
