At present, I see 29 points on the post, and 39 comments.
My understanding of HN's flamewar detector is that having a post with more comments than points is a strong signal for flamewar.
FWIW this article was on the front page for me regardless.

When it was on Page 4, it kept accruing comments but not as many points.
It hasn't been on the front page that I know of besides a 20-minute span, from when the post was ~30 minutes old to ~50 minutes old.
