0 comments and 23 points? What's up with this? This seems like very compelling content to me.

Very compelling content, everyone knows here isn't the place to talk about it. You have to keep in mind, YC points to HN as the place to go show off for PG. It literally says that on the how to apply page. Even if you're not here to suck up, you can be shadow-banned for being too critical of YC or the startups they've funded.

edit: And thats just for me as a guy who doesn't post under a name connected to me or my online identity in any way. People for whom their comments can follow them around have even more reason to bite their tongue.

That thought had certainly crossed my mind, but I thought it was just paranoia, the continued disparity between /r/programming and here though does lend credence to the the theory.

It's on the front page of /r/programming with 551 upvotes right now. Don't know what happened herer!

Yeah, that's actually where I saw it, very strange.

Could be the title.

Wait a week, resubmit it with a different one.

Simple, the article was just written, and most of HN's readership is still asleep.

For 20 hours?

When was it written? I see 9:24pm as the first response, and am using that as a proxy for the writing date.

There's also the time needed for the article to bump its way up to the home page.
