Yes. Sorry, John—and to everyone else affected by our bug this morning. If anyone has concerns about a specific post, please email hn@ycombinator.com.
I'll change the url of the current item to the blog post. Two better solutions that we don't support yet would be either to (a) reset the clock on the earlier post, which has the discussion [1], or (b) merge that thread into this one. As it turns out, we are working on both of these (unrelated to the bug).
