蒐集 Hacker News 上被不合理條件「消失」的連結

在「Stories removed from the Hacker News Front Page, updated in real time (github.com/vitoplantamura)」這邊看到的計畫,專案在 GitHub 上面:「vitoplantamura/HackerNewsRemovals」。

蒐集的條件是假設如果本來在第一頁上面 (top 30),不應該下一分鐘就調出 top 90:

The assumption is that a Story cannot go from the top 30 to a position higher than 90 in a single minute, without having been explicitly removed.

dangid=39231821 有解釋有些情況是會直接被 downrank 出去的:

The first two you listed were downranked by the flamewar detector. The last one was downranked by users. Admins didn't touch any of them.

其實 Hacker News 混久了大家心裡也都有底,這兩個很 buggy 的機制就是要夠 buggy 才能操弄,這點從某些特定主題 (像是 climate change 相關的) 會突然消失,然後被推給這兩個系統...

所以 Hacker News 被說黑箱也不是一天兩天了,隔壁 Lobsters 至少有 Moderation Log 可以看...

現在這樣可以撈出其他有用的連結來看了,另外應該也可以讓他變成類似 Hacker News Daily 的方法才對,每天整理出來後變成一篇 blog post,這樣可以訂起來看,來提議給作者看看好了?
