I'm curious how scalable Hypernetes is. As it is based on K8s, will it support 1k nodes?

As Hypernetes is based on Kubernetes, scaling capacities are the same between both - tests have been made up to 100 nodes, but we believe more would be possible.

Thanks for your interest, do you have such infrastructure to build? Would love to hear about it.

Astroturfed/sockpuppet votes and comments are not ok on HN and will get the offending accounts and sites penalized.

Since the current post looks like good work, and we hate to see good work penalized, we'll override the penalty this time. But please don't do it again.

Wait, what?

Hi Dang, and thanks for your appreciation of our work. I'm a little bit confused though, as far as I know we didn't employ such "Astroturfed/sockpuppet votes" methods, and I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation of this.

In that case it's probably either that (a) someone tried to help promote your post, not realizing that it was against the rules, or (b) what we call "astroturfed/sockpuppet votes" is different than how you understand those terms.

Arranging for friends or colleagues to upvote a post is against the rules on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html). We want users to vote for stories because they personally find them intellectually interesting, not because they or someone they know has content to promote. Voting for the latter reason is verboten; those are called voting rings and HN has software to protect against them. That software wasn't happy about the votes on this story.

Still worse is when users in a voting ring add comments to the thread, seeming to express organic interest. Most HN users hate that and it's particularly verboten.

I don't mean any of this to pick on you guys personally, but rather to explain the rules. We'll take your word for it that you didn't break them or at least not wittingly.
