Apologies in advance for an off-topic meta comment, but I'm curious. I read this 8 hours ago when you posted it and saw it had a couple of upvotes. So how come 8 hours later and with only 6 upvotes this is towards the top of HN? Also strange, it says the article was posted an hour ago, which prompted me to check through your user submissions where it says that it was indeed posted 9 hours ago.

As mentioned, just curious how the upvoting works here. Would be great if someone could help explain.
