So now you can be on the first page of HN with an April's fool article on April 7th?

Post is dated March 30, I'd say sadly this was probably not intended as an April Fools joke.

Unless they're using the 'voltswagen' NTP server :P /lamejoke

Is it showing the date in local Australian time, or translating for your time zone?

If it was saying 31st I would consider that an option, but I'm 8 hours behind AUS and it says 30th for me.

Its a good example of a disapointing April fools joke polluting a serious issue.

People believe it's a serious issue now which distracts from real issues.
