Ask HN: [scribd] vs. [pdf]?

1 pointsiromoney2 comments

I submitted http://www.langner.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/To-kill-a-centrifuge.pdf and [scribd] was added to the title. Is this a thing?

Yes, it is.You'll also notice that [scribd] is pointed to scribd.com .If i'm not wrong, scribd is a YC funded company.

scribd links are (automatically?) added for PDF links, it's a site that displays PDF as HTML.
