There's extra weight to comments and how fast the upvotes are. If all votes are instant it'll go higher than votes over a longer period.
josephmx··on Show HN: Find your competitors that Google can't
I got 8.5k in the first day of a post here, which was less popular than this post (I saw something like 150 sessions/minute when I peaked at #6)
josephmx··on Airwheel – electronic thingamy some Sydney residents are using to get about
I've seen a lot around Oxford Circus, I'm gonna guess tourists or hipsters ;)
josephmx··on The gimp.org domain has expired
Namecheap and GoDaddy also offer auto renewal. I've never heard of auto renewal not being offered.
josephmx··on HTC sends Fantastic Four push notification ad
I still see this today

josephmx··on Your Head as a Battleground, Dueling Memes
How did you get your whole site running in just 3 requests?
josephmx··on Safari is more energy-efficient than Chrome and Firefox on OS X
Windows 8.1 probably makes more sense, I'm not sure how stale a 1 day old OS would be
josephmx··on 1,000 tech experts warn against AI arms race
Why is Stephen Hawking treated like a tech expert?
josephmx··on Apple’s Share of Smartphone Industry’s Profits Soars to 92%
It's probably a mix, they have only a few phones so they're easy to understand ("I have the bigger iPhone from last year" or "I have the HTC One M9" - the former is easier to remember and understand for non savvy people), and better brand recognition - despite being expensive is HTC considered luxury like Apply is?
josephmx··on 5 out of 7 .io nameservers appear to be down
I was under the impression that ccTLDs are administered/ran by the country they belong to (eg, I thought .us was administered by the US government). It sounds like I'm wrong though, my bad.
josephmx··on 5 out of 7 .io nameservers appear to be down
I think (but don't hold me to it), that country-ran (eg, .co.uk, .us) or major TLDs are safe (eg, .net, org)
josephmx··on What’s really going on in downtown Vegas?
If there are no cars in the street (and therefore safe), have you considered just plain walking across the road like a sentient human?
josephmx··on Without LinkedIn account I won't get a job in US?
Having so many recruiters is the value. I get multiple recruiters a week messaging me on LinkedIn, and it's growing constantly. By the time I'm job hunting I'll be able to message a lot of recruiters all at once.
josephmx··on Firefox download on SourceForge
Sure, and a number of anti-viruses allow you to ignore their warnings, but I'd bet the majority of users will trust their software to not steer them wrong
josephmx··on Firefox download on SourceForge
My understanding is that this is the default though? How many people stray from the default.
josephmx··on Firefox download on SourceForge
Deciding to completely censor (edit: in practice, since few users are likely to dare/bother to skip warnings) legitimate (although unethical) websites seems sketchy. What happens when the uBlock maintainers decide that Facebook/Google/etc goes too far with their ethics - will they block that?
josephmx··on If I Knew Then
If that's the sacrifice for a successful marriage I'm not sure it could be worth it...
josephmx··on Placebo Button
Looks like it just puts HTML onto the page, you can do JavaScript as well at a glance (so long as you add <script></script> and an event to trigger, since pageload already happened)
josephmx··on Rearchitecting GitHub Pages
A significant amount also seem to saturate their line, especially on photo-heavy static sites
josephmx··on India should make more of a valuable asset abroad
It's interesting that all the European countries (nationalities) fall together on that graph[1]

josephmx··on Why PowerPoint should be banned
At my school we were marked down if we put more than X words on a slide (The rule was if you can't read the entire slide on a projector across the room, you have too much text), everything else should be in the slide notes.
josephmx··on Show HN: Visa Explorer – Salaries, lawyers, companies of all H-1B in the USA
1.1M in Pittsburg is more than 1.5M in Mountain View though, so I'd stand by the first one being worth more
josephmx··on Your data fits in RAM
I sincerely hope nobody is using a tool like this to decide which enterprise servers to buy...
josephmx··on Pure CSS FizzBuzz
Embarrassing! I'm not sure how it happened, sorry
josephmx··on Pure CSS FizzBuzz
That's correct, but I left the link off because the fizzbuzz comment isn't strictly relevant, it just interested me a little. Would it be better etiquette to put the link in?
josephmx··on Pure CSS FizzBuzz
I'm grinning more than socially okay at work right now, thanks a lot! It's really appreciated
josephmx··on Coolors – color scheme generator for designers
It would be nice if we could start with a "seed" colour
josephmx··on Fundraising While Female
The tone doesn't seem to reflect 0.2 -> 0.5, more like 0.1 -> "sure thing, impossible not to get funded"
josephmx··on Google Ends Page Speed Service
It seems to be implied that this is the same team as Mod_Pagespeed? Hopefully that won't get discontinued as well, it's pretty valuable
