If you want a dense, technical explanation, I wrote about this hypothetically back in April, for the same site:

http://uploadvr.com/what-the-bleep-is-lytro-doing-in-vr/

The editor informs me that HN has crushed his site, though. Should be back up soon, I hope. (Good argument for mirroring my own articles on my otherwise-defunct blog, I suppose.)

It crushed it for a bit, but now it is back and strong

uploadvr_will, you've been marked as [dead], probably due to spam filtering on new accounts. Most users won't be able to see your posts, but you should be able to contact the admins to get it fixed.

If you click the timestamp you should be taken to a page that has a "vouch" link. So non-mods can now vouch for dead posts.

I think DanBC inadvertently gave the wrong (first) link for the original announcement of this feature. It was https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10298512. The link Dan gave was when we announced some other stuff, that you also should know about. :)
