Apparently some people disagree with this statement, but it's correct - karma on HN is definitely countable, hence 'fewer'. Of course, it sounds stupid, but apparently the rule is ironclad, to always be followed.

Which reminds me, the 'split infinitive' rule is yet another nonsense grammatical rule that is overapplied.
