Do you think the same calculation is applicable to the HN user base? Seems like the relevant inputs are:
* New active users per month (instead of 4M born per year)
* Frequency that a link hits the HN top, assuming a high percentage of active HN users will subsequently forever know about the link
* Total number of times the link hit the top as a proxy for longevity of popularity
