Don't you have enough karma to vouch/favorite that comment? I just did. Usually there's a reason why the comment is automatically flagged so don't agree with your assessment.

I did immediately. It stayed dead!!, which is what prompted the rant.

Depends on the karma you have, but if you click on the time stamp, there is a vouch link there. I just did, and it does not show as dead any more on my end, so hopefully people can see it now.
There has been an answer to your question in this thread for 14 minutes. However only users with showdead on can see it, because Arc has erroneously flagged it as evil. Screenshot/proof of what I currently see: https://i.imgur.com/Y7iM30E.png
HN does get spam, but the text and links don't look like the currently-buried comment does. I can't see it being /that/ hard to train an RNN, what with this being a comp-sci discussion forum...

Oh, about the bar being brown/black in my screenshot - I set the bar color to that of the upvote/karma text, as I don't care to see that information (I start commenting for points, not to contribute meaningfully - it's true). Unfortunately Arc doesn't realize it should make the color of the links lighter so I can see them, so I've had to work hard to learn where the "threads" link is sitting so I can access comment replies.
Bit inconsistent letting me change the background color but not the text color. I can understand it, but still. Getting to the root cause, it would be nice to have an option to completely disable karma score display.
