It's historically important, unlike most stories on HN which seem recently to be about navel gazing outdated hardware. But HN does HN - y'all are millionaires and I understand many topics of actual revelence to the majority don't have much affect on the nouveau bourgeoisie here who are primarily white, male, and straight. I guess I answered my own question.

Good luck with being uncomfortable bald. Maybe it's not the baldness you're actually uncomfortable with.

I'm not bald, but I do enjoy exposing hypocrites whose empathy and concern for the disadvantaged is selective. Is it anything more than a rhetorical tactic to try to force your will on others?

The HN algorithm doesn't know whether a post is historically important or not. It knows the age and the votes (and some other stuff like flags and comments and the domain).
