Dang just told that anything reddit related has been downweighted deliberately.

Ask HN: Why some submission got punished for no obvious reason

I submitted a subreddit migration directory redditmigration.com 8 hours agohttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36351065It got more than 250 votes in around 3 hours, it was ranked #1 on NH homepage. But it was moved to page 4 suddenly. I have zero accusation here, just sincerely curious how HN ranking works. How is it possible?

Re:China Bans Livestreaming on Friday June 23, 2017 @11:27AM (#14619830)
Government ordered Weibo, iFent and AcFun to 关停上述网站上的视听节目服务 stop the video and audio programme service because of not having license [1].

So what's video and audio programme? It has a definition, but in practice it has to be interpreted some way. That's why regulation can GET tight sometimes. China is complicated.

Re:China Bans Livestreaming on Friday June 23, 2017 @10:58AM (#14619645)
I have been running a live streaming app here in China for two years.

The title of this gets so wrong - China did not ban livestreaming. Yes, the regulation of livestreaming services gets very very tight recently, we have been fined due to inappropriate content.

The website mentioned in the article like Weibo, AcFun are not about livestreaming, they're YouTube-like video sites. You need special license to run YouTube-like video sites, just the license is almost impossible to apply for non state-run company. There are only 500 something licenses ever issued, you need to acquire a company that have the license, surely the price is extremely high due to scarcity.

I built a Chrome Extension to help myself better identify hot content on HN years ago and can't live without it.

Great Idea! But why not try out the Social Hotness Chrome extension which already has a usable "social meter" for Hacker News.

Not sure where you are in China, but 8.8.8.8 is not blocked for me here in Beijing and everywhere I visited - Shanghai & Hubei province.

Thanks. I am thinking about the same thing on the "clarity" detection and numbers can be used to do some visualisation. Yes, I am going to try it out.

Even more interestingly, "ma(ma)" means breast too in the dialect of my home town which locates at the central part of China.
Re:Machine Learning and Link Spam: My Brush With Insanity on Thursday April 25, 2013 @09:50AM (#5607119)
I've built an anti-spam system for Delicious.com using Naive Bayes classifier with a really huge feature database, think tens of millions, mostly tokens in different parts of the page, those features are given different weights which contribute to the final probability aggregation. The result was similar to what the OP achieved - around 80% accuracy. The piece of work was really interesting and satisfying.

Simply sad.
Thanks for pointing out the concern. Some permissions are not needed indeed, I'll change the twitter oauth settings. But my web app really doesn't do anything other than pulling in the basic user info though.

Ask HN: Review my weekend project (my first coffee-script project)

Basically it's a twitter for your belongings. It help people keep track of things they own and share the ownership online. Most importantly people can tweet, talk and have conversation with other people on things they own.I built this on weekends during summer days last year. I haven't worked on this for quite a while, it's still unfinished, just a proof-of-concept prototype. Backend code is in...

It's a twitter for your belongings. I built this last summer as my first coffee-script project (backend using Clojure), still not finished. What do you think?

As part of an anti-spam effort in my previous project, I collected a disposable email domain list:
