If the author reads this (or anyone else cares to chime in), are there any other symptoms that were/are noticed?

discussion about this from last night:

My question wasn't about flagged status, it was about why this story was not on the frontpage (even though several posts about it at the time had tons of up votes and weren't flagged). I'm assuming the mods were preventing those posts from hitting the frontpage.

> Articles about Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, or Chelsea Manning would also be subject to those rules.

Agreed. This is selective censorship by the HN moderators (which is fine, as it's clearly up to them as to what's deemed important here, but the rules for being flagged need to be more clear in this manner then).

> Political issues as at least typically have different perspectives to discuss, people-facts do not.

If people-facts do not have different perspectives to discuss, then why would the death of someone (regardless of who they are) be relevant to HN (even though they are routinely on the frontpage)? Or as user "bdcravens" wrote above, then "Articles about Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, or Chelsea Manning would also be subject to those rules", but are also routinely on the frontpage.

Trump saying him and Melania testing positive for the Coronavirus four weeks out from the presidential election is huge news. This story is not about politics (i.e. about a political issue), it is about a political/world leader and his wife.

Edit: So "TV news" covering the newest iPhone release would probably be off-topic too then based on this reasoning, but this seems to reliably hit the front page of HN everytime Apple does so. Apologies for the bad example.

Agreed. This is critical.

Reminds me of the Pied Piper ad from Silicon Valley:

Totally agree. The only registrar I trust less than GoDaddy is Network Solutions (which isn't saying much because they're both garbage).

I asked this exact question about a week ago:

Montana, ND and Wyoming are pretty seriously different than Norway or New Zealand.

I'd love to move to Norway or Iceland.

I saw Terminator when I was very young and more recently, Ex Machina was pretty great regarding what "passing" the Turing test might look like.
