As an aside, I do find it interesting that this submission is nowhere to be found from the main page itself (or at least 5 pages back, despite 50 points and 17 comments. I guess it was flagged/vouched back, but having showdead on in your hacker news profile does nothing to help if the algorithm drops the submission into nowhereland.

That is reason enough for the existence of hckrnews.com, imo.
