How did this submission make it to the #10 slot, after being posted 38 minutes ago, and with a handful of comments?
This is a very boring update about some product specs. I cannot see how it could be interesting enough on it's on to merit such a rapid response. It's not even remotely interesting on its own (it's essentially a boring advert).
I noticed the same happened with a Purism advert yesterday.
I'm a natural cynic, so perhaps I'm fooling myself into seeing what I want to see, but is this an example of shilling? Does HN have a history of promoting adverts masquerading as content (Reddit style)?
