Points and time determine the position of a story. But if a moderator decides that he wants to, he can flag the story for a certain amount of position, 20, 40( next page )... You will probably only find such story only if you dig quickly enough using more.

It is an effective way of removing content. Deleting it would cause uproar, but that way the story fades almost unnoticed even to the commenters who noticed it.

There are also similar methods employed for specific users.

Make it harder to post a submission perhaps? I would limit the rate for frequent submitters.

I'm quoting a news article: The RadiumOne founder and CEO pleaded guilty to one count of domestic violence battery and one count of battery. Remaining charges were dismissed.

Except for one with 7 comments there are no discussions in them. A lot of articles with identical topic are usually posted on HN, yet the only relevant ones are those with activity. Others fade automatically.

Do you have a purpose with your fullscreen comment?

Limiting launches is not the proper solution. If you want change, start with your local state representative.

Calling it fastest is not fair. Timsort appears to be very fast because most real world data we operate it on is somewhat sorted, but requires O(n) extra memory. It simply depends on the situation and data.

Since the movement and change of speed of the copter isn't very fast you can apply time warp to this; or just make the camera film in 120 fps.

Is the game deeper as it seems on the first playthrough?

Are there any harder to reach options, like having children or reaching old age?

edit: I looked in source, there are no hidden options, you will get everything on the first playthrough.

I missed it; was the first stage found and recovered, even in pieces?

LD14 has a very innovative mechanic, you should expand on that.

Did you use Box2D in your games?

The apparent size of the structure in the sky, is on the order of three magnitudes smaller compared to the size of the moon.

So instead of improving the algorithms that support our virtual currency, we brute force the problem with sending stuff to space(!).

Sounds like a plan that could destroy a civilization in the long term.

In what orbit, that doesn't require propulsion, do you get constant line of sight?
