Hmm Im starting to think that the really interesting articles cant be recognized by high karma points but by the lack of tens of comments. (tho obviously HN is best for the comments!)
This is really interesting and nicely written article!
This is probably because the articles which are interesting people a) upvote and b) don't understand well enough to comment on.
For example, if we were given an article on protein folding, it might be very interesting - causing upvoting - but also difficult to comprehend for many of us - causing a lack of comments.
A nice heuristic. I think I'll try it a few times.
