The article mentions Cloudflare, so how much of this was cached by them?
Do you even read the article?
From the HN Guidelines <https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html>:
> Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that".
That guideline is decent I guess.
I am disappointed that they edited another guideline for the worse:
> Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.
It used to just say, don't complain about voting.
If the number of votes are so taboo, why do they even show us the number or user karma (and have a top list)?
Are you new? Nobody actually reads the articles.
False. I almost never upvote an article without reading it, and half of those upvotes are because I already read something similar recently that gave me the same information.
I'll submit in the second case (already read something similar) that, properly speaking, we should read both, and upvote (or submit, if not already here) the better of the articles.
Not that, you know, I often take the time to do that, either - but it would improve the site and the discussions if we all did.
