What I find really weird is that this post is at the bottom of the frontpage, even though it has the most upvotes of the entire frontpage (443 at time of writing) and achieved this in only 2 hours. This was the same case for the article containing the 10 page manifesto from last week: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14937895

Could @dang or some other moderator shed some light on why these specific posts are disapearing from the front page so fast? Because this seems like a failure of the ranking algorithm.
