8 points within 30 minutes = second place on the front page, an article of questionable quality and substance from TC, I agree that HN&#x27;s ranking algorithm could use some serious tweaking.<p>It&#x27;s also interesting to see how younger articles with more upvotes are placed lower than this one (for example, the FSM Akka article at the time of this comment).<p><i>Edit</i>: they seem to have fixed it.
