As someone who submitted yesterday [1], I'd think we need to give new applications more days to catch up with early applications before making a decision.

Also, I think in order to give more reliability to the HN votes and ranking we need to find a way to give a similar exposure to all the applications, this would make up for other bias like time of submission.

One idea is to feature a subset of the applications in the front-page for a given amount of time. (not sure if that's what you're trying to do with /applyrand)
