i am somewhat bemused that this got 38 upvotes in 16 minutes. i have no idea how hacker news' new page works.

It means there's lots of eyes on the article and the folks agree. No surprise there.

The 72 votes in 38 minutes as of now means that the few who upvoted it from the /new page are being validated by the general community after it got on the front page.
