You don't need an archive link to view HN at a given time.

True, but a lot of the linked pages 404. Not so at the archive.org page.

See also WaybackHN, which will let you browse by year and month, too. (I made it heh)

Why does Michael Arrington have the same dead comment on every post?

That's not actually Michael Arrington.

Interesting how pg publicizes the user’s IP addresss and possible alts sharing the same IP. I bet that wouldn’t happen in 2019.

The archive link preserves any formatting changes. Which i imagine is the interesting part about this (HN UI hasnt really changed)
