My guess is pg_is_a_butt gets enough salt from his username.

But this got me curious. Who are the sweetest users?

And what kind of topics generate most salt? This will be interesting because there has been a general trend on HN where people bemoan "HN hates X" with X being cryptocurrency, Tesla, new starts on Show HN.

Actually, username & story titles aren't included in the model. We may experiment with including them in the future but for now we left them out to avoid any undo bias.

Sweetest users is a good question. I'll have to build out that view some time.

politics, gender, race, theoretical physics (particularly dark matter) and javascript.
