This was also submitted yesterday [1], but didn't spark much of a discussion then.

Your link is the same as this one ;)

I think the problem is the title. "In This Talk" doesn't look interesting enough, and in fact I hesitated before clicking. Now I'm glad I did, it's an amusing bunch of anecdotes.

I knew what the title meant the moment I saw it. Being good at giving talks is not completely unimportant for people who want to make money in a venue similar to that of Steve Jobs or so.

Hehe. I actually avoided it because I thought it was "entrepreneurial" advice on giving talks, the sort of article I hate.

Instead, this was a bunch of amusing anecdotes from an oldschool CS guy, no practical advice for startups whatsoever. The kind of article I enjoy! ;)

Oops, thanks!

Still don't understand what happened, pretty sure I saw this listed as being posted less than an hour ago, but the one I saw when I searched was "1 day ago". Weird.

I believe the moderators will on occasion reset the timer for submissions they feel didn't get a good enough reception the first time around. Presumably this post is one such.

Yup. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... has lots of explanation if anyone wants it.
