Any idea how many posts/replies are being posted to hackernews every minute? Any wild guess?

Ok, so do you think that's the normal range? Pretty lower than I expected.

I would imagine it fluctuates wildly based on the topics of the day, the time of day, and the day of the week. On a real hot topic you'd see it spike.

Depends, most of us only type ratatata when company websites are down

It depends on the topic, time etc. Now I see around 40-60/min.

In my experience it goes up a lot when America wakes up
