If you are a new user, I suggest reading the guidelines [1].

Been here for 10 years. :)

I think there should be a higher standard than just posting random links without context. How about a single line of text explaining why it is interesting to them?

Your comments in this post are low quality and add nothing to the discussion. Ironic considering your complaining about peopling posting links that get voted on.
I assume it's because it's (it was) a startup, and HN likes reading about those, and what they did different to ensure success.
A startup from ... the 1800's? Thanks for the context, I guess.
