That Schneier article [1] is very technical and reveals quite a lot of interesting information. It was immediately flagged off HN front page by the flagging brigade [2]. It's highly recommended reading, though.

No it wasn't. It at the top of the front page now.

[selmnoo]

It actually was earlier removed from frontpage, only to reappear after some 10 minutes or so.

[tptacek]

Must be a conspiracy.

[brymaster]

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss weird behavior with submissions. Would you?

[tptacek]

Yes, I would. You probably know less than you think you do about what the people running HN are doing/trying to do.

[wil421]

Looks like the NSA invoked the HN.RemoveArticle method.

That Schneier article is a must read with lots of technical details.

Anyone know how to start identifying the FoxAcid servers and calling them out?

A lot of these articles use abstruse acronyms. Is there perhaps a place where they're all compiled with their explanations?

For instance, what is (U)? Or (S), (SI), and (REL)?

[grier]

U : Unclassified, S : Secret, SI : special intelligence (an SCI control marking), REL : marking that designates release

There's a bunch more too:
