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.

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

Seems you knew about the the YC company-related submissions being boosted. What makes you think nothing strange is happening to any other submissions?
