It was on the front page, but I (and probably others) flagged it because it looked untrustworthy. And indeed it appears to be pretty far off on the numbers.

That said, what makes it on HN is largely a function of luck.

Is it possible to ask someone to just keep Techcrunch off the front page? They're running BS stories like this all the time.
