Impressive work! Nit on design: in first ~3 attempts to scan through the page to see if it is worth reading, i found myself stopping very early when the black background started given it usually signals a footer and end of useful content. The only reason I ended up discovering there is more content was the sanity check that if it is HN front news there has to be more to it :)
Another nitpick is that the sliders are all unlabelled and rely only on their colours matching the text. I found myself having to go back and forth between the text and the sliders, and I imagine it must be worse for colour blind people.
Maybe this should make you think about your "worthiness" scan ;)
Agree it is imperfect but there is too much Internet, too little time in life, therefore fast heuristics and patterns are useful :)
