My parents nor did any parent step in to help me on this application or the approval processes. Furthermore, the approvals didn't get "rammed through". It took me quite a bit to actually acquire their entitlements and app review approval. I dislike when people assume just because I live in "Silicon Valley" I automatically have everything handed to me. If you would like to learn more about how the processes that I took to achieve this feel free to ask!
Proximity to some of the country's best high schools, universities, and the people who work there, as well as some of the most unique industries in the country, could have played a role. In other places, if not most, people don't even know these things exist. Everyone has the internet, sure, and anyone from anywhere can learn about anything, but it's hard to compete with people who encountered useful/the right information early in life.
Mr. dang, is there some other secret guidelines, stealth censorship, or are only certain languages allowed to be discussed? Post that are submitted are shadow banned or hidden for unknown reasons? Please explain.
You're probably more likely to get a response by emailing the mods directly rather than commenting on a completely unrelated thread.
That being said, one reason a domain gets banned is when they are spam or consistently a source of off-topic or low-quality articles" [0]. Given the string of [flagged] posts from that domain and the bit of the guidelines that say that original sources are preferred, I wouldn't be too surprised if that particular domain was determined to be ban-worthy, whether manually or automatically.
Of course, I'm a nobody with no special insight into how HN works, so take the above with an appropriately sized grain of salt.
There are no restrictions against any programming languages. There are restrictions against accounts using HN primarily for promotion. This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
It's not cynical, and even if it doesn't apply here, the truth is it's frequently the case. I agree it's wrong to generalize and to oversimplify but it's also wrong to ignore the role that wealth and proximity to information play in a person's life. (Again, not saying that's the case here. The title is asking for this discussion. And frankly why can't people express this view?)
I would say that title was obviously not "asking for this".
Comments that try to cast shade on someone else's work or achievements are not good for HN to begin with, and when they're being used to cut down a kid, that's seriously bad.

I would – as an admirer.

Please don't be cynical on HN. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.
