Apparently the domain is shadowbanned (https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=minimax.io) which is why people kept submitting it (and normally they cannot be vouched), and presumably a moderator gave this one their blessing.
The solution is for @dang to unshadowban it because Minimax is now a newsworthy company.
They were a newsworthy company when their domain got shadowbanned, too... The spam detector is blind to such things.
it could be the state of HN and not result of shadowban, that some newsworthy link has to be submitted 8 times to go through.
