Regarding your later submission <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25220803" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25220803</a> (and <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25221132" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25221132</a>), this probably died because it violated both the letter of HN's guidelines and the spirit of HN. <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html</a> has more, especially:<p>"please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."<p>submit "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity."<p>"Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity."<p>If your main goal is to make a political or ideological point and you're willing to heavily editorialize in order to do that, the site you want is Change.org.
