On: Ask Dang: What are some statistics about the HN community?

Dang mentioned the following a couple of months ago:

> HN gets 1400-ish submissions and 12,000-ish comments a day, and 5M-ish users a month.

After filtering out dead and deleted stories, it's about 950-1000 stories per weekday, and about 650 stories per weekend-day. This is what I consistently see after two or so months of curating HN's 'new' tab for my newsletter.
