Worryingly marked [dead] in fact, how did it end up dead?

It might not be the greatest article, but it highlights a very real and new point of failure that cloud apps are introducing. I was hoping for a good discussion to check out later.



Probably because of the horrible link-bait title and general inaccuracy of the article. Especially when this link was also on the front-page (a clear, concise description of what happened without the added FUD).


Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence.. :) HN's code is weird in places, e.g. it's possible to accidentally kill your own posts by double-clicking submit (I can't remember why it does this, but there was a sensible-ish explanation)


Yep, happens the same thing with comments (found out thanks to a mouse malfunction)


People probably flagged it over the crappy title and the fact that much of the comments were meta discussion.
