thedrake’s victorious final comment “ SOLVED!!!!!! I spent several hours looking for an axe or a hatchet or an Ubåt…” is dead.
Possibly because of a heuristic aimed at killing spam posts with too many links.
- dang 3y agoThanks! it's https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14673626 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14673626 and I've unkilled it now. (It was killed because of the lmgtfy link btw)
- geor9e 3y agoI still don't get it. That comment just says they searched google images for axe pics. In Chinese, for some reason. They don't even address the letter Y mystery.

- slim 3y agois there a way to show [flagged] and [delayed] ?
- dang 3y ago[flagged] shows on comments when flags significantly outweigh downvotes. [delayed] shows when a comment isn't being displayed yet because it's still less than N minutes old, where N is the 'delay' setting in the commenter's profile (about which, see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html). Does that answer your question?

- pksebben 3y agoc'mon, man, that's not an answer. I'm asking for details! The value I can see in this post, as relates to what I think merits HN: - there's a deep dive into researching a supply chain - the research in question is an outstanding example of OSINT - great reading over a cup of coffee - I didn't have to read about freaking NFTs or anybody's politics
