It's always felt as if HN members not only should, but as a rule do, submit links they've found of interest or value. If a member merely and repeatedly submits their own commercial project(s), it feels out of alignment with the spirit of the site.
More explicit rules or code (like limiting the frequency of submissions from a given member to the same domain name, etc) may not be necessary, as the voting system generally seems to work quite well. Or perhaps such code is already in place? which would help explain the high quality content on HN.
As ever, thank you Dan (and Scott) for maintaining this wonderful resource.

> The dearth of Americans is even more pronounced in hot STEM fields like computer science, which serve as talent pipelines for the likes of Google, Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft: About 64 percent of doctoral candidates and almost 68 percent in master’s programs last year were international students, according to an annual survey of American and Canadian universities by the Computing Research Association.
