One of the concepts I've heard you talk about before in interviews and the like is simulation. I think simulation is huge and we should be seeing products that cater towards it, but largely aren't.
Do you still think simulation is an important promise of the computer revolution, and are there any products you know of or ideas you have that are/would be a step in the right direction?
It's written in an experimental language, as an experimental side project[0], on a single machine in...I like to think it's PG's basement.
Considering this, it's probably not a service that can be "open sourced" as the number of people who can actually work on it appears to be PG. And PG is probably too busy to even act as the project lead.
You could send it to a link which is hooked to a script that swaps the links for one in ten views or what have you. The extra benefit of that approach is that you don't have to worry about getting the submission ID right when submitting. You can just edit it on your server retroactively.
Not that I'd ever be crazy enough try this for real of course.
EDIT: According to posts I've read the votes aren't valid if the referrer isn't Hacker News. So the only thing possible is what's on display.
