I should state here that I am not the one who made this blog post, so you might want to contact the author himself for further analysis requests ...

I looked for that too in the article and missed it, too. But then I thought it might not be that easy. I suspect there will be a lot of users with a single luck shot or two, ruining the statistics

I agree. The dataset has been around for a while now. Also, even though you can increase your chances a few percent by hitting the right time, the users are still the ones to decide.

That said I do like how downvoting requires a significant karma value. Wish upvoting was the same!

I'd give up all my karma and ability to upvote if it meant that half the HN users with downvoting ability had it taken away. Especially the ones that downvote before replying.
