I don’t see it at page #1 or #2

You should, because everyone sees the same front page.

Edit: and indeed, the same site generally. That's one thing I used to post a lot about but not so much in recent years.

This post was hidden by mods I think - not on front page

It is still on the front page right now for me, but at #23, which is exceptionally low compared to where it would be expected to be "naturally" for a post with 1585 points.

The short answer is that upvotes alone don't determine rank; upvotes and flags do (and other factors - see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html).

If you want more information, I posted a longer answer at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43212835. If you read that and still have a question that isn't answered there, I'd be happy to take a crack at it.

Thanks, I think you do a fantastic job moderating Hacker News and I realise this post is on a topic that usually wouldn't be surfaced here at all. I do wish all our world leaders could be as diplomatic as you.

And maybe I should read the FAQ properly before I comment on where a post 'should' be ranked.

Thanks for the kind words - and I didn't mean to FAQ-shame you :)

SPY is differently weighted than for example FTSE. Most indexes do not factor in dividends, if you look at the total return data where dividends are reinvested you will see there are gains in Europe, but less than the US.

Thanks, I hadn’t realised the “obvious” indexes were measuring different things
