This is on the frontpage currently:

Flexport is hiring software engineers in Amsterdam (we can get you a visa) (flexport.com)

Any idea why the comment and voting icons are not present? How does it get to the front-page if upvoting isn't possible? Just wondering, havent seen something like this before.




Apologies found the answer in the faq

>> Another kind of job ad is reserved for YC-funded startups. These appear on the front page, but are not stories: they have no vote arrows, points, or comments. They begin part-way down, then fall steadily, and only one should be on the front page at a time.
