Is there some sticky mechanism going on here or how is that raengan comment so far on top even with all those comments disagreeing with the content of it?
I'm just a casual HN reader, but my understand is that the up vote button is not to be used as an "I agree" button but rather as a "This is relevant to the conversation" button. That being said, as the comment is by a cofounder of PIA, it is extremely relevant regardless of opinion about this situation.
