问HN：HN是否应该使用不同的时间算法来进行帖子排名？
我遇到了 @gojomo 的一篇旧帖子： https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4758798
这篇帖子提出了一种不同的时间概念来对帖子进行排名。
目前要解决的主要问题是，当前存在一种激励机制，促使用户寻找最佳的发帖时间，因为活动的波动使得某些时间段的帖子更有可能受到欢迎。
因此，建议引入一种不同的“时间滴答”——或许可以用全站的活动计数器来代替时间，比如浏览次数、投票数或提交数。
我觉得去除寻找最佳发帖时间的激励机制这个想法很有趣。我认为理想的排名算法应该使发帖时间与帖子曝光次数之间的相关性降到零。
期待听到大家的想法！

I came across this old post by @gojomo: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4758798<p>which suggests a different concept of time for ranking posts<p>the main issue trying to be solved is that currently there is an incentive to find the best time to post something, as the variance in activity causes some times to make for a higher likelihood of post popularity<p>the suggestion is thus for there to be a different kind of time "tick" - instead of time itself, maybe a site-wide counter of activity such as number of views, votes, or submissions<p>I find the idea of removing the incentive to find the best time to post interesting. I think an ideal ranking algorithm drives the correlation between the time of posting to the number of impressions on a post to zero.<p>Interested in hearing y'alls thoughts!
