I promoted this to featured, in small part because I’m happy about additions to important conversations (pascal’s mugging), in medium part because of the good conversation it inspired (both in the comments and in this post by Zvi), and in large part because I want people to know that these types of technical posts are really awesome and totally a good fit for the LW frontpage, and if they contain good ideas they’ll totally be promoted.
