That is vastly more readership than I had thought. A naive look at these numbers suggests that a small city’s worth of people read Elizabeth’s latest post. But I assume that these numbers can’t be taken at face value.
I think this number can be relatively straightforwardly taken at face value. Elizabeth’s post was at the top of HN for a few hours, so a lot of people saw it. A small city’s worth seems about right for the number of people who clicked through and at least skimmed it.
