PEOPLE BEHIND THE RECOMMENDATIONS
Our notable
readers.
A list we define, starting with accounts that have at least 10,000 HN karma in our saved snapshot. We can add or exclude people as the project evolves.
314 included accounts. Profile snapshots: 2026-11-02, 2026-11-03. These are readers in our sample, not a ranking of all HN users. Karma changes over time and is not shown as a historical value.
We currently have profiles for 3468 of 3476 requested accounts. 8 profiles are unavailable or missing; we don’t assume they have low karma.
