About the ranking algorithms:

"techyaks": Primarily uses signals from stories and comments on Hacker News, with some youtube signals thrown in. This is effectively a "best talks according to hacker news" ranking.

"wilsonscore": Wilson confidence intervals [0] from youtube likes and dislikes. Previous discussion about this site when it had only the Wilson score ranking: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17988464
