So /lists is another hidden page (:

No? It's at the footer.

Indeed, it seems that my eyes are trained to ignore footers.

fight that training and you may discover all sorts of previously hidden, interesting details.

And the top results of Google. I've recently had to re-train my brain on Kagi where the top results are now ... the actual top results and not ads.

Is there an explanation about how "best" is ranked over time? Is this for the last day or week? Most of the links are within the range of two days.

That would be interesting. Right now looks like it's ranking them based on points.

Unorthodox.

Objective. There is no way to rank these stories otherwise without human interference.

Could easily implement an algorithm that ranks them based on number of new, non-hidden, non-flagged comments during the last 24 hours times the amount of hours since it was posted, which would manifest a 'best' metric where a thread that's really old but still draws discussion would be pushed to the top.

Time to tell the bots to vote!

Seems like that "Best" is ending soon to the bests list.

Interesting links.

When I click on Ask link, I see the list of questions being asked by other members. But I can not post a question. What am I missing?

I checked your first link but nothing is mentioned about this.

You just submit a text post with “Ask HN” as the title prefix. Same with “Show HN”, it's automatically categorized by title.

That's a new information to me. Thank you for the feedback.
