Please no more comments to the extent of "i can define a much larger number in only 1 bit". What makes my blog post (hopefully) interesting is that I consider tiny programs for computing huge numbers in non-cheating languages, that are not specifically equipped for doing so.

So HN can't do this because I don't think it tracks all clicks but I've been of the opinion for a while that most social media should have the option for posts to not allow people to comment unless they've actually clicked on the link.

like the rest of simple solutions to complex problems suggested by otherwise (seemingly) intelligent people on HN, it simply wouldn't work. do you really not see why?
