Someone asked me that today. There seems to be a slight increase in traffic, but there's so much fluctuation normally that it's impossible to say, and it ticked down a bit today relative to last Wednesday.

I suspect it's just noise. Perhaps our users are particularly honest and don't goof off on HN while working at home any more than they do while working at the office.



Thanks for answering!

> Perhaps our users are particularly honest

Or particularly dishonest and have historically goofed off on HN at the office everyday until they ran out of content to read!


(That's kind of what I meant, but don't tell them.)


I'm not goofing off, I'm networking!

We're not goofing off, Dan; we're using our non-commute time to learn about the environment.


Well it can't really get much higher than 95% of the time!
