I agree about the link. Maybe there was no link to avoid looking like a spammy-type post.
Please don't post bare links, particularly multiple. At least add a brief summary of how their content adds to the discussion.
At least write a few words explaining the link you post.
probably best not to post this link until you have some actual content, else people will get the wrong idea :)
where there's no link you should maybe consider linking to the article here on hn?
It's fine to provide the occasional link but please don't do special-purpose accounts on HN.
Yeah, don't. Please leave links to actual things.
If it's relevant to the discussion, I don't see what's wrong with plugging your link. Others will upvote or downvote as necessary.
Maybe post the link in your reply here (not the link the the HN submission, but to what the submission was supposed to link to).
Shouldn't we rather post direct link and add related links in comments?
