No? It's at the footer.
Indeed, it seems that my eyes are trained to ignore footers.

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.
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.

Also note the similar Best Comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/bestcomments
And I seem to recall seeing a "best of all time" comments, but I can't find a direct link to it. Anyone know the URL for that?

Is there an RSS version of "best"? What is the actual definition, >x up votes? https://news.ycombinator.com/rss works but https://news.ycombinator.com/best/rss doesn't. I know of the alternative https://hnrss.org/frontpage?points=10&comments=10 . Is that basically the same thing?
Seems like that "Best" is ending soon to the bests list.
