Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog for posts on where the US population lives by latitude, which one commenter used to argue that Hawaii trips are costly, and for a post on obscenities and oaths.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
Even from the west coast it's a 6 hr flight. Combined with time difference, it often means 2 days on travelling alone. Even worse for people in mid west or near west coast, which is the majority of where the population is [0]. For most people I know, Hawaii is a trip once every few years, and definitely not twice a year. [0] http://dhmontgomery.com/2018/02/population-latitude/
