Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link his posts on a static site generator built from make, shell and pandas in about 150 lines, and on his Google Glass lifestream project and ethics of smart glasses. The comments only cite or link them.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

HN discussionHmm, "Service Temporarily Unavailable" from http://www.stephenbalaban.com/google-glass-lifestream . Maybe it is regular screenshot pulls from your Google Glass put together into a diary of sorts? Microsoft actually has a lot of good work on this, they had a wearable recording pendant in their labs for a while.
