Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
The only HN comment links to an interactive heatmap of geocoded Paradise Papers addresses, built in Neo4j. The comment does not discuss the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
I work on graph intelligence at Neo4j. I write about software, startups, and data — you'll find blog posts, videos, and other projects here
