I've seen this couple discussed on HN before, although my searching abilities are failing me, I just found https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21051965 which is the same couple, but with 3 points and 1 comment, isn't likely to be the discussion I remember.

There's also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9344837 4 points 11 years ago, although the link is dead.
