alt Hacker NewsWow, Reuters is orwellian. I was just reading something about Huang owning something like 3,6% of the company, when mid-sentence the page refreshed and the paragraph disappeared.

I don't know if it's necessarily Orwellian. News organizations always publish about breaking news quick with either a stub or an intro paragraph to a pre-written article, and then rewrite it. I would prefer a published article history, of course, but I don't think it's malicious.
The algorithms reward both speed and unchanging URLs.
>Wow, Reuters is orwellian.
I think this is, respectfully, ignorance on your part. The Reuters URL is not a static article, it's a "live" feed of brief blurbs about the subject at hand that are being added in real time. The live feed updated to add new content while you were reading it, and you likely just missed finding your place when you tried. In point of fact, the 3.6% paragraph you mention was still there when I looked a moment ago:
>Huang, who co-founded Nvidia and is its fourth-largest investor with a stake of about 3.61%, will not remain on the board.
Careful not to shoot from the hip!
