One of the other articles on HN's front page right now, is that Germany's implementation of eIDAS will require a Google or Apple account.

I genuinely feel like there is something happening where hackernews articles come in bunch/reference-to-each-other :]

So one of the comments on one hackernews post on front-page almost somehow always refer to something within a hackernews post on the same front-page. I have seen this witnessed too many times that it might be time to name this phenomenon.
