'pcwalton, I'm coming for you. You're going down.

Kidding aside, the comments it picks out for us are a little random. For instance, this was an A+ predictive thread (it appears to be rating threads and not individual comments):

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10703512

But there's just 11 comments, only 1 for me, and it's like a 1-sentence comment.

I do love that my unaccredited-access-to-startup-shares take is on that leaderboard, though.

Yeah, I'm having to pinch myself a little here. Another slightly odd example it picked out from your history: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10735398

It's a good comment, but "prescient" isn't a word I'd apply to it. This is more like a list of solid takes. To be fair there probably aren't even that many explicit, correct predictions in one month of comments in 2015.
