Ask HN: Is something happening with HN's ranking algo?

I think I started to see a lot more submissions with relatively low number of upvotes and even smaller number of comments on the front page.

10-20 is the normal threshold to make the front page, the past few days haven't exactly reflected this, due to large influx of Apple related posts.

Stories hit the frontpage when they have 3 upvotes, and sometimes stories get a second run at it.
