Dangit, I was going to make a snarky remark about how this story had already been posted, and thus the submitter was "ducking" the search feature ... but then I searched for that previous discussion and couldn't find it. (Tried all combinations of ship, immigration, hack, startup, bay ...)
Again, it doesn't help that each story's title manages to avoid the terms "immigration, ship, hack, anchor, foreigner, visa", and, as mentioned before, HN doesn't encourage summaries. puts on flamesuit
No, it was one more specifically about the one startup's plan to anchor a big ship 12 miles out from SF and ferry in workers each day.
Although it was a different article in the first place, and so wouldn't count as a dupe, just same startup/plan. (I wish HN encouraged posting summaries and background links along with the story links like on slashdot and LessWrong.)

I believe you're referring to the Ars Technica article which was submitted two weeks ago here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3286693
Thanks, that's the one.
Now why are my HN searches on "immigration hack startup" just now starting to get that story as a result, when they didn't before?
