To obtain the most relevant information on a submission/subject of interest,

I click on the site reference [1] first, this allows me to determine the sites user/HN ranking/reliability,

by the number of [dead]/[flagged] submissions vs. points [2] and comments [3],

and to see duplicate submissions with comments [3],

it also allows checking all submissions from a site of interest. [1]

I'm then able to click comments [3] and read HN Readers opinions/information.

How do You use HN to Inform and Educate yourself?
