Is there a database dump of HN?


I'm interested in running some analysis on posts/comments, and I would prefer not to scrape the site with a bot. Does HN offer a periodic database dump? If not, can it be considered? I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be interested in it.

BigQuery has a copy you can run queries against. One of their provided, shared datasets.
