This search for DConf finds 5 of the 7 talks posted so far:

https://hn.algolia.com/#!/story/past_month/prefix/0/dconf

None have any comments and most have practically no votes, so 
that explains why you didn't find them on there.  Two other talks 
were not labeled DConf for some reason, but only the Meyers talk, 
which wasn't about D, had any comments or much votes:

There has been some suggestion that they are being moderated 
down.  The Reddit postings get about a hundred votes, not sure if 
that's much on their site, as I don't use it.  If you're aware of 
this forum, not sure why you're going there anyway.

There are also 740 and 65.8 MB encodings of Andrei's talk that 
are perfectly usable.  I should know, as I downloaded the latter. 
  Same for Bjarne's talk, which I haven't downloaded.
