This story hasn't been submitted before. It was ranked #1 for a little while, and promptly was demoted to non-front page. This happens a lot, most people just miss it/forget about it.
- DanBC 11y ago> This story hasn't been submitted before Yes it fucking has. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10064782 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10064782 This version uses a mobile link. The previous version includes a bunch of URLcruft. In fact: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10064782 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10064782 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10063756 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10063756 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10063612 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10063612 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10063555 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10063555 It has had repeated submissions, and one previous submission has over 60 comments. It's probably being flagged as a dupe. EDIT: Also, NYT has a paywall and some people auto-flag any NYT submission.
- pen2l 11y agoOkay, thanks for the proof! I should mention that in most cases the story seems to not have persisted in the top, even though it's a story that likely many HN users would want to discuss. I wish you hadn't escalated this to usage of profanities, but it's all good.
