Does HN not detect duplicates? I submitted the same article 3 minutes before OP.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10239985 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10239985
There's also another submission 15 minutes after OP's submission too.

- doughj3 11y agoThe URLs are slightly different, this post uses: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/19/business/volkswagen-is-ordered-to-recall-nearly-500000-vehicles-over-emissions-software.html http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/19/business/volkswagen-is-ord... Your submission uses: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/19/business/volkswagen-is-ordered-to-recall-nearly-500000-vehicles-over-emissions-software.html?module=Notification&version=BreakingNews®ion=FixedTop&action=Click&contentCollection=BreakingNews&contentID=50913528&pgtype=Homepage http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/19/business/volkswagen-is-ord...
- metasean 11y agoIt does to a point. The OP's link after .html: ?_r=0 Your link after .html: ?module=Notification&version=BreakingNews®ion=FixedTop&action=Click&contentCollection=BreakingNews&contentID=50913528&pgtype=Homepage The 3rd link after .html: ?referrer= In this case, while the links may lead to the same article, they are NOT the SAME link. edited: to make url differences more visible
- bigdubs 11y agoThe urls are different for the one you submitted and OPs. Generally if you can remove extra query string params in the submission it helps the filter / deduper work better.
- chmaynard 11y agoAs I understand it, the new policy at HN is to allow duplicate posts to make sure enough readers see the article. I used to check for duplicates before posting, but now I don't bother.
