Interesting: I submitted this exact story a week or so ago - from a different website. Opening is word for word, different image. http://www.citylab.com/commute/2015/09/why-are-little-kids-in-japan-so-independent/407590/ http://www.citylab.com/commute/2015/09/why-are-little-kids-i... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10320944 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10320944 I can't imagine The Atlantic steals stories; obviously, this must have been re-sold. Just interesting to see it.

Ah, thank you. I felt sure we'd had a big thread about it before, but couldn't find it earlier. Citylab is a project of the Atlantic, btw. We've been seeing more of this cross-publishing lately, without links back to originals. I fear it will move the needle towards more dupes on HN (actual dupes, where we've already had a significant thread about the story in the last year or so).

  "Citylab is a project of the Atlantic" Didn't know that - was surprised the author would have rights to resell his work, and in such a short timespan. That explains!
