Same link as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11400124 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11400124 but with now 11 points? How is this possible? EDIT: I'm asking because the dupe check seems to be broken.

Why shouldn't it be possible? Edit: Ahh, I see now that you posted the previous link.

  People think HN has some dupe detection. People expect it to catch identical URLs.

    HN has a dupe detection. That's why I'm wondering what's going on. It seems to be a bug. When I submit something that is already there the systems gives an upvote and doesn't register it as a second post. But not this time.

Bad timing ; interested people missed your link but were there when this one popped up. Try again next time.

  Also link sharing, people who submit stuff might often also send it to their friends.

  No, HN normally recognizes dupes.

    Afaik the dupe checker checks against whatever is currently cached in memory. It does not check dupes against items on disk. Effectively, it is a dupe heuristic. If someone recently accessed the previous submission, the dupe checker detects it.
