The previous submission had exactly the same URL and title, so why did the duplicate detection system allow me to submit this? Still, there's some interesting discussion there, thanks for pointing it out.

Just for clarity: I don't care about duplicates. When I post links to past discussion it's only to point people to comments that they may find interesting. I think the dupe detector is weak to allow interesting articles more chance to get substantial discussion. This is an interesting article, and it would be (in my opinion) a shame if it got caught in the dupe detector. (But obviously I'm not a mod!)

Because it was 584 days ago. HN lets you repost something after a while.

  If a link was posted that long ago maybe the original year could be automatically appended.

    Usually the year means the year it was posted on the source site. That doesn't necessarily mean it'll be posted here the same year.
