Funny, I posted this yesterday and got no up votes. Can you post a duplicate of some post and get up voted? I didn't realize that was possible.

  Take a look at the Medium URLs and you'll see they have a fragment ID and so count as different submissions.

    I wondered why this didn't get merged with my submission. Makes a neat example of how random getting on the HN front page is though. Although I'm sad that randomness chose to give the second posting karma instead of mine.

      What was your title? Without a good one, your post might have been just skipped by most.

        like Digg before it, HN can be easily easily gamed you have sizable groups of people who work like one team, one person submits and others up vote In the Digg days I was approached by some guys in Eastern Europe who offered to get me diggs for $$. I declined. I was hoping HN is harder to game, but I don't see any evidence that support that.

        Exactly the same except including the "radically" from the blog post. Wow I missed out on 400+ karma at this point... Oh well, at least they are only internet points.

          These people and their gamified minds... ;)
