    The blog post this submission links to has some summary and comments. I'm not sure if it's truly a dupe of the PDF linked to in the parent's submission. Open to being educated, though.

    It's completely ok to resubmit stories after some time has passed if it helps them reach more people who may have missed the original submission. I don't think this would be considered a dupe. The only gripe I have is guidelines say to stick to original sources so I'd rather see a repost that's closer to the source :)

      "guidelines say to stick to original sources" I can understand that perspective. That said, I liked the blog post, both its content and formatting. Very inviting. Looking at the PDF now, both its formatting and its length, I don't know if I would have taken the time to read it. I think they complement each other. And I'm glad for the original submission as well. Lots of great discussion in the comments.

        Totally agree. Guidelines are after all guidelines. I was trying not to be too polarized about the dupe flag by offering some middle ground. I like the post and generally disagree with the dupe flag that was on it :)

      It's ok to resubmit stories after some time has passed, but this one was submitted four weeks ago with significant discussion alongside it. I'm totally ok with stories like this being resubmitted after 3-6 months, but one month is too soon by my mark. Resubmitting stories that don't get initial traction is fine, but this post had a lot of traction when it was submitted last time so it doesn't fit in that category. > I don't think this would be considered a dupe. Have a look here, dang clarifies what is a dupe in this post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10223645 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10223645 . It should clear up why mods marked this story about german nuclear scientists as a dupe. Plus, the try submitting http://germanhistorydocs.ghi-dc.org/pdf/eng/English101.pdf http://germanhistorydocs.ghi-dc.org/pdf/eng/English101.pdf and you'll see it gets caught by the dupe detector. Note that I didn't mark this post as a dupe, the site moderators did that.

        We've seen successful re submissions within days. I'm not on board with getting a pitchfork out after four weeks. I am probably biased because I missed this the time it was posted four weeks ago. Let's agree it's relative. Thanks for the clarifying links though. I'm not upset it was flagged as a dupe. I'm all for HN moderation, just want to make it clear a lot of people probably missed this. If that's ok and we bury this story I am ok with that. Let's resubmit next year :)
