Is it acceptable to repost things? (I'm not HN expert).

Meta, but whatever. You really ought to check the search funtion for a url before you post it. But the dupe detector/merger ought to be smarter, in a world where medium and feedburner, to take two examples, tack all manner of querystring garbage onto a url.

Actually what's disturbing (and I am a paid subscriber to nautil.us) is that nautil.us is duplicating content. They took that old interview and passed it off as new content in their latest edition. Not really fair to us paying readers!

  the domains are different. is "cosmos" a separate thing?

    It's actually my favorite part of nautil.us but has not been updated lately so maybe I am the only one :( It is a subsection (as it is a subdomain) but it's linked to directly from their main page. Consider it a magazine within the main publication.

  Do you pay anything more than attention to nautil.us? I think that site gets far too much coverage on HackerNews along with atlas obscura -- I see multiple articles everyday. Honestly I find their content here too frequently -- there is some manipulation going on.

"Is it acceptable to repost things?" As per the HN FAQ (link at bottom of page), you can repost something if it hasn't gotten significant attention in the last year. The previous discussion of this story is only three months old.
