What's the long-running article that this is a dupe of?
- dang 9y agoNot article; story. Uber. Edit: Oops, forgot that this was a dupe in the strict sense (thanks detaro). My point was that a second test ("significant new information") applies during deluges.
- falsedan 9y agoThe story is 'Uber'? I don't understand: were their a lot of submissions of this article? Was it marked as a dupe because we have a lot of submissions about Uber (on different topics)?
- dang 9y agoThis article was a straight-up dupe of another submission of the same article. Even if it hadn't been, though, the 'significant new information' test—i.e. the lack thereof—would have made it a dupe. Otherwise we end up with a front-page of Uber Uber Uber the same way we had Snowden Snowden Snowden in 2013, with the discussions always the same.
- falsedan 9y ago> a straight-up dupe of another submission of the same article At work, when we have two or more tickets like this, we close one as a Duplicate and link them together with a 'duplicated by/duplicate of' relationship, so that people who end up on the ticket we're not going to work on can find the active one. Do you think this sort of system would work for dupes on HN?
