Seems like a duplicate of [http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1493937 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1493937]. I really wish there was a way to stop the blatant duplicate submission. This is of their feeds.arstechnica.com instead of the already submitted arstechnica.com article.
Maybe this is coincidental, but I am not sure anymore...
- aditya42 16y agoThis isn't the duplicate, the other one is. This was submitted 2 hours ago (at the moment), the other 1 hour ago. I've flagged the other one, though.
- tspiteri 16y agoAnd when the time appears the same (both at 2 hours at the moment), there is always the item number, 1493907 for this submission and 1493937 for the duplicate.
- smokinn 16y agoThat would make for a good feature request. On the right of flag we could add "merge with" and take a news.yc url and if enough people submitted the same url a mod could merge all the comments into the old story.
- joshfinnie 16y agoI have been thinking of this for some time. A "merge with" would be great to help the clutter and then the good conversations that happen would not be lost once one is closed.
