Sometimes the HN algorithm baffles me. This article has already be submitted by the same person, a couple of days ago. I even asked a question there.
How is it that the comments there are not included here, given the same link? Or is it not the same link?!

- buiducnha 9y agoHi, I submitted again because at that time I did not know and did not post with Prefix "Show HN:". Maybe that's reason?
- kensai 9y agoIf the link was the same, shouldn't you get a warning that this was already submitted? If I submit something that has already been submitted, HN automatically give a point to the previous submission. Which is the way I expect it to work to avoid double submission and parallel discussions. The thing is: I have not quite understood why sometimes it works and others not.
