Not sure I agree with the dupe-flag. The other post was about the Saudi deal and then got changed. So the discussion there is fragmented.

- dang 8y agoYou're right that it's not a precise dupe, but the topics are almost identical and we shouldn't have two of these on the front page at the same time. So we have to decide which one. The other article is more substantive, since it's based on at least some facts, and the thread is correspondingly better. This one, by contrast, is really just an announcement of a possible future announcement. So it seems clear the first URL should win. If and when they actually take steps to go private, there will certainly be much discussion on HN.
- maaaats 8y agoThat's fair. Thanks for explaining.
