Given that this was last talked about 50 days ago, and I have seen things explicitly reposted that stayed up. What is the guideline on when things become dupes?

- dang 8y agoThis is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html. On HN a story counts as a dupe if it has had significant attention in the last year or so. If it hasn't, a small number of reposts is ok.
