  Curious - is your conclusion based on the id? (Are those sequential?) I assumed this one was more recent based on the timestamp that shows on the items. Currently, I see "4 hours ago" for this item, and "5 hours ago" for the link I submitted. But maybe there's more to it than that?

    Huh. I see what you mean! It was based on when it showed up in my (supposedly only sorted by time) viewer, but yours definitely appears before the other if you go through the official “New” submissions list.

    IDs are sequential and immutable. Timestamps can shift around as part of the re-upping process described at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19774614 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19774614. But I don't think that happened with either of these submissions.
