- detaro 7y agoIt wasn't (see the smaller ID), but likely was boosted to give the story the same ranking, which changes the displayed timestamp.
- dang 7y agoYou got it. For more about the timestamp thing see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11662380 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11662380 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19774614 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19774614. It does lead to occasional confusion, but we haven't figured out a better way to do it.
