hashes of what, though? Without accessing the content, the URL is essentially the only thing to go on. Plus having the same post make it to the front page pretty much means the system is working exactly as intended: content that HN users are interested in makes it to the widest audience (not everyone checks HN multiple times a day =)
- scubbo 6y agoTHANK YOU. I have never understood why folks on Reddit, etc. are so vehemently opposed to reposts. If people are upvoting it, that means they like it. If they like it, that means either a) it's new to them, or b) they enjoy seeing it again.
- justusthane 6y agoFor what it's worth, my comment wasn't meant as a complaint that it was posted again. I just wanted to make sure that folks saw the previous submission, since that one has comments by the Matrix lead.
- scubbo 6y agoUnderstood, and I (for one) interpreted your comment as you intended it (and - thank you for providing that context!).
