Meta: what is the time between the same URLs being considered unique posts on HN now? I think it was 24 hours back in the old days, but seems to be somewhat less now as the post's author submitted it only 9 hours ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25224627 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25224627 :-)
- OJFord 6y agoAs I understand it, it depends on traction. That one got only 9 points; I don't know what the bar is, but I think resubmissions get another shot if it's not met. (And if it's really soon after, submitting a duplicate just redirects you to the extant submission and upvotes it for you.)
