That earlier submission generated no discussion, so resubmitting it seems OK. It's not likely that people will notice a 7 hour old article that has only 3 upvotes (you'd have to scroll through a lot of new articles to see it), so that original submission probably isn't going to get any more attention.
- WalterGR 6y agoI defer to Dang’s judgment. IMO, posting a provocative story every 7 hours seems... untoward. While this article hasn’t been posted every 7 hours, I’ve seen others.
- greenyoda 6y agoI based my opinion on this entry in the HN FAQ: > Are reposts ok? > If a story has not had significant attention in the last year or so, a small number of reposts is ok. A story that has three upvotes and no comments hasn't had significant attention in the last year. And one repost is a small number. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html
- WalterGR 6y agoRight, but it doesn't address time between reposts. Anyway, it's not a big deal. Anti-China sentiment is hot right now. I don't have a horse in the fight but I am surprised by the number of such stories that reach the front page. It's entirely possible that my "there's mischief afoot" trigger is consequently too sensitive.
