  Maybe there should be a tool that shows or aggregates related discussions onto one page...

    I am not sure whether you are being sarcastic but there is, in a way. If HN detects that you are posting a duplicate, it just brings you to the previous story. It seems easily confused, though. Otherwise, if you have a doubt after posting a story, you can click on the website name next to the title to see other stories from the same website, which is another way of seeing duplicates. Of course, this is easier with websites that don’t get 20 stories a day.

      It's fairly hit-or-miss. I happened to see the story in the new queue, thought it sounded familiar, and checked on its age.

      I was being sincere. Sarcasm doesn't play well here, beyond even the standard problems of written communication. I thought maybe post deduplication "expires", and links are let through for discussion again x-weeks later. I also noticed dang posts these "previously discussed" links often, if not preempted by other users. I don't know whether to upvote or downvote those because it contributes to the convo but indirectly and with low-effort. Therefore I figure an automation might be worth the hassle.

        Clearly, the DonHopkins bot needs to tune its "dang robot" filter as that list turns up several false positives. (One of which is by the dang robot itself ;-) This comment has been a service of the dredmorbious bot, a/k/a Robby.

        Not a robot and definitely not a cop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBE9TZP26FI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBE9TZP26FI.

        Definitely not a cop. Probably just a stripper! ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Gp1qPsM6Os https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Gp1qPsM6Os

      It indeed does that, but only if the previous submission got significant attention. Otherwise we allow dupes through. This is on purpose, to give good submissions multiple chances at getting attention and mitigate the randomness of what gets liftoff from /newest.

  I wonder what caused so many people to link this 2013 article all of a sudden?

    There’s controversy currently regarding whether pinch-to-zoom alters images for a current ongoing court case. It’s borderline gaslighting at this point. I imagine it’s causing some people to do some extra deep digging while they try to reassure themselves that they do actually know a thing or two.

Thanks I'd missed that. Ony 6 comments, though numerous updoots. I usually consider < 10 comments minor. HN does permit reposts after a seemly interval.

I posted another one 2 days ago, vis a vis the Rittenhouse trial. I was in a rush but I wanted to post something demonstrating how the fidelity of digital tech can be misleading. In my post I just picked the first main stream media outlet (CBC in my post). today’s post is much better.
