Wow there are 9 duplicate stories on HN right now. Doesn't HN have a duplicate submission filter?

  That's what upvoting is for. Let the people decide what is most interesting.

    Why downvote my question? It's a valid attempt to understand how HN filters duplicate stories. The dupes are also representative of the Internet at large. When a large story breaks, tonnes of people rush out to be "the one" who broke it on their news site.
