a major difference here is that 2 months ago this edition was not available. That doesn't change the kind of discussion that takes place which is why it's usually the pre-announcements that get downweighted. Without this post, I, for one, would not have known that I could go online now to read it Sure but that is at best, a tertiary purpose of HN. Something is always new to someone, relevant to someone, etc. The dupiness or most other on-topic-ness criteria can't really work on that basis.
