I thought having two submissions of the same URL wasn't possible.
(Not that the article doesn't deserve it; it is well worth reading.)
- neogodless 4y agoI believe there's a time limit - something like 12 hours, after which it becomes a new submission (possibly with some logic around an ongoing level of activity on the first).
- philliphaydon 4y agoI think it depends. I submitted a link last night and it pulled up a 9 day old Share.
- akolbe 4y agoJust saw another duplicate: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32793755 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32793755 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32800972 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32800972 (the latter one got flagged and yanked)
- dang 4y agoI'm not sure I understand that but if an article has already had significant attention on HN, the dupe detector will redirect to it. After a year or so this behavior goes away, so the system is open to a repost.
- philliphaydon 4y agoIt was a post about a database, I can't remember what the URL was, but it wasn't 'significant' but enough that it got it to the front page I believe.
- dang 4y agoThat's correct. IIRC it's 8 hours.
