  HN lets reposts through if the story hasn't had significant attention yet. This is to give good submissions multiple chances at getting attention.

I know it sucks when your submission was earlier and gets overlooked! We should eventually have some sort of karma-sharing to take care of this. In the meantime, it at least evens out in the long run, since the reason is randomness. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=by%3Adang%20karma%20sharing&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
