'dang didn't flag it: he posted related past articles, which he often does (such as here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36278663 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36278663). If he had intended to call it out as a [dupe] he would have explicitly done so.
- IndySun 3y agoYes, I've seen the [dupe] flag. However you may understand the confusion caused as the article Dang has posted is not 'related', it is the same article, i.e. a dupe. So perhaps the question now arises as to why it was posted 'without' [dupe], yes?
- grzm 3y agoAlthough it's the same article, it's a related in the sense that the discussion happened in the past. A submission is not considered a dupe if it's been over a year since last submitted.
- IndySun 3y agoSo Dang was re-posting the over-year-old same article as a way of contributing to this same parent article? And though the original article is technically old, and had just two comments, it is considered a related/of interest post. Have I understood?
