HN's submission history must be turned off, if we are to judge from the deluge of dupes on this story

  Curious: how does one find dupes before submitting? I looked but didn't find one when I posted.

    It used to work sufficiently well at detecting them itself that sometimes I submitted links to interesting stories because it was the quickest way to find the existing story with comments, where it would immediately redirect you. At some point that stopped working it seems.

      The auto dupe detector only really works if it's the same URL which is not the case for the dupes of this one (4 discussion posts, 1 different news site link)
