Im glad it got posted again, it's news to me. Sadly my life includes things other than browsing HN for the latest headline, so I occasionally miss news.

that's fine if you miss it, you see this one, and the discussion is over there.

  I appreciate the motivation of consolidating comments on a story. But... no the discussion isn't over there. There's only 4 comments on that submission, and none of them are about the new ruling. What are you talking about? And from your other comment: > wanna keep it on the front page? keep upvoting the first post of it. Either way, we don't need ten threads of discussion. That post already died, it takes a new one to be on the front page now. The post we're on is the only current discussion, and it's the only one on or near the front page.

    why does he even care so much anyway? he's all over this thread like he's losing ad money on the other one or something. It's also incredibly a-few-different-unflattering-words to attempt to declare where a conversation is happening. The conversation is wherever it is, and doesn't care where you think it is or wish it is.

      I care because it's becoming a bigger problem on here seeing the same stories posted over and over and over and discussion split into many threads, days apart etc. People serially submitting dupes like they're fresh news. It doesn't help the discussion and it doesn't help the experience on the site.

    Sorry it seems that arstechnica updated their article without any notice at the top to link the bloomberg piece etc. So it looked like it was 5 days old news. Damnit. The point stands when submitting dupes, direct the discussion to the ongoing threads.

      But even if it had been the same news, it was 4 comments multiple days ago. That's not an ongoing thread.
