I have noticed a trend with Ars posting original articles with a lot of similarities to content from smaller sources that came out a few days earlier. Its pretty common to see a rather esoteric topic make it to the front page of HN and then a similar article showing up on Ars a bit later. I assume their authors are mining HN and similar places for ideas. Not saying that happened here or that it is ever plagiarism. Just something I noticed as a daily Ars and HN reader.
