  With only three comments, that doesn't count as "significant discussion", which means that today's re-posting is not a dupe by HN standards: See "Are reposts ok?": <https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html> Recent-ish dang comment clarifying further: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37484775 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37484775>

      It's not a problem, nominally, but it is a problem if this leads others to believe that the submission does meet dupelicate criteria. If I note prior submissions (often because I'd seen the earlier submission in the "New" queue, I'll specifically note whether or not it's a dupe.
