Second chance pool. This post is, per your submission history, from 2 days ago. HN has a second chance pool that lets articles continue collecting upvotes (more easily than digging through the full history). Some of those articles will get their timestamp updated to artificially inflate their ranking. This brings them to the front page again and gives them their "second chance". After a few hours or whatever time, the timestamp is reverted and they'll start falling back into their natural place in the rankings.
