That is unkind - just because you have read about Haiku before, does not mean everyone else has. Filter bubble much?

  Let's not pretend there is a different incentive to submit a URL that has not changed in the last 365 days other than karma points. Though I certainly appreciate being reminded of excellent projects, this submission feels way too automatic.

    I've enjoyed the discussion above, so I think it was a worthy submission. I guess I don't really understand why people are bothered by someone getting those priceless karma points even if it is a repost.

      I think most people don't care about karma farmers, but I think you'll agree that karma farmers' submissions often increase the noise rather than the signal.

        What's noise for you is signal for someone else and vice versa, isn't that why it's a hard problem to solve?

  Do we draw a line? Is there a knowledge baseline expected on HN, or would a submission of the Wikipedia article on bubble sort be fair game? I mean, I've seen links to two generals' problem on Wikipedia getting voted up.

    I just remind myself when I see something that I already know that it's completely new to ten thousand other people. Relevant xkcd, as usual :) http://xkcd.com/1053/ http://xkcd.com/1053/
