Well, I think it was killed because there was another earlier submission already on HN frontpage with more upvotes: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=557953

- rdl 13y agoYeah, I'm pretty sure it was 2 submissions with /q/ vs /questions/ as the only difference. I wish there were a way to merge comments on the two posts.
- jcr 13y agoYep, it seems the lenient dupe detector is the culprit (and it also seems my tin foil hat is on a wee bit too tight). Anyhow, I'm still curious if HN has gotten any DMCA notices?
- dfc 13y agoI think I grabbed the link from share and rdl grabbed the url from the location bar. When I noticed the dupe I considered deleting the post but that did not seem like the right thing to do because its not my place to remove other peoples comments.
- rdl 13y agoYeah, I felt bad because you had better comments, so I was considering deleting mine too, but I'm trying to hit #63 on karma...
- dfc 13y agoPersonally I think karma should be based on comments only. I have bookmark's for agl, rdl, tptacek, etc's comments, not submissions. If it is any consolation there are a few people ahead of you on the list that are essentially link spammers. Anyone can submit links all day and accumulate karma. That someone was first to file a story does not signal a lot of information in my opinion. Keep up the good comments and I am sure that you will continue to move up the list.
