There are no new developments, just more news outlets using (subjectively) bad interpretations of existing ideas/data.
Look at a site like http://www.memeorandum.com http://www.memeorandum.com -- for any one news story, a dozen news outlets report on it (discussion section of links).
That's what's going on here: a new outlet decides to report on the same information that someone already scooped and we already discussed, and then we start the dog and pony show up here again and repeat all of our discussions with the same information we had 3 days ago, and 5 days ago, etc, when the other articles came out.
We had some brilliant people make some brilliant comments last time around, will we achieve that quality on the repeat post? Is it worthwhile to redo the effort?
- roc 13y ago> " Is it worthwhile to redo the effort?" Last time around certainly wasn't the first time around for this issue. So if HN was in the habit of retiring subjects, there wouldn't have been any of those brilliant comments you referred to. And yet you're going to use those comments to argue for the retirement of the subject?
