[OT/Ask HN] Is there something wrong with the check for duplicates?
I sent the same post about 25mins after [1] (clearly, I didn't see this one) and I was able to post it. Just reporting the issue.

- dang 12y agoThe urls were slightly different. The duplicate detector is porous in this way by design, to allow good stories multiple cracks at the bat. We do intend to replace it with something more sophisticated, but in the meantime a small number of reposts is ok.
