That's a post from September 1st 2014. Any particular reason to (re)post this today?

  Because some of us may not have seen it yet? Can we please stop with the posts in every thread being pedants about article age without any useful comment of their own. It's been getting noticably worse into the last few months.

    I'd rather not see these kind of posts stop. Frequently, there's a good reason to post an older article on a particular day, and calling it out helps bring out the new modern context. Otherwise, reminding readers that a submission happened in a different environment from today is worth while on its own.

      Then the author should leave a comment explaining the significance of the day...otherwise, these posts tend to just clutter things up.

        Or HN could just have comment folding baked in. There's more than one way to solve this problem :^)

    Just adding '(2014)' should be good enough for everyone, I think.
