Thanks; burying as dupe.


I submitted this story. Honestly I submitted to hn because after stumbling on the site I thought I had seen it on hn before, so I figured submitting was the fastest way to find discussion. Is there a reason that the submission didn't get flagged from the get go?


The duplicate detector is deliberately left weak so that good stories get more than one crack at the bat. But if a story has had a significant discussion within the last year, then we bury it as a dupe. The best thing to do is check HN Search to see if this is the case.


The URLs are very similar, but not identical.
