Oddly this exact same URL was posted 2 days ago. I wonder why it didn't get caught? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14196680

I've had this happen multiple times. Usually it's because it's missing the "/" at the end or some other small change in the URL. Their check is only looking for exact matches.

I'm glad the dupe check isn't better, as it is undeniable that reaching the front page here is about luck just as much as quality.

This story is just as interesting as when it was first submitted, yet this submission is way more popular.

Well, that post got no comments. So this could just be a resubmission.
