That was three years ago. The page has plenty of new information. Perhaps there should be a statute of limitations on the dupe check.


There is. It isn't an official policy, but dupe check only compares to values in some cache somewhere. Duplicate articles are FINE on HN, given that after a time period the ability to comment is removed from an article (unless of course, the suggestion is that there is nothing valuable to discuss about something n days after a conversation starts, ever).
