Comments moved to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40560010 because I felt bad about albinowax_ posting this first and not getting any karma for it.

xrayarx, I hope you don't mind! It's on my list to implement proper karma sharing for cases like this. In the meantime we sometimes resort to the crude manual approach.

Well according to your system, I posted this 13 hours ago, he posted it 10 hours ago. So I can’t quite follow how he posted it first?

When we re-up a post, which I did with https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40560010, you see a relativized timestamp on the front page and on the /item page (i.e. the thread). See https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... for explanations of why.

The original timestamp is displayed on all other pages, so you can see e.g. from https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=samcurry.net that albinowax_ submitted the article first; and of course the item IDs are sequential so that's another way to compare the two.
