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?
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.
