Yesterday's identical post:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40994901

With only three comments, that doesn't count as "significant discussion", which means that today's re-posting is not a dupe by HN standards:

See "Are reposts ok?": <https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html>

Recent-ish dang comment clarifying further: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37484775>

Not sure pointing out another discussion is a problem. If I were to criticise the post it would be to say is it an HN topic? Might be more suitable on a music discussion.

It's not a problem, nominally, but it is a problem if this leads others to believe that the submission does meet dupelicate criteria.

If I note prior submissions (often because I'd seen the earlier submission in the "New" queue, I'll specifically note whether or not it's a dupe.
