https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48421442 when large account submit same content but different link, [dupe] doesn't seem to work right?

It's definitely not affected by which account submitted a link.

HN dupe detection is complicated though, and involves quite a bit of manual work, and that makes it inconsistent, since we don't see everything (and/or don't always have time to take care of it).

doesn't work, similar to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48277485

Yeah I know the source references him (replying to his comment), that's exactly why I'm giving credit where it's due

It’s important to draw it out explicitly- I didn’t even look at the commentators name until it was mentioned. (If I see pelicans …)

As explained in a child comment, this comment is a callout to other readers, rather than an actual reply to the parent comment. I know that’s been a thing for a long time, but is there a word for this type of comment?

Why?

We generally prefer the best third-party article to a corporate press release*.

That way people don't have to read things like "The world is full of makers. Only a few make the world." when they first click on an HN link.

I appreciate that. Noone needs to waste their potty reading time wondering why someone so maliciously and prolifically misspelled "wanker" in multiple different forms throughout a whole article like what happens when you read this article...

I don't quite follow this, but if you mean it wasn't the right call, we can certainly change it again. (And if you did mean it, sorry for my oversensitive sarcasm detector!)

It was me being obtuse because it made me laugh, lol. I was pretending they misspelled "wanker" as "maker" in the press release because wanker is a british slang term that is much more accurate than maker in this context. It was also a little of me bending my understanding of the rules here to post it because it made me laugh to do so, although I probably should have kept it to myself to save everyone else's time who will read it and feel it wasted their time.

go ahead
