Why has this been allowed to be posted twice?

Of note: the previous submissions was 8 days ago and had significant discussion, which makes this blatant.

This one uses the rudig.co URL shortener. Shorteners are blocked on HN but I guess this one isn't on the blacklist (yet).

Yeah looks like the duplicate detection algorithm HN uses could do with a serious upgrade. After reading the post the first time I felt bad for the OP.

After seen he posted it twice deliberately trying to cover his tracks with a URL shortener I think he is a joke...
