Yup, but reposts are fine when an item hasn&#x27;t had significant attention yet (see <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;newsfaq.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;newsfaq.html</a>). That helps offset the random churn of &#x2F;newest, which otherwise causes many good stories to fall through the cracks.<p>Indeed, we invited vmorgulis to repost this one, which we sometimes do when a good submission didn&#x27;t get much attention the first time. I&#x27;ve written about this at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=9866140" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=9866140</a> and
