Link stolen from calvin on lobste.rs. <https://lobste.rs/s/2dc0gb/cipher_behind_qsyrupwd_reconstruc...>

  • VorpalWay

    That seems a bit harsh, we dont know if both posters discovered this article independently.

      I think we can assume the HN poster is well aware of where they first saw this submission link.

      • VorpalWay

        Even if they did (and I dont see any evidence either way), lobsters is an entirely different site (that also requires invites, excluding the majority of users from commenting).

        Since the other person decided to not post it on HN I dont see the harm in someone else reposting it here. Likewise if someone discovers something neat via HN they might repost it on, say, reddit (or vice versa).

          Uhhh, by any chance have you looked at the user name that submitted this and the user name that made the comment you replied to?

            Did I wander into Reddit for a moment?

            We can do Reddit on HN if we want -- hell I'm jonesing for it, I bristle at restrictions on my literary tone... but obsessing over who "stole" a link seems juvenile.

            Links were made to be shared :-)

            • defrost

              Indeed.

              • firefax

                Just to clarify, do you "indeed" that links can't be stolen, or do you "indeed" the idea that we should all just adopt the ironic detached tone of the dirtbag left to discuss Current Events?

                (Or, as always: why not both?)

          • VorpalWay

            Oops I missed that indeed. Too early in the morning, my bad.
