Ok, since that's the original source, we've switched the thread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16871054 to this one, which was posted earlier. Thanks!

Why not just change the URL? That one had over 200 upvotes, this one will probably just fade off the front page in a few hours.

This way is fairer to the original submitter, and it's a big enough story that it's unlikely to suffer in terms of rank or time on the front page.

I’m ok with this, the new article is unquestionably a better source.

First time I have seen that happen. The comment posting timing has been reset unfortunately.
