How come that this article became featured twice at HN? I am just curious, should I recognize the author? Is that a well known blog or something?

Matt Bruening is a relatively popular left-wing analyst and founder of a think tank. He's popular enough to have a wikipedia article, at least: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Bruenig

I think it was posted twice and the old one merged into this one. I posted on this article yesterday or the day before, yet my top level comment says “two hours ago” at the time of writing this.

We had put the first submission (the current one - 28596178) in the second-chance pool (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308). It was sitting there waiting to get lobbed randomly onto the front page when the later submission (28603398) coincidentally became a big thread. After that, the original submission still got lobbed onto the front page.

We should fix the code to handle sort of case, but it's pretty rare.
