This is not actually a dupe. It will, doubtless, get flagged to death momentarily. Correct the record :-)
Right if this is a dupe I can't seem to find it's partner anywhere. So why was it marked dupe?

UPDATE: As far as I can tell the linked article was published between 9 and 10 this morning, although I am not sure of the time zone. So I went back 5 hours from this HN post and news.ycombinator/newest and read every single headline posted to HN. By my math, this should have turned up the "dupe" if there were one. There is not.

So there are 3 possibilities here, right? Either I've made a logical mistake above, or someone marked this thread as a dupe by mistake -- which seems like a very strange mistake to make -- or the thread was intentionally mislabeled as a dupe.

Since the issue has been raised, I would suggest that HN mods demonstrate there is no dishonesty going on here by either correcting the [dupe] tag, or producing a link to the duplicated post, or otherwise explaining a mistake on my part.
