Weird. This has more upvotes than the other one though.

The other one was earlier. We downweighted it for a while but that seems to have been a mistake.

Edit: turns out it was just that there were two different threads on the frontpage about this story and a moderator downweighted the earlier one. That's standard moderation. Usually we merge the threads (and I've since done so) but I wasn't online yet.

Not weird, it's just more difficult to discuss and understand when it happens. It's perfectly normal seeming.
