Still not completely decoupled from host roles, but seems to work for some folks. =3

However, you are right. Your bandwidth needs don't really require Lustre.

Something like this [1] gets you 44 disks in 4u. You can probably fit 9 of those and a server with enough HBAs to interface with it in a 42U rack. 9x44x20TB = not quite 8 PB. Adjust for redundancy and/or larger drives. If you go with SAS drives, you can have two servers connected to the drives, with failover. Or you can setup two of these racks in different locations and mirror the data (somehow).

Agreed, more or less, this would be easy to work around naively. Though an duplicate detection should not block reposts based on removing the anchor nor should the anchor portion automatically be removed generally. Some sites unnecessarily setup as SPAs use the anchor portion for context so it is needed for direct links to the right article in those¹, and going directly to a specific section in a long page can also be useful.

> nice karma trick posting the URL with the anchor to bypass the HN duplicates detector.

Karma jealously is as unbecoming as karma whoring, so perhaps wind the ol' neck in a little there. Laziness/ineptitude is more common than malice and this could have been accidental via quick copy+paste.

A better way to respond in this situation is a more neutral “Already recently discussed at [link]”, as had been done some hours before your comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45646691#45647047

[1] Yes, those sites are badly designed, but they are unlikely to change because of our technical preferences and breaking the ability to deep link into them would add an issue for HN while not being noticed by those sites at all.

I think being able to identify what's worthy of reposting deserves upvotes, too. If a repost truly provided little to no value, then the number of upvotes would reflect that and it would never get to the front page. But in this case, many people and myself included would have never found the post if it weren't for this repost.

Different batches of users are on HN at different times and on different days. Allowing reposts to collect karma would mean that every link's exposure is derived from the entire HN userbase's votes rather than a small subset of the users that happened to be online at the time of the post.
