This story hasn't been submitted before. It was ranked #1 for a little while, and promptly was demoted to non-front page. This happens a lot, most people just miss it/forget about it.
Okay, thanks for the proof! I should mention that in most cases the story seems to not have persisted in the top, even though it's a story that likely many HN users would want to discuss.
I wish you hadn't escalated this to usage of profanities, but it's all good.

It has had repeated submissions, and one previous submission has over 60 comments. It's probably being flagged as a dupe.
EDIT: Also, NYT has a paywall and some people auto-flag any NYT submission.
