Those are two different stories. IMO, the second one is much preferable, as it's an actual story, instead of just a 50-or-so-word G+ and Twitter post. I don't see why it should be considered a duplicate, though I guess if users flagged it, most of them disagreed.
They aren't two different stories by the standards that normally apply on HN. They're about the same thing.
It's true that the SF Weekly article gave more background than the Google+ post, but it was linked in yesterday's thread and the information in it was discussed there.

The story was on the front page for many hours yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9163309.
It was reposted today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9165261. We would normally demote that as a duplicate, but we didn't. Users flagged it.
