Why does this say it's been posted 8 hours ago but on hn.algolia.com is archived...

This is a regular HN feature where admins resurrect old posts that did not get the attention they maybe deserved.

... and the resurrection falsly associates the timestamp of the admin's action with the originator's posting. Needs attention.

I'm pretty sure that's intentional because the timestamp used to calculate where the article shows up on the front page.

My greater faith in the integrity of the admins tells me they do not intend this false association. Its a misrep that can seriously mislead.

They intend it. It was explained by dang at some point

I will look out for that.
