There's a lot of randomness in what gets attention on /newest. Your submission didn't get attention while this one did.

HN disallows reposts within 8 hours or if a story has had significant attention in the last year, but neither of those were the case with this repost, so our software allowed it to go through.

I know it's frustrating when your submission 'loses' and someone else's 'wins', but since it's random, it at least evens out in the long run if you submit lots of good stories. Eventually we'll implement some sort of karma sharing to take care of this.
