On a site with "News" in its name, you'd expect articles to be at least somewhat timely. Otherwise, we could all just start posting random wikipedia articles or other things we happen to have just discovered ourselves, regardless of whether they already made the rounds months or years ago.
This was a great article - I read it when it came out - three years ago. Unless there's an update, it's worth noting that this is a three-year-old post.

You read it when it came out, but keep in mind that not everyone is exposed to the same content, due to any number of reasons. The site is designed to allow its users to control the visibility of posts - if its interesting to others and you've read it, skip over it.
Yes, but the site has significant flaws when it comes to handling old content regurgitated on other sites. Which is why it's relevant to point out how old a post is - because the site itself doesn't.
It's simply not detected because it's in a different publication on a different URL. If the dupe system was more "effective" it wouldn't even show up, as it's exactly the kind of repost that is intended to catch.
