Indeed, a very clickbait title. There should be rules here to discourage such titles. Thanks!

- sillysaurus3 11y agoIt's actually the opposite: the rule is that the owner of the article also owns the title. Quite a lovely rule that you wouldn't want to change in 9 cases of 10.
- LeoNatan25 11y agoFor clickbait, I'd make an evil overlord exception. I'm kidding of course, just sharing my frustration with clickbait.
- fpgaminer 11y agoThis is the exact rule: > Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait.
- sillysaurus3 11y agoServes me right. Thanks for the correction.
- reitanqild 11y agoAnd this is one of the reasons I like HN, - a place where a significant (I think) part of the audience can actually admit when they were wrong.
- dang 11y agoIndeed there are. Please read them: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. But why is this a clickbait title? The article is lightweight, but I don't see what's baity about the title.
