What a terribly titled article. Per arbuge's comment, this has nothing to do with the IoT.
But more egregiously...AWS recently announced their own IoT platform. https://aws.amazon.com/iot/ https://aws.amazon.com/iot/
To title an article that just talks about the Amazon store's purposely excluding certain products as in any way relating to IoT in light of that is just...I am dumbfounded that an alleged tech site could be so misleading.
- dang 11y agoThe best way to complain about a bad title on HN is to suggest a better one, so we can fix it for everybody. It isn't always obvious what a better title would be, and we can't read all the articles—often we can't read any of the articles.
- DrScump 11y agoI think he was complaining about ZDNet's choice of article title; the OP here just duplicated it.
- allenbrunson 11y agothat is completely immaterial to dang's comment, which still stands: if the user had suggested a better title, instead of complaining about the current title, dang would have simply changed the title to the better one, here on hacker news, for this community's benefit.
- DrScump 11y agoYes, but what is the preferred mechanism: comment accordingly, or flag, or both?
- dang 11y agoThe HN guidelines ask submitters not to use the original title when it is misleading or linkbait, which this title arguably was, so the user who complained had a legit point. But it makes things easier when the complaint comes with a suggestion for an accurate, neutral title.
