The original title did not use the word "practical," which this manifestly isn't.

- dang 10y agoYes, the submitted title ("A practical jetpack is just around the corner") was rewritten, which violates the HN guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. Submitters: the rule on HN is not to rewrite a title unless it is misleading or linkbait. If a subtitle is more informative, it's ok to use that. (We've done so here, because the title is a question and we all know what that triggers.)
