What's with this recent rise of people being angry about titles on HN? I don't recall it being so strong in years gone by.

  Well I read the article thinking that there might be some exciting new crypto news and then bam! "Update 2001 August 13".

    But still, why angry?

  It's all about context, in a temporal sense, which I think is important when discussing certain subjects. I don't think GP comes across as "angry", the article title quite rightly should have [2001] tacked on the end.

    "Ire" is a synonym for "anger." GP (GGP?) literally said that it made them angry.

      I meant written with uncontrollable anger, rather stating in a calm and coherent manner what they're angry about.
