I'm curious - did NYTimes amend the title of their article? I'm asking because the title of this post on HN doesn't correspond to the title on NYTimes and I was under the impression the submission guideline here says to use the 'original title'. In addition, I read the NYTimes article before I saw this posting on HN and while the NYTimes article questioned 3 items on his resume, I can't conclude his entire resume is fraudulent since the article neither contained the full resume nor did it list all the companies/schools on his resume.
- dang 10y agoIt looks to me like the submitter broke the HN guidelines by rewriting the title when it was neither misleading nor linkbait. (The submitted title was "WrkRiot CEO's entire resume fraudulent", and we've since changed it to the NYT headline.) Not 100% sure, though, because NYT has a habit of changing its headlines. Submitters: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait" is one of the site rules here. Please follow it, and especially please don't rewrite titles to make them more dramatic.
