Could someone with permission to do so please fix the title? It either needs the question mark removed, or to be written as a question (e.g. "Why Does It Take So Long…")
- jonsen 10y agoOnly the paper authors can fix their PDF, I guess.
- jbg_ 10y agoIs there some policy on HN that the title of the submission always matches the title of the thing that is linked to? I'm sure I've seen situations where it doesn't.
- Spare_account 10y agoThe verbatim title is preferred: "... please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- pbhjpbhj 10y agoThough it's more like the verbatim title is preferred except when it isn't and there's a good chance an editor will change it to the verbatim title, or something worse, or maybe better and an equally good chance people will complain and it'll be changed [back]. I've always said we should have the verbatim title and an editorialised one and let people choose in config which one[s] they want. Current system mostly works though.
