Title change by mods
--
I submitted this post as "Googlers used BigQuery and GitHub to patch thousands of vulnerable projects". After it got to #1 on the front page, mods silently changed the title to "Operation Rosehub – patching thousands of open-source projects"
I wish HN had a more transparent way to show that the mods changed a title and why. Since HN does not, the least I can do is add this info for transparency.

- mikekchar 10y agoI got a bit confused by your post. I gather that you are simply recording the fact that the title was changed in accordance with the posting guidelines, not that you are complaining about it. Just in case other people were similarly confused...
- ec109685 10y agoI think he wishes that here was an "edited" annotation next to changed titles.
- rak00n 10y agoIMHO the title coming from mods sounds better. Your title seemed like you're explicitly advertising for BigQuery.
