This is a good example of the stupidity of the normal rules that Hacker News enforces about article titles. I am glad they made an exception in this case. I never would have read this if the headline text had been "Prime Day 2017 – Powered by AWS". I did read the article, because in this case, Hacker News allowed the title to highlight what I would find interesting: the incredible performance of DynamoDB.
- dastbe 9y agoI don't think the rules actually say you can't edit titles. At best, they ask that you please use the original title unless misleading or linkbait. You could argue that the original title is misleading, because you would've thought that it was some advertisement (though isn't anything touting large numbers a form of advertising?).
