The title used to say "The Founder: how the creator of TrueCrypt became a criminal masterming". I just fixed the typo to "mastermind". Thanks @bryanrasmussen !

Edit: It has now been updated by the mods to its current title. It went through "The Founder", "The Founder: Interview with Evan Ratliff, author of The Mastermind", and "Inverview with Evan Ratliff, author of The Mastermind", and probably manually demoted from the #1 spot.
I understand the rules of non-editorialization of titles (unless you're the article author, the you can click-bait as you wish), but it seems even the mods understand the need to provide context.
- bryanrasmussen 8y agohope my pointing out the typo wasn't the cause of the cascade of renaming.
- Aissen 8y agoNot at all, don't sweat it. The HN rules explicitely say "don't editorialize": https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- andai 8y agoDespite the rules, the current title is completely meaningless to me. How many people here have heard of TrueCrypt, vs The Mastermind? I only clicked because of your editoralization, and I'm very glad I did!
