That’s fair, how would you concisely convey that in an HN article title?
Edit: my only point is that it’s incredibly difficult to post articles on HN without title modification criticism. I don’t disagree with your semantic point, but how do you post that article within the HN character limit while simultaneously conveying your point?
- philwelch 6y ago“Bill introduced to...” Which really gets back to dang’s point, which is basically, “so what?”. Bills get introduced all the time and most of them don’t go anywhere.
- save_ferris 6y ago> “Bill introduced to” That’s great, but how do you fit that into the original title? I encourage you to try it as an exercise, that title was incredibly hard to fit within HN’s requirements. Your suggestion adds over a dozen characters over “Congress”. Seriously, it’s not easy to edit these titles sometimes. > “so what?” Well, if a bill isn’t worth discussing until after it becomes law, then how do bills like SOPA or any other recent and unpopular bills get stopped? If you don’t talk about it beforehand, how is discussing the bill after passage more effective?
