Is it really that hard to refer to something by its name instead of a vague non-descriptor?
"The Extremely Large Telescope rises as the Giant Magellan and Thirty Meter Telescopes await further funding."
There, a headline that explains WTF the article is about so I can properly judge if reading the article proper is worth my time or interest.
It's also reasonable to assume prospective readers will have some baseline knowledge about the subject matter because this is Science with a capital S and Hacker News we're talking about.
>Idk. You keep using that three letter abreviation of a swear. Is that also very emotionally charged in your usage? Because to me it seems you are very angry over what to me appears a mild editorial disagreement.
My time only grows more valuable as I age, so yes I am quite angry that "journalism" is mostly worthless clickbait vying to waste my time these days.
