I think this submission title should be modified to:
> Palantir’s accelerated security clearance plan for students
This addresses several issues with the headline as presented:
- It’s capitalized appropriately for HN.
- It clearly states that this is about students only, reducing the scope of the effort from the unstated framing: “all workers”.
- It reflects the single-company focus of Palantir in the article, improving HN submission search results for that company.
- It reuses the exact wording of the most key heading in the article with only two words added: “for students”.
- tedmiston 2y agoYeah, this is a much more accurate title than Security Clearances at the Speed of Startups. I think you need to email dang <hn@ycombinator.com> to see if he'll agree to update.
- dang 2y agoOk, let's give that a try. Thanks!
- AlchemistCamp 2y agoThe original title’s capitalization was correct. In fact, AP, Chicago and Wikipedia styles all suggest exactly the capitalization the author used.
- altairprime 2y agoAP capitalization style is not HN capitalization style. For example, HN mods will turn NASA into Nasa, which is anathema to AP style (and to me). You could email them if you have questions about it, as I’m not a mod, just a user.
- AlchemistCamp 2y agoI suspect that would be a waste of time for me to email them, but thanks for sharing.
