The submission title is edited in a questionable way. Specially that the original one is not clickbait and does fit in the title letters limit.
There is a world of difference between " These Physicists Want to Ditch Dark Energy " and " Physicists Want to Ditch Dark Energy". One is about new model from some physicists and the other implying a conciseness around ditching dark energy.
edit: I didn't know that there is automatic re-write rules for HN. However the fact that the edited title is clickbait now regardless the reason. Just clarifying in case of this is considered an attack on the submitter.
- Tomte 2y agoIt‘ almost certainly Hacker News‘ automatic title rewriting, and not the submitter‘s fault. A missing word at the start is a sure sign.
- elashri 2y agoThat's interesting, I didn't know before that there are re-write rules applied. It seems that this at least a case of when this failed.
