The Times is a UK newspaper with a British audience. I agree the HN title is disingenuous though.

- barbazoo 2y agoYup, just didn’t want people outside the Uk to get hopeful at all :)
- asplake 2y agoI wouldn’t call it disingenuous. It’s the published title (i.e. not editorialised for HN) and accurate enough for its intended audience.

- donnachangstein 2y agoOpting for a .com domain vs a .co.uk doesn't help. Especially with a lot of UK papers printing "US editions" now - even the goddamn BBC redirects me to a "US news" site when I attempt to access BBC News. If I wanted US-centric news the BBC is probably the last place I'd check but I guess clicks and ad revenue reign supreme.
