The [sic] is in the original title on the /. submission, it was the author to use it. I think he meant "you read right, blankets".

- smackfu 14y agoThe problem with quoting text that has a [sic] is a fun one.
- atuttle 14y agoJust attach another "[sic]" and you are good.
- kens 14y agoI researched this last time the topic came up on HN. Based on some investigation in Google Books, what books actually do when quoting text containing [sic] is use a footnote: "blah blah [sic] blah"¹ ¹[sic] in original. (And keep in mind that [sic] is not shorthand for "ha ha you're stupid" even though that's how it usually gets used on the Internet.)
- chris_wot 14y agoSo in other words, on HN the title should be "Google is sending out blankets [sic] [sic] to open-source developers"
