I've complained about changing titles in the past, but here's a case where the submitted title ("Absolute Zero") doesn't hold a candle to the original title:
ABSOLUTE ZERO IS 0K
Much, much better. 0K?
- MichaelApproved 12y agoI agree. I didn't pay attention to the title until I read your comment and missed this great subtly. For those that missed it, the title uses zero for the letter "O" in OK/0K. As in "zero Kelvin."
- pbhjpbhj 12y agoPunnery and funny titles are probably contrary to HN ethos? In any case the thrust of the article appears to be the race to be the first to produce liquid helium; that could easily have been incorporated if the HN editor wanted to make the title better. Personally I'd favour an editorial subtitle for cases where the HN editors deem the title to be less useful.
