These Wired click-bait headlines are terrible.
- dang 12y agoThey certainly are. Can anyone suggest a better one here? We want accurate and neutral.

- dang 12y agoGood suggestion. We changed it. Thanks!
- michael_nielsen 12y agoCould submissions from Wired (& other sites which practice link-baity titles) be automatically put in a moderation queue? They wouldn't appear in the "New" queue until the title had been reviewed by a moderator, and fixed if appropriate. That sort of fix seems to be necessary a large fraction of the time. Regularly having such titles on the front page is a small but real hit to HN's quality.
- dang 12y agoThere actually is a status like that, sort of. But Wired isn't currently in that bucket. We may have to put it in there; their titles have gotten noticeably (to me) more sensational lately.
- ttctciyf 12y agoThe section title: “Google is not really a search company. It’s a machine-learning company.” might be better, but ... meh, title fussiness. Anyway, it's an ad company!
- mseebach 12y ago> Anyway, it's an ad company! Can this meme die soon? Google is an ad company in the same way the New York Times is an ad company. Sure, that's ultimately where the money comes from, but there'd be no ad revenue if search, maps, mail etc weren't all among the very best available and that's a very real and very big engineering problem. Just like if the NYT stopped during journalism, their ads would stop generating revenue.
