Should all submissions involving mice state that fact in the HN title?
I say yes, if only to eliminate the predictable "in mice" comments
I could do without the incessant hall monitoring in every thread explaining why the title is clickbait or the article isn't substantive enough or that it was published last year.
I'm an adult, I can decide what I think about a submission. We're smart people who need to understand that it's on each of us to have the skills to figure out cancer wasn't just cured in humans overnight, we don't need the nuance of every article explained to us.
So should this title
Disney backs down from 'Steamboat Willie' YouTube copyright claim
be changed to
Disney backs down from 'Steamboat Willie' YouTube copyright claim (in mice)
?
Maybe titles should be just reverse domain names ala Usenet:
health.cancer.cure.mice
energy.solar.breakthrough.25%
space.mars.water.found
I understand all of the words in the post and yet I comprehend nothing about it.
Yes, 100% agreement, for that reason.
Along the same lines, security vulnerability links should have "Windows" or "Linux" or "iOS" or whatever, for the same reason.
No, just follow the guidelines to use the original title, and downvote the "in mice" comments as they are shallow comments that don't add value.
There is limited space in the title and the primary guideline is to use the same title from the other side of the link
"No, Pinky, this will complicate my plans for tomorrow night."
