why did the word secret get removed from the title of my post? I just re-worded the title of the linked article.

Is Hacker News censoring stories now, for no good reason?




We try to undo most of the misleading tricks lower-end journalists use to tart up headlines. In fact, "Exclusive" and "Breaking" get trimmed off automatically.


I would hardly call Valleywag a lower-end publication. I mean they have at least 3 stories about bay area escort services on the front page today. ;)


That's how they power their back ends



Ah ha! Thanks for the link.


they've been changing titles for quite some time when they believe its necessary, almost since the beggining
