NB: Hacker News guidelines specifically permit (and encourage) un-clickbaiting headlines. Submitters can do so (I almost always leave a note about how I've edited a title if I do so).

Readers can also email the mods at hn@ycombinator.com to both report and suggest alternatives to overly-clickbaity headlines. I'd done so in this case.

My suggested headline edit is pretty much what the BoingBoing story used, and I'd first suspected that the headline and link might have been changed. Apparently that was an independent submission.

See that submission here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31945425
