The submitted URL was https://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?p=13229, but it's mostly quoting from Aaronson's post, so I've changed the URL to the latter. Interested readers might want to read both, though (including the comemnts).
Once I thought I had a title,
So clever and so true,
But Dang changed it 'fore anyone could sue.
My title was so simple,
Just a statement of the facts,
Yet Dang liked the title from the clickbait hacks.
Now I sit and wonder,
What's the point of coming up with a name?
When Dang will change it, regardless of fame.
Still I try and post,
In hopes that my title might stay,
Though Dang is always lurking, ready to change it in some sneaky way.
So I'll keep on posting,
With a resigned and weary mind,
Because I know Dang will win, as my title is left behind.
Does HN have those?
Flexing your unlimited comment edit privileges I see ;)
As a compulsive self-editor, I'd rather not have any timeout on edits for anybody, but unfortunately that would leave threads open to really bad forms of abuse.
I'm not convinced this argument holds for the time window limiting deletion of comments.
An easy way to prevent that is to quote the parent comment while replying. Like I did in this comment.
