A comment on Apple’s research secrecy hurts industry and academic research.

I am offended by this kind of headlines.

In the field of software, Apple uses open source and provides a lot of open source of their doing to the community. So, if there is an imbalance in the field of science, it should be discussed for sure. But if I am offended by Apple's Photos, it is for other reasons.

Edit: my comment refers to the top headline of the article, also used in the link from Hacker News when I wrote it "Why Apple’s Photos announcement should offend you"

It'd be nice if HackerNews put a star or something by headlines that have changed. I was really confused about what you were saying until I read your edit.

And doubly so for when they change the underlying link!

It is frustrating to make a comment then get a response, "ugh, didn't you even read the article?" Uh, yes, I did, but it was a different article!
