Because it didn't fit within Hacker News' 80-character headline limit.
Running up against the threshold happens to me all the time, thanks to HN's strict size limit (which used to be 100 when I started, then dropped to 90, and is now 80) and the trend for news headlines to get longer for SEO and better conversions.
