Ditto. I'm relatively new to HN and I am consistently frustrated by the "completely uninformative title" fetish link submitters seem to have.

I also wish that when people submit what is clearly a "new version of software/thing X" they would submit a title like:

"Salami 2.0 released, this popular meat product now has substantially more zest."

Instead people just submit:

"Salami 2.0"

That's no better than Freshmeat.

It's not really up to the submitters. One of the core guidelines of HN is to use the articles title and not to editorialize [0]

>[otherwise] please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.

Obviously there are upsides and downsides to this, but IMO it significantly cuts down on clickbaity titles at the expense of some readability when the site being linked to chooses a less-than-descriptive title.

Because it is fear of losing face/status. You are just a worm if you dont recognize immediately that for example, SoC means "system on a chip"

EMR is just an automated way of deploying open source components (Hadoop and co.) - there's some glue code there but the equivalent "open" version is probably the Hortonworks stuff (now owned by Cloudera): https://github.com/hortonworks

This was pretty cool from Cloudera https://dzone.com/articles/large-scale-health-data-analytics...

As someone who worked at Hortonworks back in the day, this is why I clicked through to find out what is OpenEMR, haha

Same lol, especially cuz it's on hacker news
