So the concern should really be directed to the NYT editorial staff who writes the titles for their articles?
If HN was a pure aggregator and never changed the title I would agree that it should be directed at NYT.
HN also editorializes the content posted here, they do change titles here to reflect some of the values or ethics that this form embodies, so asking for the title changed to better reflect the content is a fair ask.
Nytimes has an International Edition, there are versions in Spanish and Chinese, classifying it as an American website is perhaps a bit myopic.
Time zones have very little meaning if you are a digital nomad like me and I hope many others on this website, or work with multi geography teams as it increasingly common last 15 months.
The title is misleading to people like OP and me who wanted to learn something useful beyond tax woes (for Americans or others) when considering a digital nomad lifestyle. Yes it is important topic for Americans and had the author just mentioned a paragraph about that it would not be a problem, however the entire article is basically a puff piece for the tax consultants quoted and contains only talking points on why you really need such expertise.
