Slight change of title. The leading "How" was dropped. Original: "How We Cracked a 512-Bit DKIM Key for Less Than $8 in the Cloud"

Dropping the How is part of Hackernews guidelines

There’s no such guideline. It’s just part of the default title normalization. The submitter can adjust it afterwards.

Altering headlines automatically is really irresponsible.

Is there any documentation on this? @dang?

It is if you only count the cases it gets wrong.

Couldn't find it in the guidelines. Can you quote the relevant part?

"How we X'd a Y" is a linkbait trope. We edited that in accordance with the site guidelines: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait". https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Thanks for clarifying. Interestingly, in the guidelines, there's an example of where you _add_ "How" instead of removing it: "E.g. translate '10 Ways To Do X' to 'How To Do X'". That tripped me.

We don't remove "how" from "how to". There are a bunch of exceptions like that. It's all pretty simplistic though.
