If the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids."
Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.

The original title of the paper, "I Know Why You Went to the Clinic: Risks and Realization of HTTPS Traffic Analysis", is 83 characters.
HN's limit is 80.
Removing the words "and Realization" drops the character count to 67, well within HN's allowance. That's what I'd done in my alternate suggestion:
A: "I Know Why you went to the clinic: Risks and Realization of HTTPS Traffic Analysis"
B: "I Know Why you went to the clinic: Risks of HTTPS Traffic Analysis"
(Feel free to try to replicate it. I actually spent a few minutes playing with ellipsises to find a different way to chop it.)
Bit of a stretch I know...
