Hey, who changed the title? I submitted this as "Austrian" Skydiver shatters world record with 24-mile-leap? What happened, HN?

Avoid unnecessary editing of the article's original title.

But adding Austrian added additional information. I'm sick of these arrogant hn title editors that think they know best.

Consider that if a dozen people submit this story with the correct title but their submissions count as upvotes / duplicates to this first submission then the algorithm may automatically correct the title to the most common submission which is likely the actual article.

thanks for posting this. i felt it was necessary. but i can see where you come from.

Karma police.

arggh, Americans you say ;)

Arrest this man. He talks in maths. He buzzes like a fridge. He's like a detuned radio.

Why the downvotes for a reference to one of the greatest songs of all time ( Karma Police by Radiohead ) ?

You've been here for a year - you should know better. Your message is just noise, and has nothing to do with the topic.

This is not reddit.

Exactly, here on HN we don't need those new-fangled "collapsible comments" like Reddit has. We prefer to treat our threaded comments like mere oddly layouted linear threads and allow no digressions!

"Load more comments" and "comment score below threshold" ... we have the technology ...

Let's focus on the real scourge first... "Link expired".
