- bigyabai 4mo agoYour title is editorialized. In accordance with HN's submissions guideline, it should read: China is building launch pads near its nuclear missile silos > Please don't do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- infinitewars 4mo agoUppercase is necessary for an acronym.
- bigyabai 4mo agoThat's not the editorialized part.

- operatingthetan 4mo ago>You (and a few other outliers) have their comment history piped into an RSS feed that I check regularly, solely because you refuse to write ordinary comments or submissions. Your post history can even be traced across accounts with basic stylometry, nothing about your contributions are subtle, normal, or genuine. I don't believe you are a HN mod, frankly this looks like harassment/stalking. Write an email to Dang if it bothers you.
- bigyabai 4mo agoYou don't have to be an HN mod to do any of that. The title is negligent and misleading to readers, as well as unfair to Reuters. There's nothing wrong with the article's contents or speculation. This is a high-quality submission besides OP's insistence on putting their opinions in the title instead of the comment section.
- operatingthetan 4mo agoThen flag it and move on. You following this user around with an RSS feed is bizarre.
- bigyabai 4mo agoI didn't want it flagged, I wanted it corrected. It's fundamentally a good article. > You following this user around with an RSS feed is bizarre. No, "bizarre" is butchering a Reuters title to fit your pet theory. Following users with a unified feed is the basis of most social media.
- operatingthetan 4mo agoYour intent is to harass this particular user. That is pretty uncool, and yes, strange.
- bigyabai 4mo agoMy original comment is literally asking for a guideline-friendly title.

- leephillips 4mo agoThe article’s real title is “China is building launch pads near its nuclear missile silos” and doesn’t mention anything about Musk or his dome.
- infinitewars 4mo agoGolden Dome is meant to preemptively attack China's ICBMs "left of launch", for which they are building anti-satellite rockets and microwave systems as article notes, https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3342443/chinese-scientists-build-world-first-20gw-microwave-weapon-can-fire-60-second-bursts https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3342443/chin...
