HN can be a bit too anal about that rule, IMO, which often leads to titles being stripped of vital context. And IMO editorializing isn't always a bad thing, so my general rule here on Tildes has been to just use common sense and try to keep things as objective as I can. If an article's original title is clickbait or sensationalized I remove those elements to tone it down, and if it lacks context or an accurate description of what it's actually about I will add that so people can better understand the submission and find it again later using search.
You're probably right about that. Thanks, I'll keep it in mind. And I can't believe I missed that it was submitted before! I guess I only checked new over the last three days...

Sorry about the title, copied it from the site and figured I'd adopt the HN stance of not editorializing in link submission titles.

p.s. This article was already submitted 4 days ago but don't worry too much about it since the repost warning system is still "in progress": https://gitlab.com/tildes/tildes/issues/181 :)

I hadn't seen this before, so repost or not I'm grateful. Superconductivity is really interesting stuff and something I'm always happy to read about.
