"Odd that the New York Review of Books would write about New York."

Not really, and that's not what I said.

I clearly said that the title on Hacker News was misleading because Hacker News isn't the same as NY mag, so their limited title made sense for their limited distribution, but when applied here, became misleading.



Well, HN includes the source site along with the title, so that context isn't really missing. At least it does for me. E.g., the line on the HN page appears as:

> What the Apps That Bring Food to Your Door Mean for Delivery Workers (nybooks.com)

But in any case, the idea that a headline ought to include all the context is a hopeless one.
