It's incredibly stupid to remove substrings from headlines and expect that what comes back will be an improvement or make sense.

*squints* So you're suggesting that HN auto-removed the phrase "Hundreds of" and then made the "Per" lowercased?

I don't submit enough to judge whether it's HN, or the submitter, or it was accurate and then the remote page changed, but I certainly agree the HN title is goofy.

Yes, HN has an automatic title shortener that tries to follow the site guidelines, including:

> 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."

However it's not particulary context-aware as seen here

It is not in the article and I have no data to quote but I would think this would be a good "think of the children" moment.

Except that people do "think of the children" when buying larger vehicles, since they believe children should be in the big safe vehicles and never outside as a pedestrian.

Tall vehicle hoods also increase the drag coefficient. Every deviation from the teardrop shape increases the drag coefficient.

An intake scoop in the hood would qualify as actual air cooling.
