We changed the URL from http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-12-16/apple-stops-online-..., which is about a side effect (Apple halting online sales), to the more general article about the story, via https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8757165.

Edit: Ok, we'll change it back. Sorry for the mistake.

Great, now all the comments lost context. This is asinine. Don't modify the submissions, or titles.

It drives me crazy.

I know it's well intentioned, but this power in the hands of a few seems to do more harm than good. Why not just let the populous up/down vote things as they see fit?

I wouldn't have upvoted an article about the general ruble decline (it's not news to me). I would (and did) upvote an article Apple halting Russian sales.

This particular change was a mistake and we fixed it.

> It drives me crazy.

I can understand that, and it bothers me that even one user feels this way. Unfortunately, every time I sit down to reply, multiple paragraphs insist on coming out, and I haven't had time to edit them. I'll try to come back and post something later. (Edit: sorry, I guess it'll have to be another time.)
