If you see a horrible horrible title, you can send an email to dang/tomhow asking for a change hn@combinator.com . Bonus imaginary points for a good alternative candidate. Add the URL of the post to ensure they see the same post.
They don't like a very cherry picked sentence. The best options are a small variant of the title or the subtitle. Sometimes they agree and change it.
It's a manual process, so reserve it for horrible cases.
