A small side note about submission titles (also in light of the "do not editorialize" guideline): it may not be evident that www pages can have non-matching "titles" and "headings" - and that reflects e.g. on RSS text.

In this case, for example:

Page Title: «Indian police are trying to ‘read minds' of suspects, over neuroscientists' objections»

Heading: «Mind reader? // A forensic technology developed in India sifts brain recordings for clues to a suspect’s guilt or innocence. Many neuroscientists are skeptical, but it is catching on in other countries»

...This could be sometimes confusing for moderation (including community moderation - the "flag" feature): there have been cases of sensationalistic or excessive forms that appeared to be editorializing from the submitter, while they were just literal originals not matching what was immediately found in the page...

The way things are going all you need is an Alex Karp/Sam Altman/marketing-fund raising whiz for this would be in world wide use.

Maybe this is just a Job Ad.
