Actually, the name should likely just be removed. The title is "I Hate the News".

Ok, we've done that. (Submitted title was "I Hate the News by Aaron Shwartz (2006)".)

We tend to take author names out of titles because HN works better when the focus is on content rather than personalities. It stays on personalities anyhow when a famous person is in the mix, but this tactic compensates a bit.

Plus in Aaron's case the author name is already encoded in the domain name.
