Good grief this one is complicated.

That Bloomberg article is boring except for the sentence at the end. The submitter made the title be about the last sentence, but we changed it back to the original, which didn't satisfy anybody because the only interesting thing about the article is the last sentence.

The current post seems at first glance to be a garden-variety tweet picking up on that sentence, but someone pointed out to me that it's actually by the author of the Bloomberg article, suggesting that he might be at odds with the Bloomberg editors about what aspects of the story are significant. Suddenly that's interesting.

Given that Alex has been tweeting in response to this in detail (https://twitter.com/alexstamos/status/1268061790954385408), it seems like there's enough information here to support a substantive thread.

Given that sneak's post was the first on this and that it links to the statement by the reporter about the only thing that anyone here cares about, it seems clear that this is the post we should leave up. So I merged the comments from the other thread hither.


Thank you for your work!


Thanks for the merge!
