For those that are a little skeptical of NYPost, here's the DOL press release:

And here's the same story on some other news sources:

- slg 10y agoNotice the date on all of these, they are from 2016. I wonder why this story is popping up on HN now. EDIT: Just to clarify since I am getting downvoted, I am not necessarily against this being on HN, but at the very least the post should have the year in the title to indicate it is old.
- rsynnott 10y agoMight have been confusion over the date; it's nearly exactly a year ago. I thought it was current when I saw it; missed the '2016'.
- grzm 10y agoOften people don't notice right away that it's old, or aren't aware of the HN convention to include that in the submission title, or just forget. I agree it should be there. (I've also seen people argue it shouldn't because it may prejudice a reader from reading it.) Sometimes the submitter will notice comments about the year and update it. Sometimes mods do. If you contact the mods via the Contact link in the footer, they'll update it. They're quite responsive.
- grzm 10y agoThe poster likely came across it and thought it was interesting enough to post to HN. I haven't looked, but I wouldn't be surprised if the front page doesn't include a few other older submissions.
