This is an opinion piece, not a news article. I don't think it's appropriate to flag it. From the HN Guidelines: "If a story is spam or off-topic, flag it ... When you flag something, please don't also comment that you did."
- breck 9y agoThanks for the comment. I believe the story was off-topic though, as defined in the guidelines by: "Ideological or political battle or talking points"
- chmaynard 9y agoIt's sort of a gray area because Apple doings are generally considered newsworthy by HN readers. The author is a columnist for the LA Times. Columnists, like newspaper editorial writers, almost never back up their arguments with data or cite sources. They don't leave their offices to dig up information in the field. I think of them more as pundits than journalists.
