I hate Wired, it's the same kind of "storytelling" that other publications like to manufacture, only applied to topics I care for. You can't trust anything about them (even if they feel intuitively true) because they ignore or modify anything for the narrative.

An infuriating thing - but no mention of how Wired came to know the motives of these dubious men. Presumably the unchallenged opinion of Ostrander, but even that is something you have to guess from the mishmash of direct quotes and paraphrasing.
- prepend 5y agoWhat’s especially stupid is that this is the behavior toward all people. It’s common to hear people dwell and quiz on all this trivia. This interpretation shows a lack of comprehension of the community. It would be like if I went to study gorillas and said that the gorilla behavior was because I was male. Wired is such a non-tech magazine and seems to operate without any of the fun critical thinking/hacky type perspective they once had.
