This is a rare case where I vastly prefer the news outlet article over the original source. That tinyapps blog post is horribly written.

  This is a case where the "journalists" hand out white canes. When you were there, it's all just a big laugh, and when you were not there, it all speculation.

    I'd love an explanation of what this entire comment means.

      I'm not a native speaker, but other than the definition of "white cane", there was nothing in the comment for me which would be considered hard to understand. Journalists explain something accurately, which was previously noted by others, but still was under-reported relative to the potential public interest. I'm still learning :high_five: (maybe everyone is)

        I am a native speaker, and I've never heard "white cane" before.

        Thanks for the clarification, after briefly looking up the term I could have ended up believing this was the common translation for what I know as "Blindenstock" in German. What is the correct term for this? White stick?

      I think what the comment is saying is that the job is not taken seriously by reporters. White canes are a reference to props used in old-timey vaudeville acts (?). https://youtu.be/zgwG5wA5s3Y https://youtu.be/zgwG5wA5s3Y The whole thing makes no sense to me in connection with the article.
