This article would be better if it reported on the topic of the article, rather than stopping at stating the topic. Seriously, the whole thing could easily fit in 240 characters.
NIST staffers are revolting against his appointment... why, exactly? Ok, it also says he's associated with EA, and EA people have done bad things. Is that what the NIST staffers are saying? What are the staffers saying, anyway? If you're going to claim to be reporting on them, maybe at least try talking to them.
I got pretty much nothing from this article other than the headline. It both piqued and frustrated my curiousity. Perhaps I need to read more about how EA is being problematic in practice. The high-level description seems fine, but then again, every single religion, cult, movement, rebellion, revolution, etc. could be described as "do good stuff" at a high level (or at least "don't do bad stuff"—Don't Be Evil, anyone?) The part between "do good stuff" and "therefore we must commit genocide" is kinda important.
