      The verge is not a good source as it's pay walled

        From the HN FAQ: > Are paywalls ok? > It's ok to post stories from sites with paywalls that have workarounds. > In comments, it's ok to ask how to read an article and to help other users do so. But please don't post complaints about paywalls. Those are off topic. More here. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html You can pay for the paywall, or there are ways around.

    It was written by the Verge, and this Cambridge summary admits that (the first paragraph "journalist" is the original author at the Verge).. perhaps we can go back to original source? It's been submitted twice.
