   That's because it's a thinly veiled ad for a San Diego-based startup, which the "news" agency failed to disclose as much.

   In support of the parent's remark, I highly recommend everyone read this excellent Bloomberg article[1] from last year which elaborates on the finer points. It surely made my blood boil at first blush. [1] https://www.bloomb
