The part that is confusing is Jeff himself posting this. There is only but one explanation - to increase the visibility of the issue.

Jeff is known for his rPi experiments, so the question is why this seemingly random blog post.

How did Jeff even get to know about this post? Unless the author sent it over to him?

Soo many questions. Mostly because the author of this blog post isn't a YouTuber (AFAICT)

Google search alerts are a thing (https://www.google.com/alerts). I'd expect a public figure, however niche their following is, would set them up to track the conversation about them.


And once you see a post about you show up in Google Alerts, is the next step you do post that on HN?
