Yes, it's called a 'puff piece'.

Given this is an entrepreneurial-leaning community, maybe we should be congratulating Yondr for securing the coverage rather than criticizing them and the NYT. Marketing is a necessary part of any successful endeavor.

Hacker News in a nutshell: "We should be congratulating the ones who are manipulating the means by which we mean to be informed, as they were doing it for capitalist gain."

Please don't make dissing generalizations about the community as a rhetorical device. We've noticed that it's reliably a marker of bad comments. People usually make such generalizations to put down those on the other side of an argument and give themselves a higher status by implication. That may be good for making others look bad, but it's not good for the thoughtful discussion we hope for here.
