The Red and The Black

@dang although the title of the post is from the article itself, it is not descriptive of what it is. I liked previous title more.

The bigger problem is that this article says nothing—it is merely an announcement of an announcement:

we now believe at this time, and this evidence will be released over the next week, that Wyze was committing espionage against American citizens in the United States

That somebody "now believes something at this time and this evidence will be released over the next week" doesn't come close to being a substantive submission for Hacker News. Here we can wait for the actual information. "Over the next week" sounds like they plan to dole it out in pieces though, which is also not good for Hacker News. (Tricks to get page views generally aren't.)

In particular this post seems to have nothing to do with the Stendhal novel in its content, themes, style, ..., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_and_the_Black

Yup, this seems pretty likely to drop off the front page now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Which means HN users with Wyze devices will likely be in the dark about just how bad this is (only taking the company's official word) until the WSJ exposé.

well, with all the criticism we give them, journalists know how to come up with great story titles, don't they? :)
