I find it hard to believe that such a well informed crowd with health dose of skepticism as HN can be outright dismissal of that article just because no evidence has been revealed, and because experts have dismissed the story so far.

A favorite story on HN, this listening device was not detected for seven years, despite experts extensively looking for it [0]

As a side note, we tend to judge an article if it goes against our belief, but are willing to give it a pass otherwise. Case in point, plenty of Bloomberg's articles about Boeing or climate change being discussed but don't think I've seen anyone questioning their premise or evidence. I'm guilty of this as well.

If you’re going to make a claim like that, you need to make it in a way that experts can verify: absent follow-up or reporting from other, independent, outlets, there’s no good reason for me to take it seriously. And, given Supermicro’s connections with Taiwan, there’s plenty of reason for me to suspect something’s up.
