Writer of the article here. Totally get the frustrations with paywalls. Bottom line is feature stories like this take weeks, months, sometimes a year or more to produce. Sites without paywalls have to go for clicks (which are worth close to zero now that Google/Facebook gobble up most online ad budgets). If low value clicks are all you have, you end up like dailymail.co.uk.

If you want high value news, you have to pay someone a reasonable salary to report/write it.

Anyway, hope you enjoy and here's another fun part of the story:

The FBI office has conducted hundreds of briefings for companies on cybersecurity threats and economic espionage. It discourages people from using their regular smartphones and laptops when traveling in China and warns male U.S. executives to avoid “honeypot” espionage attempts by attractive women. “If you’re not a 10 in the U.S., you’re not a 10 in China,” officials say they’ve told the executives.

Hi Toomuchtodo.....I saw a comment you posted on a separate thread and this new submission. I'm actually a writer trying to research how employees being paid with equity can actually take some power back from companies . Have some stuff I wanted to share and was hoping to chat with you. My cell is (847) 380-0751. If you text me I can share more details about who I am and what I'm working on. And you can tell me to buzz off if you like.
