An explanation for the link:
A link to a previous discussion on HN about pretty much the same article. The original link is to Quartz and the article is by Tim Fernholz, so I guess it's reprinted by "The Atlantic". In the Atlantic version it's even stated at the top "TIM FERNHOLZ - Tim Fernholz is a reporter at Quartz."
