Not only that but they[1] didn't bother to copy and paste the author's name. It's seems extra obnoxious to copy the entire article but not the author's name and two sentence bio.

(I'm mentioning the original link--so this comment makes sense--in case the HN moderators later change the link to the real article on Vox.)

And that's why I also look at the comments before the actual link.

Or maybe not THE only, but it is a fine excuse.

That's the first line in the link. It says "From VOX" and links to the vox article.

The original link should be used here.
