Article was new enough and long enough at the time of the nomination, and it is properly sourced. Both hooks are cited inline, but I am only approving the first hook as the second one is too technical and may not appeal to non-tech persons. On the other hand, the first hook is funny and quirky. I checked the citation and can verify that the quote is mentioned in the source. No close paraphrasing was found an a QPQ has been performed.
