I was wondering whether this might be "the" Robert Morris, made famous by the internet worm. After a glance at his MIT web page I concluded, no, this is a different Robert Morris. This one looks much too young! But he is the Robert Morris.

- randomusrname 6y agoI don't know if you've noticed, but Robert Tappan Morris (the worm guy), is one of the founders of Y Combinator which owns Hackernews.
- tobinfricke 6y agoI did not know that!
- blocked_again 6y agoI mean the profile mentions he co-founded Viaweb. Viaweb was the company started by RMT and PG which got acquired by Yahoo. Interesting that YC is not mentioned in his profile though.
