> Lazowska and I had a hard time finding other leading computer scientists to join us out of a well-founded fear that criticizing DARPA might make it much harder to get DARPA funding. While I had DARPA funding for the prior 20 years, for the next two projects after that op-ed I needed to learn how to raise funds from industry to replace the substantial DARPA funding of the past. I also lost a consulting role from a company with ties to DARPA due to my stance. I really like that he says that sometimes principles have costs, but he advocates principles anyway. By contrast, the LinkedIn story version would end more like, "...and that dog turned out to be the head of DARPA, and gave me a big raise!"
