Lots of supposition and subjectivity. I'm pretty much clueless on this topic, but from a quick scan this seems like pure gossip. I've learned nothing at all except for various HN opinions, and I have trouble understanding if and/or what the substance is here. What am I missing? Put another way. What does anyone on HN actually uniquely know about this situation. Could someone help simplify this?
