I know there are a lot of founders, and therefore businesspeople, on this site—but I still find it a little weird that this kind of fratty business talk has so thoroughly permeated hacker culture. This article has absolutely 0 technical content; it's entirely about a business deal, and it could be about any business deal. I am not of course suggesting that this should be of less concern to hackers, or to the population of this website (or of the Web 2.0 penumbrua in general), so please don't view this as another 'Uh, should this really be on Hacker News?' post. I just am sometimes struck by the tone and focus of much of the chatter on the 'technical' web---by how thoroughly, apparently, so many of its denizens have been totally consumed by concern with how well any given fund made out on a business deal, and bodies of shares; and by the obnoxious Wall Street tone that can be taken, more or less indistinguishable from the smug chatter of the talking heads on cable TV or any of the obnoxious businessmen that I know.
