I really want to see people who ruin functional services made into pariahs I don't care how aggressive this sounds; name and shame. Huffman should never be allowed to work in the industry again after what he and others did to Reddit (a

I don't much like MA. I want more from our VCs than the glib one-liner-and-no-thought-beyond-that EdwardSnowdenIsATraitor. Especially if they're going to fund multiple companies

This is wildly unrelated and I apologize but it reminds me of Apollo 13 vs From The Earth To The Moon (which Tom Hanks directed so one suspects he had more creative freedom) FTETTM has artistic license. There's no record of Collins (Ap
