Heh, you're right, of course, but as someone who came of age on the internet around that era, it still seems strange to me that people these days are making the arguments the RIAA did. They were the big bad guys in my day.

"Why valves are a spacecraft engineer’s worst nightmare" is a great read about all the problems of valves[0]. There's also an interesting interview of the author worth a listen[1].
That's not what executive privilege means. Executive privilege is the right to shield documents from disclosure to Congress.

This is a fascinating line of emails. I am somewhat astounded of how terribly Mike handled the sportsmanship side of things -- what was he threatening to sue over, anyways? Someone who successfully paid him $100 and had respectfully inquired for the prize?
I do not handle people who act in such a volatile and aggressive manner well, especially if so spontaneously. I appreciate Patrick for having good sportsmanship, keeping the situation calm, not re-engaging, then publishing the exchange for everyone to see.

Many years ago I worked at a startup where the CEO was a former CS professor. While at the university, he worked with a somewhat legendary guy who ran the CS school's IT infra. Somehow wires got crossed in recruiting while sourcing the candidate, and another guy with _the exact same name_ who _also worked at the university in IT_ but for a different school got hired after what must've been a perfunctory interview.
The startup had a lot of other problems, that one was the most awkward. It folded not very long afterwards.
