      I almost wonder what Huffman is thinking right now - he could have been so very close to becoming a billionaire, managing the repository of human general technical knowledge explained simply, but he blew it by being a greedy piggy…

      Not that he will ever admit that, even to himself.

          His decision tree is like: I say yes, content creators say no, admin rights say yes tho, market ends up saying no tho, the end.

              So many songs about rape… tbf I don’t get that vibe from that Beatles song that seems more about just opposite phrases:-), but in general, we have it far too much in our culture.
