@tunguz i've been quite discombobulated today, on release i was winding down for bed so it didnt register. mulling it all over today, trying to predict what setting this precedent means for the future.. my brain is struggling, like I've been roundhouse kicked in the head. really odd

@tunguz The worst kind of people are those who believe they have the right and moral superiority to tell everyone else what is the right or wrong thing to do.

@tunguz So the premise is that consumers have an inherent right to public access to everything a business develops internally? That would be news to most.

@tunguz This is why they will lose.

Or they'll just change course when this ends up not working. Quietly and without fanfare.
