Idea and driving force to make this product reality was Kevin Poulsen, Aaron Swartz did most of the code on the MVP, and James Dolan did most of the security/documentation/evangelism work.
Aaron and James are no longer with us.
Source: I was there to help out a small bit at the start with white-boarding security architecture ideas from the start, etc.

- brokenmachine 6y agoWho said it was a laughing matter? It's just a news report of an event that happened.
- jonny383 6y agoIs this the current state of HN? A warning is needed for a softly worded reality? My god.
- LeonB 6y agoIt’s just a link with no description of what it leads to, so it’s not a “softly worded reality”.
- SahAssar 6y agoThe parent said "...James are no longer with us". I'm not sure how you can read that as anything else.
- LeonB 6y agoThat was the grand parent or great grandparent comment. I was replying and suggesting a warning was appropriate on the link to the story itself which gave no content warning regarding suicide. There are many many reasons why someone is no longer with us.
