Knowing that would require techbros to actually read, so I’m not shocked

This made me wonder/have a quick revelation. You know how those 419-scams are intentionally misspelled a bit so people who would not fall for the scam later down the line get weeded out early? What if this is why all these companies name themselves after evil artifacts, and or misuse fables, etc (I seem to recall a Hillary Clinton convention also had a 'we are gonna do ozymandias' thing, but not sure if that was real). It is to weed out the skeptics who might scare away the easier marks. What if this isn't by accident, but intentional? (Could also just be my paranoia).

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
