> Their initial reply from the CEO: "I would love to hear what the vulnerability is, but I assume you want to get paid for it. Is that the play?"
Well that’s pretty damning.
a16z = "Andreessen Horowitz", for those not in the know. (The acronym is not expanded in the article.)
fixed now
Thanks! Happy to have my comment hidden by the mods if they get around to it.
appreciate the feedback!!
Would it be possible to stop using aXXb nomenclature within the titles? Some of us aren't hip enough to know what all of them mean.
Their website is literally a16z.com... you'd rather say Andreessen-Horowitz, which is just as arbitrary as a16z? They're one of the top VC firms on the planet -- exceedingly relevant for the HN audience.
I'll be honest - I was thinking authorization (a11n?) - so I didn't read it closely enough. But despite that, and being on HN from almost the beginning (with a different account I lost the password to), I still didn't know what a16z was, though I do recognize Andreessen-Horowitz.

Yikes, Schemata and that delinquent CEO should be held accountable.
