I thought you were referring to another post with "Mark". It's ok to call him Mr. Zuckerberg, since most of us don't know him personally.

I had no trouble understanding that "Mark" meant "Mark Zuckerberg" given the thread about Facebook and the comment branch about him. I don't think "Mr. Zuckerberg" is warranted on HN.

When I interviewed at Nest a few years ago, people kept telling me what Tony said or believes. You know, Tony. It's just an awkward way to refer to a 3rd party, unless they're in the discussion.

You're right, that is an example of an awkward or inappropriate use of a first name.
