It’s just that the analogy breaks down a bit. It’s fair to say a dropped wallet in a city is a one-shot game—it’s reasonable to expect neither the participants nor their acquaintances will ever encounter each other again; whereas a security vulnerability is closer to a repeated one—it’s a fairly small world. (Some kind of neighbourly behaviour would work better here, but then again, it’s more difficult to find a universal experience of that kind.) I didn’t misunderstand this, but perhaps GP did?..

The places you're most likely to get your wallet back in the world are the places you're also less likely to get a reward. The reward for returning a wallet is knowing you're doing your part to make the place you live in a nice place to live.

Doing free work for A16Z or any of the awful companies ruining our world is not helping make anything better.

I think A16Z and the companies they’ve funded have done a great deal of good for the world. The very web browser you’re typed your angry comment into is a technology pioneered by one of its two founders.

Being anti-VC is essential being against technological and economic progress.

I like netscape & its decedents.

Not everything that happens is progress, the world can often do without 'disruption'
