Will Buzz Aldrin please pick up the white courtesy phone? We have need of your your services.
OK, I was like, "meh". Traffic in Boston. Whatever. Then I noticed the hi-rises on the right... slowly moving (yes, I know the station is actually moving; but everything is relative).
Like trees. Smokey the HR bear. "Only you can prevent fire fires".
Uhhh... it was never cool. We're nerds. NERDS!!!
Stop eating anything that comes in a box or Bag.
Very well then. I'll just grab a few of these loose potatoes here... that 24 oz. steak wrapped in paper looks good, and uh... let's wash it down with a couple of those 40s over there.

I had the same knee-jerk reaction too. I blame sensationalist journalism. He isn't being thrown in prison for teaching about Bitcoin. I could publish the same thing and not go to prison. The difference? I wouldn't be doing it as part of my tech-support functions for ISIS. He's not going to prison for teaching. He's going to prison for providing support to ISIS. The teaching is just part of that.
You don't even have to be all hush-hush about it. Stuff is all over the news. They busted one lousy warehouse in the Bay Area a few days ago. Estimated value: $15 million. Even if that figure is inflated, it's one grow-op in a warehouse that got careless and/or greedy and didn't hide the smell properly, and didn't have a plausible explanation for their electrical usage. There have to be a bazillion that don't get caught.

OK, after sleeping on this one and reading some of the comments below I think I have a bit more sympathy for the Reddit admins... although I'm not 100% with them. First, it's their site. They can ban anybody they want for any reason. OTOH, it seems like they're being selective in their bans based on political criteria. So what this boils down to is, hold onto your hats (m'lady) here... we have the "millenials" of Reddit upset because they are... wait for it... CONSERVATIVES and Reddit is being run by what in the US we call "liberals" of the "PC speech" type.
In other words, it's just the same old politics.
Who said, "The Internet sees censorship as damage and routes around it"? Yes. It's old. You've probably heard it a million times; but it's so apropos.
There are 10 kinds of pre-schoolers. Those who've had enough nap time, and those who haven't.
After I posted that, I found this story about what really happened. It's an interesting read, but the tl;dr is that they did in fact totally revamp the business model and fire a whole bunch of people. They're bumping along as a smaller company with a less crazy model.
That may not meet the criterion for these fail lists; but it certainly sounds like a failure for some VCs. The company as originally conceived certainly no longer exists; but it sounds like the corporate framework is still there. It might still have a good outcome for people that survived the layoffs, founders, and some patient investors.
