    Father of the web sure. But HTTP is not the Internet!

  Nitpicking: a father of the internet not the father. There is more than one.

    I believe it's what is called a joke. I'm with you, I don't like them either.

  He made millions last 20 years at Google without doing much and just being a honorary post, not sure what he feels about BS jobs like this

    Vint took what could have been a prestige emeritus position at Google and turned it into a platform to champion accessibility and “Greyglers”. The man has more class than his suits.

    Of all the millionaires in the world, I feel he’s earned a little bit of monetary recognition for his achievements.

    Had I coinvented TCP/IP, I’d gladly take a bullshit, cushy paying job in my latter half of my career as a ‘reward’
