So somebody bought Danger for $500MM, but it's now worthless? (I don't know the backstory, but reading between the lines.) The good fortune of the ex-founder isn't the focus of the page. The person doesn't seem to be saying "don't work in a startup", they're just measuring how much funding startups get that ends up with a dead server [1]. Pointless and misleading for HN startuppy-readers, but I can imagine there are people who might find it perfectly on-topic.

Edit: I'm not saying the data is correct, just that the page might have value for some participants. Hopefully the creators will include HN and other feedback on final outcomes.

[1] From the page: "3. Calculation

Calculate how much money was spent on startups which dns/http servers don't work at that time."
