well bad news for any film-maker who wanted to make a spinal-tap-style parody of Silicon Valley...because there's no way you can do better than this story.
like the HN Post (about six or so months ago) linking to a story about a company that built tools for automated securities trading and whose IPO was interrupted because of a glitch the software running on the exchange they listed on--my first thought on reading HN posts like this one Clinkle, is that someone read an article on TheOnion and thought it was reporting actual events. As much as i love TheOnion, even they could not do it better than this.
