I worked for him at INA as a researcher and IT guy while a student at Texas A&M in the 1990s and helped design and build INA's first computer-based system for tracking and tagging artifacts and photographs. We had a couple of early Nikon Coolscans and had interns feed those all day long to scan what had to be hundreds of thousands of negatives and slides...they still hadn't finished by the time I left a couple of years later. Dr. Bass had great stories to tell and I always liked hearing about his adventures. RIP.
I know Thevet and can assure you that the only purpose behind their posts is to share things the community might find interesting—and that there's zero relationship to NYT. You could not have been more wrong.
Edit: it looks like you've been breaking the site guidelines quite a bit. We ban such accounts, so if you would please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and fix this, we'd appreciate it.
HN is about only IT stories. We aren’t one-dimensional
“Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.”
If NYT were a click farm, they wouldn't have a paywall. And in any case, the NYT didn't suggest it was about IT. If you insist on being a jerk, please at least be an accurate jerk.
