Pros:

  - about half the interviewees are HN regulars
  - the other half look very interesting as well
  - nice sample chapter
  - DRM-free pdf
  - one good idea can from this can change everything
  - a thumbs-up from Dan Shipper
  - supports & encourages a young member of this community
  - re-confirms that the good/inspriring on HN outweighs the negative

Cons:

  - data inside may be free elsewhere

The Pros win. I'm buying it. Thank you, Jack.

I'm not a member of Mixergy, but I think all of the work Andrew has done with Mixergy has been great! This was in part inspired by Mixergy.
