Edward Snowden?

He's on the list now, so now my comment looks like I'm questioning why he's there. I am not. He wasn't there when I first posted that (or, I've lost my mind)

I want to vote for Elon Musk too, but Edward Snowden is too important. Also, why are there no women listed? Sheryl Sandberg and Marissa Mayer made lots of news this year.

I just added the names that were put forward in the original Ask HN post. I've added Sheryl Sandberg and Marissa Mayer to the poll options.
