All this needs is a little bit of misogyny and a Star Wars reference and this comment would everything wrong with nerds in one post.

Absolutely, truly hilarious to point to the Equifax breach when the same Struts vuln is present in Oracle products.

They hate us for our freedoms

I would consider using it because: 1. I work in a backwards enterprise shop where "no one ever got fired for choosing Microsoft" and it would be easier (read as "possible) to get I…

The thing I find crazy is that in 2017 $20M movies with B-list names are getting picked up as "independent". Ridley Scott's name shows up on IFC movies now; It Follows had an excel…

...except neither is, and Hollywood accounting is a real thing. Even domestic-market box office failures tend to turn a profit internationally.

This is the most hilarious thing posted to HN in a while

I heard some scuttlebutt about two years ago after Oracle got rid of some Java people that Oracle had wanted to leverage Java-as-a-Service as a cloud product, sort of like Google C…

When i read about the "hardware integration" of OSX/macOS/whatever I really have to wonder. Power 32 bit is dead. Apple never ventured into other architectures. macOS (and OSX 10.w…

Bourgeois law in its wisdom protects individual property owners from their mistakes, unless they affect owners of larger property... that said, Equifax may have just fucked over th…

Who is "we"? I'm not a Google shareholder.

To Verizon, yes, but who said there isn't a secondary market for that information? I'm reminded of how Facebook is a net buyer of information from Oracle: there's a thriving resale…

Thank god, I was wondering what I'd replace Solaris with

This isn't true. Even 10 years ago it was pretty normal for litigation involving the SEC to routinely have half a million or more hard copy pages shipping between law firms and the…

Or conversely big players will pony up for larger operations to exploit marginal inefficiencies and other economies of scale, which is what seems to be happening. Additionally you'…

I'll throw in my 2 cents and say I've worked in "open" floorplans I didn't mind--but these were always at on ghost-town-empty offices for companies that were living on investor lif…

"Buy don't build" becoming such an embedded piece of wisdom that there are literally a half-dozen COTS appliances that do the same thing, but not inventorying them, to the point th…

lol "both sides do it". face it, anime nazi gamers get beat up by not just jocks but also skinny vegans now

Having been using BTRFS at home for years, i get the exact opposite impression... I've had bugs (kernel panics) that just disappear on the next update. I'm happy with the RAID1 eas…

It's almost as if you can frame a 'data-driven' argument and limit the universe of what people imagine to be possible, while pretending to be 'rational' and 'scientific' the whole …

Apple has released some rumblings that it's going to bring back a modular Mac Pro and keep it on x86 even if it goes to ARM for the Macbook, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

My off-the-cuff response is that cryptocoins behave more like a commodity more than a currency, so their value is always relative to cash, not part of global cash reserves.
