HstryrsrBttn··on Yale University IT admin spent $40M college money on luxury cars, houses
I know no intuition that wouldn't notice a lack of over 8000 tablets in inventory.

Where I work everything not written off will be checked bi-yearly. By an independent department.

Something is fishy.

HstryrsrBttn··on Honey, I Decapitated the MacBook
Regarding Apple's patent: WTF isn't prior art there?
HstryrsrBttn··on Ask HN: What do you wish you had done/known in your 30s?
Don't. Take time to know your partner: minimum 2years, have vacations _and_ reflect on them -- if _anything_ heavily irritating or strong arguments arise trust your gust and don't marry, don't try to justify.

Married a paranoid schizophrenic with realising to late -- didn't know all family members (several relatives on the maternal and paternal side have it too) Know the family. Don't try to justify think you picked a healthy exemplar too early -- again: wait 2y+, know their past. Any clinical interventions: stay away.

Otherwise as soon as children are involved this will be years of horror. Trust me.

HstryrsrBttn··on OVHcloud fire: SBG2 data center had no extinguisher, no power cut-out
Autoclosing is a must.

What fire department didn't do the walkthrough? Here that is obligatory and when that happens you can be sure that even a carton sti left from the newest installation is reprimanded.

The last room I took take of was accepted with protocol by an architect. The carpenter and electrition had to explain every single change they made and justify that fire protection was reasonable (e.g. if necessary an extra layer of plasterboard and plaster on every small bit that could ignite was mandatory to gain an est. 30min on top here and there)

ISO: what apart from documentation is necessary for ISO? What Standard are you referring to?

HstryrsrBttn··on Hackers launch attack platform for common people
Yes. Attacking IT systems is illegal in a lot of countries -- independent of the target.

In Germany it's definitively illegal. The president of the Federal Office for Information Security https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arne_Sch%C3%B6nbohm addressed that in their most current newsletter as a crime.

Also: there is a high risk of counter attacks or escalation.

HstryrsrBttn··on Tell HN: China Is Entering Lockdown
Utter nonsense. A lot of vaccines need multiple shots -- independent of the duration of the protection.
HstryrsrBttn··on Ask HN: Do you think nuclear armageddon is plausible?
Hiroshima was a fart compared to the average yield of a warhead. Hiroshima was hit by a 13kT TNT equivalent. The average modern warhead is about 300-500kT -- dialble, but assume the max. if it's all in. (That doesn't change that Hiroshima was a tradegy.) A rocket with multiple warheads often enough carries 5*1MT -- all major cities would be rubble.

Ca. 100 modern warheads mean a multi year nuclear winter -- more will be fired, right know more than 1000 active on either side. Even with a small scale catastrophe: if you don't have enough food in your basement, prep. for cannibalism. The civilization would be horrible.

HstryrsrBttn··on Russian state news declared victory too soon and quickly deletes article
I don't think most Ukrainians care if the stay there.
HstryrsrBttn··on Intel gets worse, but Power11 might get better
At the end of the day: who cares that IBM wasn't able for whatever reason to supply a open CPU?

If they fail to reliable provide that: sadly shows how weak that platform is

Without any commitment to a future openness that can rapidly become an expensive cul-de-sac for anyone willing to develop for it.

HstryrsrBttn··on Ask HN: What is the likelihood of nuclear war in 2022?
(Potential famous last word)
HstryrsrBttn··on [dead]
Horseshit.

Without the nuclear threat that would have been a FIFO -- first in, first out (dead)

HstryrsrBttn··on Ask HN: How much gas we could save in EU if we reduce our heating temp by 3°?
Yeah, and that's the reason Irland and the UK is full of moldy shitholes.

Everytime I watched the housing offerings in Dublin I wondered how any sane being would spend upwards 1M£ for a small, moldy goat pen while parking their Porsche infront.

HstryrsrBttn··on Ask HN: How much gas we could save in EU if we reduce our heating temp by 3°?
Not off. Throttled down.
HstryrsrBttn··on Putin’s Historic Miscalculation May Make Him a War Criminal
That's honourable.

More than stupid killing.

I wished more Russians stood up and free themselves from these old KGB farts

Let's have a peaceful, prospering Europe with all peaceful Russians -- kick these war mongers in their butts. Call back all the soldiers that aren't too motivated anyway.

HstryrsrBttn··on Video of Russian military out of fuel, food and stuck on highways
As long as the idiots at the top don't push the big button? Let the soldiers go. They don't seem to be too motivated to go killing -- appreciated!

1941 my grandfather was send to the eastern front. Aged 17. The Russians could have easily killed him in revenge. They shared their rotten potatos -- all what was left for everybody there. And in the end they send him home, without detention. He got sick anyway, became an adult in war, he had to walk back from Russia and only reached Schleifreisen in Thuringia, were a family took care of him (otherwise he would have died, 200km from home)... but at least the Russians back than showed mercy. Otherwise I wouldn't exist.

Young men shouldn't go to war: party, find love, get too old for war.

HstryrsrBttn··on LG shuts down solar module manufacturing operations
Bad timing.

Now that every European country depending on Russian natural gas needs every alternative they can get?

HstryrsrBttn··on Ask HN: What do I need to learn to be useful as a hacker to defend my country?
AXELOS has a very bad track record.

Learning and getting certified by a company that botched ~80% of their projects... indeed not a good idea.

HstryrsrBttn··on Why the West is reluctant to deny Russian banks access to SWIFT
If there are still more than 300bn in Russia: maybe time to deinvest?

Do it. Let them feel the pain. Either the Russian people start to realise what they support with Putin or they don't deserve any more mercy than Nazi-Germany.

HstryrsrBttn··on Russia threatens 'serious military repurcussions' if Finland joins NATO
If the shithead crosses the border of Finnland or Poland next, all man should take a weapon and march towards Moscow and kill every Russian -- because than everything Hitler anticipated was sadly right and it's time to bring it to an end.

But what I really hope for is that it somehow ends soon without a major death toll and all Europe, including Russia can prosper.

I'm so angry... so tired and angry. This bloody bastard screwed everybody not interested in war and his Russian nationalism. I wanted to peacefully visit Russia with my children and hoped all that cold war shittery would be over for the next generation...

Putin is a douche.
