simpleuser27··on How the Baltic states became the hub of crypto money laundering and fraud
It wouldn't be HN without classic "But America Bad!" whataboutism.
simpleuser27··on I hacked macOS
Sure, so how would you arrive at a dollar amount? What would it be?
simpleuser27··on I hacked macOS
How would you value this exploit, or any exploit?
simpleuser27··on Intermediate sci knowledge associated with overconfidence and negative attitudes
Seriously. Folks in tech like to complain about MBAs, but it's a toss up in my book for "most egregiously overconfident".

Doctors get a good shout as well.

Sent you an email
simpleuser27··on Meduza co-founder's phone infected with Pegasus
When I read comments like this I always wonder what the purpose is - what exactly do you want a reader to come away with?

Companies did bad things until they decided it was no longer to their advantage, and stopped?

And if this is the case, what does it have to do with the article, or the blame owed to the actual, literal bad actor (Putin's Russia)?

simpleuser27··on North Korean campaign targeting security researchers
This is such a strange take it borders on satire.

In this case, the comments seem irrationally critical, to the point of being unconstructive.

simpleuser27··on FBI, partners dismantle Qakbot infrastructure
Isn't that exactly what the fire department should be doing?

I don't understand the criticism, could you explain why you view this in a negative light?
