This is a Hacker News post about an interesting security vulnerability. It is, by both moderator and owner intentions, specifically meaningful in the 'grand scheme' of Hacker News, a site set up to permit people to discuss links.
Yes, at a different level of business, Apple has an open lawsuit against Qualcomm, but that's not the scope that we're here to discuss. Mentioning it is fine, linking to a recent HN post about it would be stellar!, but "It means nothing in the grand scheme" is dismissive and wrong.
Your concerns are clearly expressed, but insulting others for choosing to discuss a topic not relevant to your concerns is no excuse to shut them down verbally. That approach is not welcome here.
EDIT: I'm not a mod or anything.
- revelation 9y agoYou are not a mod, you are a fool responding to a comment without ever reading the comment mine was in response to. What the fuck.
- dang 9y agoWhoa. Attacking another user will get you banned here regardless of how bad some other comment was. Please read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and don't ever post like this again.
