- froggertoaster 5y agoNot funny.
- SilasX 5y agoWhy not? We can't criticize someone's reckless, selfish decision, even ten years past their death from it?
- the-alt-one 5y agoVery funny.
- james-redwood 5y agoIt's hilarious
- magikaram 5y agoPretty funny.
- gaius_baltar 5y ago> Not funny. I don't think the parent comment intended it to be funny, is sounds like a tongue in cheek criticism of an ethically suspect problem.
- SilasX 5y agoThose aren't mutually exclusive. I was criticizing him, while also using humor in the process. That is, given that they'll change titles while you're on leave [1], these are funny-but-fitting titles they could have given him. Plus, the extra joke of framing his "exploitation of the organ system's rules" as "pentesting", since "well, he found ways that a rich person could jump the queue...". My earlier comment on this kind of "insight framed as a joke" (interestingly enough, also in the context of Apple): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24506073 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24506073 [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30286126 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30286126
