Comment Re: when ticket master resells an ticket they make (Score 1) 27

I wouldn't be surprised if it's revealed that it's ticketmaster or the developers of their platform that's behind the bots just to line their pockets.

Related Rick and Morty - er, Summer ...

Rick: Well, obviously, Summer, it appears the lower tier of this society is being manipulated through sex and advanced technology by a hidden ruling class. Sound familiar?

Summer: [Gasps] Ticketmaster.

Larry Ellison and cheeto gets a cut just like the US Steel deal.

And... Trump gets editorial control and preferred feed placement, Pam Bondi gets warrant-less access to all user data, Stephen Miller gets control of (shadow) banning people and Karoline Leavitt is in charge of "fact checking" ... And JD? Nothing, no one likes him. :-)

Real reason? To delay any financial reporting that shows the negative economic impact of administration's policies

In this case I disagree - six months makes good sense in several ways. I wonder who managed to talk him into making a sensible suggestion for once.

In this case, you both may be correct.

Comment Re:Perl always draws you back... (Score 2) 82

Perl has been my go-to scripting language for a long, long time -- since the '80s. And knowing it means I don't have to use Python. :-)

It's good tool for a lot of things, but just one of many. On the last large cross-platform (Windows, Solaris, Linux) project, I used many different languages: Assembly (x86), Bash, C, Cmd, Java, Ksh, Perl, Postscript, PowerShell, Python, SQL, Tcl/Tk, VBScript -- whatever was best for the particular task on the particular platform. That said, using Perl often allowed the same script to be used across all platforms instead of similar scripts in different languages.

And... Emacs. (yes, I'm old) :-)

Comment unspecified cybersecurity agency (Score 1) 77

Proton disabled email accounts belonging to journalists reporting on security breaches of various South Korean government computer systems following a complaint by an unspecified cybersecurity agency.

Any bets on if that "unspecified cybersecurity agency" was the one actually doing the hacking and it's a 3-letter agency? [Not UCA :-)] /CrazyNotCrazy

Comment Sounds familiar. Fire first, ask questions later. (Score 1) 47

"There's 1,400 employees at Opendoor. I don't know what most of them do.

Maybe don't pull a DOGE and find out what they do *before* you fire them, so you don't have to just rehire them when you discover they actually did necessary work?

We don't need more than 200 of them.
