ogn3rd··on Insurance companies fill their networks with ‘ghost’ therapists
Even better, they refuse to remove therapists who no longer take insurance even after multiple attempts and letters requesting removal. It's a fun scam.
ogn3rd··on Tim Gurner apologises over call for more unemployment to fix worker attitudes
Correct, he's only trying to mitigate the damage caused by showing people who he (and the other wealthy folks) really is and how he thinks. This sort of shit is the equivalent to thought cancer.

ogn3rd··on Intel Announces Layoffs After Paying $1.5B in Q1 Dividends
Think the term your looking for is "shareholder capitalism". We definitely need to go back to "welfare capitalism" as what we're doing now is simply a race to the bottom.
ogn3rd··on A cryptocurrency company had a $65M bill, per Datadog’s Q1 earnings call
Especially when you're realize that the billing features have been turned up to 11 on turn-key rollout. Sampling set at 100%, gosh that's expensive right out of the box, but no accident.
ogn3rd··on A cryptocurrency company had a $65M bill, per Datadog’s Q1 earnings call
I briefly worked there. They literally have no idea what they're doing, like not even a little bit.

ogn3rd··on Ask HN: What's your proudest hack?
Had a job in a NOC at an almost empty datacenter doing nothing for 12 hours at a time without the ability to watch YouTube (streaming video wasn't yet a thing) to pass the time. Upon noticing embedded YouTube videos had no issue getting past the corporate firewall I realized I could make a simple html file with the embedded links to the YouTube videos I wanted to watch and I could sit there entertained for the 12 hours. I found the ID's by searching google adding the embedded prefix to the ID in the html file. Not much of a hack, but 12 hours is too long to sit there without video. The second "hack" I performed in this role was adding the default route 0.0.0.0 back to a Checkpoint firewall after an MBA genius deleted it thinking it was erroneous. Look, the datacenter is back online!

Repo Men (2010) paints a pretty good picture of what this will look like taken to it's end.
ogn3rd··on AWS us-west-2 issues
Can confirm this, it's political. It's always great seeing the "rationality" for not doing the right thing. After the 3 outages last December, I can remember a certain person in a certain global outage slack channel laughing at customers who weren't "resilient" enough to withstand the outage. Then AWS focused a resiliency campaign to document all those customers risks, as if AWS's own poorly designed system wasn't the cause for peoples inability to fail over. Glad I'm out of that place, it's super toxic these days.
ogn3rd··on Someone is pretending to be me
Allow me! It was awful and Nathan should be done with television as he's incapable of empathy.
