I'd expect the current interest rates make it a less viable strategy.
Also, money is fake but I'd expect there's a limit to just how many billions you can burn before you can't get away with it.

Kinda checks out? 2022 is around the time it became clear the admin was clueless about what makes SO actually a valuable research, and then genAI was the perfect spark to go full rot.
It's on one side with Bitcoin and Ethereum, even if you didn't know about Brave before, seeing it there would immediatelly throw it into the bin compartment of your brain.
Microsoft is to blame for allowing these fucktards kernel-level access.
This is a backwards take.
The only way to have actual security is for the entire kernel to be completely open source. Microsoft is too blame for not giving everyone kernel-level access.
and they’re absolutely terrified of making any changes that might mildly inconvenience enterprise customers
Correction, they don't think about such changes at all. There are no other concerns than those of big-paying customers, and even then you need a bunch of big enterprise customers request something for the thing to even end up being considered for the backlog.
This is a unique situation because absolutely everyone involved deserves to go bankrupt and disappear into the darkness.
You have a closed-source OS that causes a vast swath of our infrastructure vulnerable to MSFT's whims and incompetence, and built on top a closed-source AV market that allows the infra to be extremely vulnerable in a second, unrelated way, plus the cross-product of them both since AV gets so tightly integrated to the kernel.
Until we can force MSFT to open-source Windows with a small military invasion of Redmond or some shit, maybe at least this will make people think twice before they install "anti"malware from an equally untransparent corpo straight into mission-critical infrastructure like a horny teenager putting his raw dog into a coconut.
the main downside (if you consider it such) is that it would instantly obliterate the commercial malware blocker industry.
Don't threaten me with a good time
lulz, ofc, all the extremists study at Harvard or some shit?
If more than one system devs launch into a Lovecraftian stream of epithets about how incomprehensiblly horrific it is when you ask them about their work then there just may be some truth in it.
Absolutely stellar writing, except for this one weird bit
Database people are systems people. Modern databases have their own memory management, thread scheduler, and a fucking compiler inside. A promising research direction is to just bundle the database with your own bloody kernel that you handwrote with a box of scraps to make the entire thing less cursed and not have to wrestle with Linux.
You know, just in case you were looking for people to include in your postapo gang, database experts will also murder whatever you want with bare hands.
But Ready Player One had thiiis!
Come on bro, let's build the Torment Nexus alreadyy
Ye that's why I'm asking, cause even RationalWiki doesn't have a chapter on abuse or anything.
