Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Blast from the past, we're kinda behind the times here in Sweden
Hidden crypto mine found in Swedish hospital (link in Swedish)
I hate how it is called mining, like it is digging up some resource from the earth. While it is just an advanced calculator.
Imagine they found a hidden iron ore mine (That is what I recall being mined in Sweden, if anybody knows something more interesting, like some precious stones, please inform me (looking at this gold/silver could also work)) under a hospital. But nope, just a hidden datacenter.
Eh, it’s destroying a common good to extract resources (landscape / minerals, electricity / numberwang). I say the shoe fits.
That is a good comparison. Thanks.
