Why the massive downvotes when contributing to the issue he raises?

> Apple appears to be in no rush to fix the first one, I wouldn't bet my money on this vulnerability getting a fix any time soon, either ...

As it was clearly stated, there is a fix. Whether or not they'll release a 10.10 patch remains to be shown, and "no rush" is speculation.

I'll never understand the HN crowd, but I guess providing additional information to clear up a false statement, while correcting OPs assumptions is against the rules.

10.10.3, which includes that fix, was released 3 days ago. I'll never understand the HN crown, whining about the HN crowd while you didn't bother googling before writing your rant.

I'm sorry, where's the rant?

I didn't know there was a 10.10.3 patch - I never said there wasn't. OP said there wasn't, I said it remains to be shown. You're more than welcome to correct me on that.

I don't understand what my patch sentence has to do with whining - or how that is whining about the HN crowd?

It's still unclear what was unwanted about my original comment, so I can't really correct my behavior (which was what I wanted all along).
