Google Chrome Keystone is modifying /var symlink on non SIP Macs causing k-panic

Please don't run that command as stated. It deletes /var (because HN merged adjacent lines)

Edit: It has since been fixed.

I won't, don't worry ;) That code should probably be indented two spaces, like this:

  sudo rm -rf /Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle
  sudo ln /private/var /var

I doubt Hacker News automatically merging 2 lines into 1 line was the cause of the original bug.

You don't run your code through HN as a post-commit hook?
