> Ventura is a 150 year old city where 100k people live. I know this is HN, but can we not let mega-companies capture names like this?

Ventura is 5 different cities, two different municipalities, hundreds of people, a racehorse, at least one freeway, two planes, a ship, a car, a bus company, a guitar brand (defunct), an engine, a film festival, a design show, three albums, two songs, and two bands. And an OS codename. The exclusivity you're claiming never existed, and the name capture either doesn't either, or is a long-done deal.

Hell, the name of the city you're talking about isn't even Ventura, it's San Buenaventura.

You're so confidently incorrect its beyond comical.

In California, Ventura CITY and Ventura county.

A simple Gooling negates the need for you to be so wrong in one comment.

It’s not that simple:

> Ventura, officially named San Buenaventura, was founded in 1782 when Saint Junipero Serra established Mission San Buenaventura, the ninth of the California missions. Serra named the mission after the Italian Saint Bonaventure, hence the nickname that Ventura is the “city of good fortune.”

So I would be nicer in general but also take this as a distraction from the main point that tech companies shouldn’t squat on human names. The geographic names will be around long after the OS version is obsolete. I know multiple Alexas and a Siri who will be quite happy if Amazon and Apple rebrand, too.

Gotta love confidently incorrect attempts at calling out other people for being confidently incorrect!

You'd think you would quadruple check that first.

Please don't be an asshole in HN comments, regardless of how mistaken someone else is or you feel they are.

If you know more than someone else, that's great—but then please share some of what you know, so the rest of us can learn (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...) - and please drop the putdowns! It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

All the more reason for clarity?

If "app quarantine" and "xattr" make you think somebody is referring to a city, racehorse, or band, I'm not sure the allowed size of titles on HN is sufficient to disambiguate. And I don't think many HN title make the cut either.
