I always hate these comparisons because they always compare market capitalization and not enterprise value. On the latter metric, which is independent of how a company is financed, Intel is still more valuable. Intel is still "worth more" than Nvidia.

I'm not even a software engineer. Lowly MBA that writes R code. even I understood the gist. But the part that I understood well is that _this was a HackerOne managed program_, meaning that it's HackerOne's job to take a raw submission and turn it into a well designed report that can be triaged and fixed.
