Enjoy. Updated Daily. Whistle Blower.
macdaknife··on Tesla's Autopilot boasts, safety probed by California AG

macdaknife··on Adding clean energy to the US power grid just got a lot easier
If you have the money to play

macdaknife··on There's Nothing Free Market About the Board Game Monopoly
That rule is designed to shorten the game.
macdaknife··on Tuition costs have risen 710% since 1983
I would also add that a lot of loans end up rolled up into a package, which you are given no forbearance.
macdaknife··on Tuition costs have risen 710% since 1983
I would disagree that 31K is not a lot of money, but then again, maybe it is not a lot of money and my opinion is warped. I think if the government took a few points off for performance as a preferred return on the massive endowments, all of this would go away.

U2 is the first artist signed up to play.
macdaknife··on Sequence diagrams, the only good thing UML brought to software development
Yes, actors and actions. It's the crux of the use case. I'm still operating under the assumption that UML invented the modern use case. I will not be googling this next.
macdaknife··on Ask HN: What happened to Google Analytics 4?
I changed, and my site traffic went down 50% since then. Related?
macdaknife··on Paris Cuts the Lights to Save Energy. Will It Help?
Yeah, it's totally the lights of the Eiffel Tower, and not the anti-energy ideologues.
macdaknife··on Carmack Unscripted – Meta Connect 2022
Love how half his face and such are covered by legal blurbs you need to 'accept'. Call me cynical John, but unless you are ready and willing to explain technically why Meta has dropped the value of so many funds and retirement plans, and also the ball so hard on VR, AR, and come clean about the metaverse being a total marketing ploy to manipulate more money out of the gullible hordes to sell ads: Don't bother.

Virtual billboards anyone? Really, John. Do us a favor and tell the truth about your technology and the goals of your bland, non-relatable team that makes you fill out a W9. I mean, spying on citizens, being a blight on society, contributing to child suicides, playing both sides of the publish or perish card, et al.

You are the chief TECHNOLOGY officer above all (contractor or not), right? I am not sure you will reply, but I hope you read this and focus on the technology. It would be nice to publish your slides before the 'unscripted' talk.

macdaknife··on Bosses think workers do less from home, says Microsoft
Middle manager bosses can shampoo my crotch
macdaknife··on Home appraised with a Black owner: $472K. With a White owner: $750K
In Maryland, the amount of taxes you pay each year is directly tied to the valuation. So that means the white owners (in this case) are paying 63% more in property tax each year.
macdaknife··on A cancer trial’s unexpected result: Remission in every patient
In the clinical trials I have been a part of the manufacturer pays for the drug and all related study costs. They even pay you a stipend for commuting, lunch, etc.
macdaknife··on A cancer trial’s unexpected result: Remission in every patient
I am currently taking a similar drug for Myelofibrosis on a clinical trial holed up after a stem cell transplant here at MD Anderson Cancer Center. It's called Itacitinib, and is supposed to prevent GVHD. It's by the same company that makes Jakafi (brand name). These are expensive drugs for sure, and my DR is running the clinical trial. Just wanted to chime in from the inside. ;p
macdaknife··on French fighter jet joy ride goes très, très wrong (2020)
Premature ejectculation
macdaknife··on U.S. forgives 40k student loans
I paid off my student loans each month until I was 34. I did it, and it made me stronger. Making other citizens pay for your loans is selfish, and it will come back to bite the people who accept this largess.

macdaknife··on Spotify deletes 70 Joe Rogan episodes
Society decided against censors, and the technocrats are now the enemy.
macdaknife··on Spotify deletes 70 Joe Rogan episodes
Blockchain et al allow the government complete visibility into any transaction. It provides a tool for complete gov control.
macdaknife··on Spotify deletes 70 Joe Rogan episodes
Podcasting 2.0 is one of the likely answers to this. In the meantime, I'm sure a lot of people will cancel their accounts on Spotify.

Five'll get ya ten, old Macky's back in town
macdaknife··on REI Workers in Manhattan File to Form Company’s First Union
The building that REI occupies in SoHo has some of the nicest penthouses on top. It's also a gorgeous building that costs a pretty penny. REI, like a lot of others in that area, use the store as a billboard to keep it top of mind. They won't last much longer there, and their employees efforts would be better spent looking for work elsewhere.

SVB Go is a shit app, with a shit product manager, and the whole process of them forcing users onto is was shit. Shit = bad.

Google
macdaknife··on Australia to introduce new laws to force media platforms to unmask online trolls
Your answer not true. In fact, the "Wild West" is still in fact a reality.

1. Land damage as in the largest public lands system in the world? 2. Violence against women who were among the first in the world given the right to vote? 3. Violence against people that were plenty violent? 4. Cowboys spoke many languages. Your point is what? 5. Chicago is the "Wild West", huh? 6. Immigration is good, depending.

Leave the internet out of your politics, please.

macdaknife··on Art Bell Back in Time
Proof?
macdaknife··on Art Bell Back in Time
This is a scam. Period. I just said. In my phone three times in a row. Abel didn’t on the rights to most of the shows he did. Clear Channel did. They didn’t sell them to his wife or anyone else. Whoever is running the site is making money off art bell. Art probably wouldn’t of minded this at all by the way but I do. I happily gave money to Art when he was alive but when he checked out he checked out. There’s a better option on Apple anyway for art bell. Rekola Midnight. I’m sure that’s not anything to do with his family either. It’s just that they’re not looking for Patreon donations. Have people no shame that they’ll stoop so low to prey on a dead man’s legacy?
