macinjosh··on OBBB signed: Reinstates immediate expensing for U.S.-based R&D
Awesome, this literally could not be better for American tech workers.
macinjosh··on Man 'refused entry into US' as border control catch him with bald JD Vance meme
The we is the people elected through democratic means to execute the law and the people they appoint.

Maybe someday the civilized world will realize democracy often ends in the case of two wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner.

gotta trust that science yo
macinjosh··on Ask HN: In 15 years, what will a gas station visit look like?
most people certainly do not live in a place that has a garage with dedicated charging port. people who leave their cars outside to charge will be subject to vandalism and pranksters cutting/disconnecting the cables. electric vehicles are luxury vehicles for people with means.
macinjosh··on AGI is not multimodal
To me, the funniest part of the AGI debate is that humans don't even think other humans are intelligent and we're over here arguing over whether our fancy slabs of highly refined sand is intelligent.
macinjosh··on Retailers will soon have only about 7 weeks of full inventories left
Politics aside. American big box stores are full of so much junk no one actually needs. It is good for there to be a tax on it. Reducing consumption is great for the environment and our sanity.
macinjosh··on ICE Deports 3 U.S. Citizen Children Held Incommunicado Prior to the Deportation
You are correct. People watch too much TV and think this is out of the ordinary. If the children were kept here we'd be weeping about kids being separated from their parents.
macinjosh··on FBI arrests judge accused of helping man evade immigration authorities
Blah blah blah. I don’t care. They shouldn’t break our rules if they want to live here.

She was a county judge and she helped him escape justice.
macinjosh··on FBI arrests judge accused of helping man evade immigration authorities
That doesn't change the fact that if this man was deported, according to the law, the first time he was arrested (he was previously arrested), then my Mom would be able to make us Thanksgiving dinner again, her favorite thing in the world, or it was.

The whole group is violating the law by overstaying visas or sneaking in the country, etc. Why is all of that OK to just let happen?

macinjosh··on FBI arrests judge accused of helping man evade immigration authorities
I am implying my Mom would still be herself if we were more serious about illegal immigration. Why is that hard to grok?

He had no license to be on that road, much less in the country. Both are privileges, not rights. The fact of the matter is if he had not been allowed to stay in this country when we was previously arrested, my mom would be OK today.

My family got unlucky, but society could have just not gambled on our lives in the first place? We have immigration laws for a reason, why should we ignore when they are violated?

macinjosh··on FBI arrests judge accused of helping man evade immigration authorities
I never said he was not caught. He also left identifying information in his vehicle and had a warrant out for his arrest already.

He got in fight in jail and died before he even got close to facing justice.

macinjosh··on FBI arrests judge accused of helping man evade immigration authorities
A judge literally helped a suspect hide from federal law enforcement. How can you be serious? Judges are supposed to up hold the law not find loopholes for people they like.

Those are a far cry from street drug dealer, not really incriminating yourself if you do that, you're just lying. They don't have codes for illegal activities
macinjosh··on An image of the Australian desert illuminates satellite pollution
It is so polluted you need professional camera gear and processing of hundreds of photos together in order to show it. Get real. Internet access for poor, remote rural areas across the global is more important than convenient timelapse photography.
macinjosh··on Damn Vulnerable MCP Server
Imagine using a hammer that can be set to hit your thumb instead of the nail. That's kinda like using MCP.
macinjosh··on New antibiotic that kills drug-resistant bacteria found in technician's garden
Humans get fat when eating a grain based diet.

Do you know how many animals are killed farming a wheat field? We used to have to purge colonies of prairie dogs each spring in order to plant. Then there are the birds that get caught in the harvesters and the insects killed by the pesticides. It’s a horror show either way.

Tell me about it. My kid has a chronic condition and we always have better luck being seen immediately by her ped in the US for a flair up.

Read the article lady. You be better.

She said with no evidence or argument to present.
macinjosh··on NOAA Weather will delete websites using Amazon, Google cloud services Saturday
No one is getting rid of it? A couple, non-critical websites are being changed up. They will come back online once they are moved off over priced cloud providers. Its called efficiency.

Only because they were caught, and it doesn't help the victims now.
macinjosh··on US Administration announces 34% tariffs on China, 20% on EU
This is expected and normal? Demand for locally sourced goods will skyrocket which means prices should as well. What you are leaving out is that the US is well capitalized and those sky high prices will be a strong incentive for more competitors to join the market. With competition in place prices will eventually fall. Prices will likely never go back as low but at least our fellow countrymen will be employed, housed and hopeful instead of on the streets doing fentanyl.
macinjosh··on US Administration announces 34% tariffs on China, 20% on EU
I can think of at least a dozen reasons but I'll give you one: We are in delicate peace negotiations with Russia _right_ now. There is good reason to isolate all foreign policy decisions with that country to those negotiations. It is called doing more than one thing at a time.
macinjosh··on US Administration announces 34% tariffs on China, 20% on EU
No it doesn't. Trump's whole issue here isn't making more money for the federal government. His issue is that the American economy no longer works for you if you are a blue collar worker.

The services we export are performed largely by white collar, college educated people. A good number of whom are here on H1-B visas. What service can an unemployed factory worker export to Vietnam? We have to end globalization of industry or wealth inequality will just continue to spiral.

macinjosh··on US Administration announces 34% tariffs on China, 20% on EU
All the gigabrains trying to be economists ITT don't understand this is a political move for Trump's base. It is not about what is technically best or the most logical according to the academics. It is an emotional decision more than anything. It stems from the working class in America being given cheap crap from Asia that barely works in exchange for shipping the good jobs overseas to the lowest bidder.

The working class has enough TVs, iPhones, and toys. We want secure housing, good education, healthy food, and an opportunity for promotion in life. Those things can only come with good jobs that are accessible to the whole working class, not just the well educated who make up most of the service economy.

Refutations needed
macinjosh··on French researcher denied entry for a personal opinion on Trump administration
Forever? It's four years and the flip will flop back to the other side. Funny how the rest of the world immediately hates America when we decide we are tired of paying the largest share for the security of Europe for 80 years, or we are tired of our immigration laws being ignored, or we are tired of having our middle class jobs shipped overseas. People only like us for our money, weapons, and jobs. They want the benefits of American culture and capitalism without any of the responsibility.

Its easy to give your citizens free healthcare and college when taxpayers over in America forgo all of that to subsidize your country's security.

macinjosh··on FOSS infrastructure is under attack by AI companies
Whatever happened to terms of use and EULAs? These big companies use them against individuals all the times, why can't small sites state in their Terms of Use or put up a EULA that states no crawling/copying is allowed. Shouldn't that open up avenues to sue?
macinjosh··on Meta goes to arbitrator to prevent whistleblower from promoting tell-all book
The News Agents are political hacks. Not a good source of balanced information.
