News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

SentientAtom

You really need not look any further than this thread for what-about-isms and attack-the-man arguments. The fact Hacker News of all places is going to bat for the RIAA and US Industrial Complex leaves me disappointed. Top comment reads something like "Yea but maybe its time to call it quits", well I guess that's how meaningful fights should end, giving up because the adversity is too great or the fight has lasted too long. Shame.

No because millionaire crime cases are open/shut.

I mean, shit happens. This is a horrible adverse reaction but outliers that have terrible reaction exist with every substance.

Semantics
Dust Egress is pretty tame in terms of environmental impact. Guess they need to mske these pads more remote.
The article makes an error in saying it could be an alternative to an F250, which it can not at all. That said it is a damn good alternative to a side-by-side or Ford Ranger or Chevy S10 for farm use.
Is Jack Ma alive? Thought they took him back im 2021
Horrific to see another business model get put on rails resulting in a lowering of quality. Reminds me of MSN firing their news team and having AI journalists write all the articles. Now you get large walls of text with no overall message that often times are devoid of any conclusions.
Seems there is a psychological effect at play. I imagine a social ritual of standing and reading something that is always in-focus requiring no scrolling is far more appealing.
Imagine voluntarily enrolling in a "click charge" program for residential printing...
You mean not prioritizing the at-risk demographics, or projecting the economic consequences of printing Trillions, or using the populace as a test case for subsidized drugs is not a coherent response strategy?
Lot of fear mongering here, MSN did this years ago and their content is absolutely soulless.

Except it isn't something with a low barrier of entry means of person to person exchanges of value for transactions... The whole point behind crypto currency.
How would we perceive such lateral changes? What would we experience? What clues -- if we are trying to test out this bizarre theory -- should we be on the alert for?

Ah yes, Douglas swinging that Mandella Effect broadsword before it was ever forged. How appropriate!

Programmed in-house, contracted domestically, or outsourced overseas?

That was beautiful, and ugly, and hurtful, and sweet. And it was weighted more in feelings than the breadth of its words. Damn. Thanks.

I reworked many of their xeon server mobos and several of their switches fixing these issues, still prevalent with tech more than ever. And especially so with flat screens that "just stopped working"

Reminds me of the scene in Idiocracy where the main character visits the hospital and the nurse mixes up the oral and anal probes.
They were mostly harmless anyway.

Server Browser added this most recent update, and to MCC a while back.
They need to freeze the crypto holdings until the next bull run.
Your question is just "what is the purpose of the blockchain" but with more words.

My BlackView with FLIR is good for checking electrical circuits and relays.
Re:Mac OS 9 on Tuesday December 06, 2022 @11:41PM (#33890684)
Spent a lot of time restoring candy imacs in p.o.s. applications with OS 9, was always fun getting the PostScript dependencies loaded for Laser-Writers; periphery like plate-makers and Design-Jets, and getting them to see network shares. OS 8, and 9 were both lean as fuck and full of utilities. Back when distros were stable and code was efficient.

What is the deal with juvenile humor in business and government listings? That is an immediate red flag, "derp we're so fun here you're a team player that wants to be part of an inclusive and collaborative family where you can watch your career bloom". Pass.
