SentientAtom··on Kim Dotcom's extradition to the U.S. given green light by New Zealand
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.

SentientAtom··on SpaceX’s Starship Kicked Up a Dust Cloud, Leaving Texans With a Mess
Dust Egress is pretty tame in terms of environmental impact. Guess they need to mske these pads more remote.
SentientAtom··on Rural Americans are importing tiny Japanese pickup trucks
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
SentientAtom··on Amazon shuts newspaper and magazine subscriptions for Kindle and print
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.
SentientAtom··on Amazon shuts newspaper and magazine subscriptions for Kindle and print
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...
SentientAtom··on Covid-19 and other pandemics require a coherent response strategy
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?
SentientAtom··on BuzzFeed says it will use AI to help create content, stock jumps 150%
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?
SentientAtom··on A cab ride I'll never forget (1999)
That was beautiful, and ugly, and hurtful, and sweet. And it was weighted more in feelings than the breadth of its words. Damn. Thanks.
SentientAtom··on Dell Tried to Hide Bad Capacitors Problem 2003-2005 (2010)
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"

SentientAtom··on Mac OS 9
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.
SentientAtom··on New York City hiring top rat killer
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.
