mjs33··on There is no more Perl at JP Morgan

mjs33··on Ask HN: Intellectually simulating Podcasts/conversations/Talk
No Agenda by former MTV VJ Adam Curry and former PC Mag columnist John C. Dvorak! http://www.noagendashow.com/ They do media deconstruction and discuss stories the media can’t talk about. They have no advertising and use a fascinating “Value for value” model, people donate based on the value the podcast gives them instead of monthly subscriptions (like Patreon), for some it’s $5, others it’s $500, and for some it’s $0
mjs33··on On WD Red NAS Drives
Did the text get cut off? All I read was some corporate PR nonsense, did I miss the real content? Never buying WD drives again!

mjs33··on An Update from Robinhood’s Founders
Their DNS system failed? How?! Unless DNS stands for “Do Not Sell”
mjs33··on Year Without a Summer
Finally a real, cheap solution for climate change!!!
