yahway··on The Citizen Developer
Including software developers. Mathematicians tops unless the touch something outside code. An engine is literally multiple disciplines in one. I tired of SDs thinking they are engineers without touching hardware.
yahway··on Flock cameras haven't improved Atlanta's crime clearance rates
Hear hear!
yahway··on Google wins bankruptcy auction for Spirit Airlines emails, chats, documents
Doesn't matter. Same as Facebook or any other data hoarder. They use the data to manipulate society. This has always been the problem with personal data as the Red Herring.
yahway··on Engineers will do anything to avoid learning from history
Software developers aren't real engineers; such an ironic title.
yahway··on Foreign-Born Entrepreneurs Drive America's Unicorn Boom
Foreign born people who come from generational wealth can and do exploit'disadvantaged' business enterprises (DBE, MOBE, etc.) I am not tech field but AEC and the amount of businesses that exploit this is insane. It was created for blacks mostly, but used almost exclusively by Indians.
yahway··on Men Who Stare at Walls
John Fogerty used this method to write his early CCR albums. I thought it odd. Maybe I will try this!
yahway··on US, for first time in 50 years, experienced negative net migration in 2025
Is Silicon Valley a success? I would argue it has been an abject failure on culture and society at large. It has generated money for people by stealing every bit of data it can, but that really isnt success but for the few who can put theor fingers on that money stream. It has provided little past doomscrolling and narcissism fodder.
yahway··on Americans no longer see four-year college degrees as worth the cost
Now do the tech industry (high paying American jobs)
yahway··on The right wing is coming for Wikipedia
Can we stop with politically divisive rage articles on a tech forum? I come here to escape political ragism polluting the internetsphere.
yahway··on Restriction on Entry of Certain Nonimmigrant Workers
America got to the moon without H1-Bs. America doesn't need H1-Bs. America just needs a little wake up call, which the H1-Bs did. Now watch things unfold as an informed person.
yahway··on DOJ Deletes Study Showing Domestic Terrorists Are Most Often Right Wing
Your opening statement is opinionated, factually incorrect, and unnecessarily divisive. Murder is not a matter of left or right as it stems from individual pathology, often tied to mental illness. Political affiliation is irrelevant in such cases.

Labeling and name-calling only deepen division and hostility. Conservatism, at its core, has historically meant preserving traditions, though its positions have shifted over time. Similarly, progressive movements have had both positive and negative impacts depending on the era.

I personally refuse to align fully with either side. What I do oppose is the deliberate incitement of hatred through oversimplification and demonization. That kind of rhetoric, not one’s political affiliation, undermines the principles America was built upon.

yahway··on California lawmakers pass SB 79, housing bill that brings dense housing
The problem with ant zoning laws is that they pick winners and losers. They need abolished state-wide to ever have a true affect. Otherwise, these limited pockets get bought up by investors and again, are limited to tiny areas. Abolish it state wide and people will over build and then true affordability will return.
yahway··on CDC officials’ resignation emails
Hypocrisy at its finest.
yahway··on Uncle Sam shouldn't own Intel stock
TSMC was funded by government. The cost requirement for new fabs is beyond the funding private enterprises can muster. Perhaps through funding, years down the road, it may make sense. This isn't about Intel IP, it's about manufacturing high end chips on US soil.
yahway··on U.S. alcohol consumption drops to a 90-year low, new poll finds
>car-centric encourages isolation Not in the slightest, in fact, growing up and just driving around when younger was exactly the peak of socialization. Being in a 15-minute city as a young adult would be horrifying, being exposed to the rampant crime, violent assaults and homeless open air drug use. You got it backwards my man. The proof is in the pudding.
yahway··on JD Vance's team had water level of Ohio river raised for family's boating trip
Does it matter? Something else would be offset just the same.
yahway··on [dead]
Why does it seem here that only White's are racist? Facts point to White's being the least racist. This article is racist.
yahway··on Marines now have an official drone-fighting handbook
《Now
yahway··on Drivers who appeal school speed zone camera fines almost guaranteed to lose
This is the very thing that happened to me. I didn't pay it, and refuse to pay it (The infraction occurred during COVID lockdowns) and my credit got docked for maybe one kr two points in the 850's. Fuck them. The day they impose it on my street we can talk.
yahway··on Meta violated privacy law, jury says in menstrual data fight
<developers Hmmm, what kind of culture is it where the objective is to scam data.
yahway··on Marines being mobilized in response to LA protests
I originally turned to HN to get away from politics, so it's disappointing to see one of the last remaining refuges being overtaken
