Maintaining corporate capture of the political and socio-economic structures requires management capture by talented jerks to continuously deliver for stockholders short-term results that forsake everything else. However, like most anarcho-

I was just watching the blancolirio channel (a 777 pilot), who previously brought up the 737NG pickle fork crisis that the mainstream media isn't reporting on. Combined with the 737 Max and 2010 737NG Ducommun critical structural parts

Update: Air conditioner blasting in case it gets hot later. Power is still on as of 11:25 am, but who knows if/when PG&E is going to turn it off. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ EDIT: Still on as of 1:03 pm, it doesn't seem like PG&E is go

You're not thinking of the CBP's job and the effort delta of a traveler with ID and one WITHOUT. The latter probably triggers all sorts of additional checks, paperwork, and hassles for everyone involved.

15 years ago, I brought back a suitcase full of pirated DVDs and knockoff purses. Most people are better off declaring uncontroversial minimums on declarations forms rather than naively being "too honest" because they're goin

Most computer dictionaries are mostly just obsolete jargon shovelware... they just copy&paste and don't really understand what they're printing over and over again.

In recent PSPSes, they didn't send notifications about the possibilities of or the imminence of the power shutoff. They were turning off the power here during the night/early morning between around 11 pm - 3 am.

You have to wonder how much money the corporations are funneling into politicians' pockets (legislative, executive, judicial and law enforcement) and institutional pressure from finance/accounting people to bring in funding sooner

Tens of thousands of people who live in SF pay way too much % of their income to stay in housing they cannot afford, and so don't save enough for the future. Common sense fail.

Another story that has not been told is how gifted students in America are inventoried and tracked with IQ tests and other supposed "resource" programs. The GATE program in California is just one example of a dual-purpose, duplici

Yep. And YARA lives at /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/yara.framework I had a problem a few years ago with YARA consuming all CPU time while on battery and never finishing whatever it was doing.

On macOS, see also: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/yara.framework man yara PS: I wish VirusTotal had a high-rate, free API that could used as the basis for local endpoint scanners.

Fact: most Americans, much less Californians, don't understand the nuances between communism, socialism, and Marxism. America has been anti-socialism since at least 1919 in the era of the First Red Scare. Heck, Oklahoma was a hotbed of

Incomes on social media are highly skewed power-law distribution. PieDiePie/Logan Paul make millions while everyone else makes pennies.

YT algorithms suppress anything that doesn't support advertisers, a neoliberal viewpoint or the tastes of the viewer... this leads to personalized filter-bubbles that doesn't expose the viewer to controversial, unpleasant facts, o

The mainstream media is like a Diebold voting machine... it's easier to not measure what you're not going to fix. PSA to future anonymous whistleblowers: don't engage the NYT or you are now more likely to be unmasked.

I refuse to install iOS 13.0 because it's so buggy, and refuse to install Catalina because all it does is take away features rather than adding value. They can't seem to stop to fix what's already broken, so they add a few th

Nearly every week without fail, random people email me to ask random/dumb questions about projects I have on Github that are clearly marked Read Only/Archived. It's not worth my time to respond to assinine, pointless emails.

Actually, the value of degrees can often go to epsilon in 20 years because of rampant, under-recognized ageism. As one anecdotal example, I worked at a Stanford department within School of Medicine where several full-time employees conspire

Thank you for flagging. They are one notch away from the ilk of InfoWars (Alex Jones) and Danger & Play (Mike Cernovich). What sucks is that HN publishes to the feed APIs before flagging/moderation happens, polluting aggregators an

Yep. High CEO salary, especially in startups, is a big red flag. Typically, C-suite/founders in startups should be paid enough to live on or $0 if they're already rich.

Infosys and TCS remind me of Uber and Lyft: business models based on magical thinking-rooted exploitation. Engineers need to form their own worker-owned consultancy co-ops and eschew corporations to capture more of the wealth they generate
