@NoCyclopathTO @6ixbuzztv A US study from 10 or 15 years ago found that if you use a time-value-of-money approach, almost no major road construction every pays back the time lost due to the construction itself.

@adhalejr I find this account fascinating because it reminds me of AI circa March 2026: I would give it a simple directive to update, say, a Python script, and it would run into bugs and end up adding more and more modules and eventually telling me it need to download a new compiler.

@CharlieWalsham_ The BBC really ought to have a word. Yes, they should, but by the standards of BBC presenter malfeasance, being an obnoxious psyclopath is a bit on the tame side.

@NoCyclopathTO @CityNewsTO Why is he working at three different hospitals? 3x the commute of a normal job?

[JHawk @JohnMHawk]

@PendApproval @esrtweet It's still the right way to handle it.

[JHawk @JohnMHawk]

@esrtweet ... mass layoffs and restructuring always cost you some critical people. Either you lay off the one guy who knows how something works, or he quits after because he doesn't trust he won't be in the next tranche of layoffs. Then there's nothing in place to stop a mistake.

[JHawk @JohnMHawk]

@esrtweet I have to think that they have insufficient deployment operations. A Blue-Green, A/B deployment system should catch code failures before they take down everything, and allow fixes to be rolled out without overloading the working servers. I suspect the real problem is...

[JHawk @JohnMHawk]

@PendApproval @esrtweet That's actually the right way to handle it. Keep the service up while you investigate the problem.

@BretWeinstein If Massie is a part of your plan, count me out. He's demonstrated he's just another tool of the system, talking tough to give a veneer of responsiveness, but utterly uninteresting in actually making progress.

@ScipioAfr1canus @DCompanyBookie Shockingly, they don't! Personality is important too. You might want to work on that.

Boomers have enabled the marxist crap by being such effing caricatures of the greedy capitalist stereotype that it's easy for the marxists to make what ought to be an impossible argument. A half ounce of self-reflection on that damn generations part and we would not be here now.

[JHawk @JohnMHawk]

@BradRTorgersen They are a uniquely spoiled and greedy generation.

@ErinDusty @DCompanyBookie Women have evolved... SMFH. Yeah, riiiight. Enjoy your cats.

@realJeremyCarl So Why TF didn't they do this before the elections? Huh? Are they morons? Or traitors? Both?

[JHawk @JohnMHawk]

@BuySideCPA Parody, right? I mean, I'd say it has to be, but you have CPA in your username and these days it's impossible for parody to be more absurd than reality, so...

[JHawk @JohnMHawk]

@givy120 @DCompanyBookie Oh knock it off. You've been programmed to believe nonsense. When men select life partners, personality and loyalty matter more than raw looks. But also, a woman who didn't use her youthful looks to secure a family is already questionable on the personality and loyalty axes.

[JHawk @JohnMHawk]

@iwishyouflop @DCompanyBookie Well, it takes two to tango, and feminism encourages young women to squander their youth and beauty on short term fun instead of using it to secure a quality partner to raise a family with.

[JHawk @JohnMHawk]

@givy120 @DCompanyBookie Are you retarded? This is evaluating "attractiveness", not raw preference. I'm 60. Young women are more "attractive" but I'm not cheating on my wife for one because other things matter more to me.

@barnes_law Reassure top donors... well, there's yer problem right there.
