Does partly wrong imply they can both be partly right?

Regardless, within the current system (which is not based on theory and based on reality), we combine these elements, and neither seem to directly benefit certain industries depending on who you're looking at. If it does, these policies may not benefit everyone.

> What gets covered could simply be who a journalist happened to talked to the past week or what is trending on social media that will get clicks.

Do you believe this with regard to what is happening in Israel/Palestine?

The chaos of information and what is truth is only bubbled up when 1) there's very few journalists in the area or 2) all the journalists are being killed or 3) there's no journalists and only special interests.

Consider that even if it was a "narrative" which at this point is controlled by social media, as it stands it seems to be: "these people are evil, they should be killed, sorry not sorry about the babies" or "these people are committing genocide, this bad."

Most thinking people will try not to take current event reporting at face value. For many Americans, it's easy to accept a lot of things your Mainstream Media Source gives you (including NPR or NYTs), and ironically when one of the current themes is to distrust mainstream media.

You can be born into it

i built this toy game using cursor and claude 4. it's a game to help you decide which movie to watch. default shows 90s films bc it's my favorite film era at the moment. but need currently streaming titles, so that's a filter as well. adding more filters should be relatively simple since using TMDB. i'm thinking about adding game rooms (w/ sockets?), and eliminating the need for 2 players (maybe can be any number of players up to 6).

rules of game are:

1. player 1 chooses 3 movies 2. player 2 chooses 3 movies 3. roll dice, doubles chooses the n selected movie

would love feedback! maybe someone has built this before?

I read both twice, once in high school and again a few years after I graduated (this was over 15 years ago). I loved The Great Gatsby even more (that opening first page is magnificent), and couldn't help but feel like The Catcher in the Rye as being so incredibly naive and juvenile. The latter experience is similar to reading (or watching) Fight Club and thinking Tyler Durden is a hero of sorts and something to aspire to, which is not the ultimate lesson.

bukowski wrote over 5,000 poems. he was bound to have some good ones and plenty of bad ones. also had a couple o' good novel/a hits.

They published a book that I purchased when I was first learning CSS. Truly a different era.

Can you... provide the prompts? Because I have a hard time believing this.

I have tried the hand holding approach with Cursor. It doesn't work for me. I have to constantly correct and over correct. Getting auth working sounds insane to me.

Ah, for some reason, this is the comment that reminded me specifically of Nietzche's Master-Slave Morality[1].

I would prefer good people get rich and bad people don't.

Cool. What do financials/shares look like? How does the company grow from just 6-8 people? I'm curious because this is what I've always wanted to start. I know that worker-owner/member orgs can exist at scale as well (Mondragon is one example) but the internals and growth is fascinating to me.

Hard to say when there is a profit motive for all industries. Seems like every industry at the moment is not really looking for human advancement, or maybe it is looking at advancing but only if the results are expensive for end users and efficient/proprietary for the company.

you think it's a total non sequitur but im just asking what i think is a simple question: whether that logic is applied fairly and accurately within the context of being a world superpower. otherwise you just end up potentially looking like a hardline racist parrot to some readers.

i could not find a source for this anywhere on the internet after trying multiple queries.

Just curious, do you apply this same logic to US government and history? What kind of evils get prescribed to the so called democratic land of the free?

We use this library when a person qualifies for something. It's a neat effect to our onboarding flow.

If you want a video series that accomplishes a lot of the content in these books it's Will Sentance's Javascript: The Hard Parts.

Haha, yeah. I have a side story about working in construction with my dad. He was a home builder and was helping to build out a line of new apartments. It was very straightforward work -- he did the tile in the kitchen and bathrooms. I was his helper. He was excellent at it. All the buzzwords inclusive of efficiency and quality. It was fulfilling work to me and I had a sense of pride working alongside my dad. I made $10/hour, $80 a day.

Now I work in FinTech. The fulfillment is different, sometimes it's good. But I reflect on this time often. I own a small home now and my dad comes around to help me fix or remodel stuff. I'm handier now because of those experiences -- I think I do find a little more fulfillment when working with my hands. I also find myself in my garden more often which brings a little more joy than my day job. Perhaps it's just balance.

I have been thinking about how I (and many others) go to work for a corporate job that has ultimately no meaning in life just to be able to get paid to provide for a family that i only get to hang with on saturday and sunday and if i'm lucky 2 weeks straight out of the year. am i alive?

Why? Why is this a thing?

..."and destroy a wide variety of aerial threats"...

Okay, but what/who is the root problem that created this company to solve this issue? The either real or perceived threats that the United States and its media affiliations have concocted has really put a tamper on its own ability to make policy decisions that benefit its own peoples. We are spending BILLIONS of dollars on wars in other countries WHILE neglecting our own. Why do we need another private company help with this?

Another question for a separate answer: why can't we spend that money on domestic issues?

This is very true. I think part of the issue is that there's an element of critical thinking skills that you would hope to eventually acquire _AS_ you continue to listen to any attributed public intellectual. Otherwise you can go your whole life reading Christopher Hitchens from when he was a great rhetorician and contrarian of US foreign policy to his transformation of racist war-mongering anti-theism days.

Wow I have been doing this subconsciously for YEARS

What's the next question then? Curious to know if any of these screening caught cancers at various stages and if there is a correlation to better long term prognosis.

I have been using React for almost those 10 years. When I first started out, I was writing Java for Android. I then got a contract position writing AngularJS 1.2. A couple years later, Angular 2 would be released but by then I was already beginning to write small React apps. I also made a small app with React Native for an audio company. By 2016 I was working at a popular Fortune 100 company on the first team to migrate their existing JSPs to React. By the time I left that place, React Hooks were in beta and gaining steam. I was lucky enough to work with a Facebook Alumni who hated React, so we used Vue. It felt like a more opinionated React in some cases, but I really enjoyed the experience. Now I'm back to React and a lot of the same problems exist. Some things are just hard or extremely tedious to do. Some places rely heavily on external libraries which cause so much bloat to the system it can feel slow (even when it's not). Most places I have been to are extremely opinionated about how their app is built, despite it being the same thing (for example, there are 20 different ways to build an e-commerce site). But the places I have enjoyed the most had a hackerish culture, so people weren't insanely opinionated so long as you got the job done, which I feel like React is great for. I have unfortunately not used NextJS, but I have used Nuxt which has been wonderful. I'm semi in between jobs right now and have been looking at potential offerings, and I haven't seen a huge need for these frameworks yet. If NextJS is anything like Nuxt, I think I'd be happy to work in them. But I may also look for the places that offer a completely new experience.

Ah, that's a bummer. You can always hit me up (contact in profile)!

About 8 years ago I tried working with Wordpress and half built a site for my then boss's portfolio bc he insisted he wanted it.

I just quit my last job which was a RoR/React shop. I've been working with NodeJS and JS frameworks for the past 10 years. I never really got into PHP.

Now, I'm working in PHP again and specifically making Wordpress sites for a non profit agency as a contractor. It has been a joy. In particular, we're using root.io with Valet and heavily relies on root's version of Laravel blade system which makes building websites super fast and seamless and I've gotten a lot of satisfaction building things this way.

You can also have the best-in-class health insurance and flat out be denied coverage for whatever reason the insurance provider says.

I believe you can Google "landlord history" and you'll get a plenty of results with some brief history of the term.

If you want to read further, look at history on colonization or apartheid which sets up these types of infrastructures or variations of it. History w/ Native Americans and what is going on in Israel are two recent/ongoing examples.

As for pre-capitalist history, you can look up "feudal land tenure", and before that is just different concepts of modes of land ownership across different geographies.

All throughout history, it is usually another society who comes in and takes an already occupied land by force and then charges a fee for the previous people to continue using it. Then there are complex laws set up to make it impossible for these previous people's to own their land again, becoming indebted in one way or another. After a while, after this land has been transferred, typically amongst the families of those who first took the land (or their friends), some people forget this history or are ignorant of it, and just go along with what has been done for years. Inevitably, those with the excess monetary value gained from rent is used to expand and establish these kinds of societal institutions so that it is part of the zeitgeist and thus a controversial take to think this kind of institution is an immoral, or bad, or exploitative one.
