This is absolutely the meaninh of these epic lines.

I keep a portrait of the great Eugene Debs on my mantle for the purpose of encouraging people to ask me about him.

>they were sharing credentials, which is against every IT security policy ever

You’d like to think so, but...

Do you have any tips on how to maintain a developer's own knowledge base in Obsidian? I also use Obsidian but I currently use as more of a dumping ground.

like nuclear

The decline of meritocracy makes the lottery a rational last-ditch source of hope for the impoverished working class. Without hope, they die. See: deaths of despair.

The apologists for this sort of thing are every bit as disgusting as those presiding over it.

Kotlin is such a lovely language, and I really like that it was made by JetBrains because that means I can count on a top notch IDE/development experience.

>Growing a garden on someone else’s land is dumb

Exactly. Landlords should not exist.

Thanks. This is a good point. I don’t remember experiencing films that way. I actually struggled to even follow storylines in films when I was younger, so I don’t think I ever got immersed as described.

You can exchange BTC all you want, but if you exchange (verb) it then it’s no longer BTC. Likewise, if it’s sitting on an exchange (noun) then it’s not BTC.

Normally I would have sympathy but if you post on HN then I have trouble taking it seriously that you can’t figure this out. How could it possibly be any more obvious?

Exchange users are the only ones who cannot withdraw their funds. Bitcoin users can always withdraw their funds.

You absolutely do NOT see real life through a lens. This is one of the first things you learn in film school.

I am a filmmaker. I went to film school. Maybe that has something to do with it?

I cannot recommend enough a book called In The Blink Of An Eye by Walter Murch.

> Every time I see a 555 number in a movie, I'm reminded that it's a movie and am dropped out of immersion.

What about a cut? A camera zoom? A title screen? Sub-titles? I am intrigued about how you experience films.

Disagree. There are surprisingly few actual conservatives in the American ruling class, which is why the Democratic Party is statistically the party of the rich. I think your definition of “conservative” is something closer to “person I don’t like.”

For the record, I don’t support American liberals or conservatives, who both waste too much time avoiding confrontation with the root problem: capitalism.

Right. They seem to think that the aggregate of women could be made happier even while the aggregate of men are made miserable.

Sounds exactly the same as what parent is warning about to me

A close friend just moved across the country and back because what he thought would be his dream teaching job turned out to be laced with dramatic and patently insane identity politics as described. He is himself a socialist passionate about helping poor working class people, but his coworkers were snotty out-of-touch liberals with no conception of class divisions at all. They were intent on dividing society along gender lines.

It is not narrow. It is the realist definition of the word and the most common definition throughout history. Some phrase it differently but the meaning is the same.

They do if they have a monopoly on violence. Whether or not your favorite state acknowledges another state is a different question. And of course once a state is defeated, it ceases to be a state.

I love this!

It’s terrifying how many people lack an understanding of what a state entails. For anyone reading and wondering, a state (not to be confused with a government) is defined as a monopoly on violence. It’s literally that simple, but the repercussions are immense.

London is south

It is ideal for the ruling class, and they aren’t asking anyone else.

The EU does not force the US to do anything.

In other words, China increased its nuclear power production

Same here. I severely undervalued upgradability when I made that decision.

I recently discovered https://kinto.sh and it’s amazing, so now that Framework has official TB4 support I’m ordering a Framwork today.

Identity politics are antithetical to Marxism. Marxists focus on class.

Women are far more likely to have big phones because they are more likely to carry it in a purse.

Based on the title alone, I couldn’t take that book seriously.
