Tough to say without being Hopi. There are many things they cannot share unless you’re Hopi. Same with other tribes. Curious, what did the linguist say exactly?

I had family that worked at a news paper back before the boom of the internet, and something that most people nowadays don’t seem aware of is that even then, most news papers relied heavily on something called the Associated Press (AP). If you ever read a news paper and saw the symbols “(AP)”, this meant that the story was picked up from “the wire”. That wire was reference to telegraph technology from the 1800s, and it carried a plethora of stories submitted from associate news papers around the US. Given the distributed nature of “biases”, it is considered collectively to be “in the middle”.

Going deeper in terms of analysis, in the US, the PBS news hour is the highest quality.

Internationally, I read Reuters which seems similar to how the AP works, but I don’t have anything to compare it to.

For me, what was great back then were splash pages. The more creative your splash page, the better. It was l33t if someone centered their site, like one would center their splash page. This site does that.

Interesting, I understand now thanks to your reply and a couple others. I’ve been living in an interpreted echo system for too long (nodejs, python) I suppose, so I was looking through a runtime-focused lense where Docker shines so the word choice seemed radical. This is a cool project, thank you for taking the time to respond!

I worked briefly years back on a web app at AA that provided the scheduling features for flight staff that this app provides. I didn’t see what happened to it in the end, but reading the app’s feature list, it sounds like that app plus social elements and weather. From scraping, which is scary IMHO.
