I'm not defending bailouts of winemakers, but based on my knowledge of the industry, the government would simply be unable to sell the wine at market prices. They would probably need to be sold at a loss.

France has been over-producing low-quality wine for a long time, mostly in the south as referenced in the article. These bottles normally sell for 2-5 euros at retail within Europe. There is a massive amount of competition at this price point.

Also not mentioned in the article is that French wine is falling out of favor in lower price categories. Spanish and Portugese wines are growing in popularity as are so-called "natural" wines.
$38k at 1% interest = $380 per year, forever. Current US Treasury rates are > 5%, meaning > $1900 per year. What is the overlap between people who have $38k disposable, don't realize this, and also think paying $38k for a Wordpress domain lease is a good idea? I can only assume this has to be some weird publicity stunt, which is probably quite clever, because here we are talking about Wordpress.

Something's getting worse in the ad industry. A lot of the newsletters I get show ads done by ,"LiveIntent". I started to see the same 3-4 ads repetitively this past winter. Eventually, I clicked on the triangle on the ads to see if I could notify LiveIntent of the repetition. I was getting newsletters with 5 of 5 ads from "Grunt Style" purveying Qanon slogan clothing. I decided I could notify LiveIntent once per newsletter that I was getting bored of Grunt Style ads featuring copyright violations of The Punisher logo. And I assure you I'm not the target demographic for Qanon related merch. LiveIntent must have seen my complaints because the Captcha got harder. Then they refused complaints from gmail.com addresses, popping up a notice about how they required a business email address. An @mail.ru address worked, however.

Something's very rotten in online advertising.

Christopher Alexander, wrote a famous essay called "A city is not a tree" which talked about how cities emerge, and are not planned top down http://en.bp.ntu.edu.tw/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/06-Alexan...
Anecdotal.

To build the barn on our property, my great grandfather fell trees, cut planks, and assembled it without power or gas tools. One tree made up the entire floor, loft, and feed bunk walls (~8000 sq.ft.) of 2"x12" lumber. He moved that tree roughly 3 miles by himself (with mules). There are tens of thousands of board feet of lumber making up this barn.

What I'm getting at is that this amount of work is just unbelievable. I would never even think of trying it, and he did it in two months. By himself.

So. Take the fact that they had no choice, and it was all they knew, it doesn't seem surprising. Modern life really is much, much easier than it used to be.

Even software engineers are not guaranteed a cushy retirement. Everyone assumes the stock market averages a return of 7-9% per year, but there have been periods of a decade or more where the return was 0 or negative, not just in other countries stock markets, but the US as well. If the stock market, for whatever reason, stays flat for the next even 10 years, which has happened before, it will severely limit even SWE retirement savings by the time they reach 55 1/2 years old. Part of the issue is there are so many limitations to retirement savings. How much you can contribute. Whether you can contribute (if you are not provided a 401k from your employer, you can’t put away anywhere near $20k/year for retirement). Then there’s social security. “Everyone” says that won’t exist in 30 years, so why am I paying into it? Why am I forced to pay into it? I should be able to opt out if I’m maxing out my 401k every year. It’s a broken system to be sure.
This is yet another thing I find particularly disappointing of the "open source era". Linux probably has the best hardware support of all OSes out there, having long surpassed Windows itself. However, no other open OS even comes close. I am now as stuck with Linux as I was stuck with Windows.

I think something has gone wrong with "technological progress" when we building technology which puts large amounts of people into "denial" and "grief".

> Businesses gave mixed results on remote work productivity, with 30% saying it boosted output, and 40% saying it reduced it.

So basically, there's no impact to productivity. Which is the bottom line.

The bigger issue is commercial real estate leases, which often have occupancy requirements imposed by the city to keep area's tax base healthy. See: downtown Portland, downtown San Francisco, etc.

The city needs local businesses to thrive, so the building owner needs the buildings occupied, so the company leasing it needs butts in seats.
Say 50-60 years pass. Wordpress gets acquired by a dodgy company who decides they're OK terminating this deal because they consider the risk of litigation low.

> It seems altogether surprising that with an empty list or tuple a, a[1] results in index error, yet a[1:] quietly returns an empty list or tuple.

`a[1:]` returns the sequence of elements that start at index 1. If there is no such element, the list is empty. I don’t see any good reason why this should throw an error.
> Given how immersed current generations are / have been in the adversarial landscape of the web, should we expect an uptick in the level of generalized adversarialism?

I'm really interested by this question. My initial thought is that most teens and young adults (like previous generations) aren't savvy about computer security and Student XYZ is the exception rather than the norm.

IME, the IRL adversarialism is driven by political/ religious fanaticism rather than a hacker mentality -- they're not tech savvy, they're just determined.

That said, the reality is often less important than the perception of reality, particularly _fear_. Businesses and government are reacting to fears which are outsized to the reality, like Terrorism and School Shootings. They're adopting an adversarial mindset as defenders, even in the absence of an uptick in generalized adversarialism.

> If some employer is paying on-site workers 20% more than the exact same work for the same company remotely, then I'll believe that they truly want people to be on-site

That would effectively mean increasing salary of the current employees that choose to go to the office by 20%. Alternatively, that'd mean reducing salary of current employees that choose not to.

Either way, that seems like a horribly inefficient way to deal with the problem. Most companies choose much more subtle approaches, such as:

0) Stop hiring remote -> build a new workforce that does not expect remote conditions

1) Mandate RTO (just like Meta, Amazon, Google, Apple, and others did)

2) Start putting people who do not respect RTO on PIP, or on some other bullshit process that'll threaten to fire those that do not conform while giving you, the company, enough time to replace them with new hires.

3) Slowly and silently follow through 2) until remote is a thing for <10-15% of the workforce.

This gives the company a number of advantages, such as:

1) Not appearing evil

2) Not dealing with disruptions caused by mass employee exit

Companies that really want RTO don't have to do it in a "big bang" way. Such companies would rather do it silently while telling you how they value your opinions on what the future workplace policy should be.

They'll get away with it IIF point 0 is possible. I hope it is not, but who knows.

> Businesses gave mixed results on remote work productivity, with 30% saying it boosted output, and 40% saying it reduced it.

Given that spread, my guess here is either that their data collection and analysis is bad, or that there are other factors involved in productivity other than just where the worker is located. It is probably a very very very complicated question that is collapsed down into this "work from home: good or bad" way that is the fashion of most (all) business related pseudoscience.

Anecdotally, on the subject of work culture and community, I have a lot of friends I met at old jobs whom I still hang out with. What we bonded over was how much we disliked our customers, managers, and coworkers, and how much goofing off we could get away with in the office. We pushed a lot of chairs down hallways, and took a lot of very long lunches. That's about all I miss from working in the office: the not working part. It is true that I haven't developed similar communities in remote work, but I don't know where that fits in the "community building" argument for RTO.

There is definitely more non-alcoholic consumption in the UK, with the major supermarkets allocating larger sections for AF beer. I don't know about the situation in France, but it would hit exports here in addition to Brexit problems.

I presume you are implying that the folks who aren't going sober will just consume more to offset if prices decrease, but there is going to be a limit to the amount they can.

Exactly. Now they want up the employee to again pick up the costs of 1-2 hours of commuting each day, just to be physically in a meeting room to take a zoom call that they could have taken at home.

Oh, now you have to take hotel seating instead of your own desk and setup, where you have to take whatever equipment is available.

Pay me 20% more and give me a dedicated desk, and I'll go into the office.

There are practical limitations to your personal freedom when so many people depend on you. Even if you want to believe that isn't the case how many potential sponsors, contributors, etc do you alienate with such a stupid idea in a pool of 3M?

That’s definitely a downside of K-12 education.

I always found it depressing that you learned the survey level of US History a half dozen times, each time noticing the inconvenient details filtered out. My favorite whipping boy for this is the Pilgrims, who transition from guys with funny hats who liked turkey and wrapped dead fish around corn to… something else.

One thing to keep in mind is that you don’t know what people actually know, and if they’ve been lured into nostalgia for some wonderful past that doesn’t exist, they get angry. The 1619 project controversy was a great example of that. The notion that people managed their human property like property and that people who escaped that system intermarried with runaway or released indentured servants is a “duh” concept.

All of this underscores why education is important, and why academic freedom is a critical component of it.
To me, it's about how often you encounter these quirks when use the language "intuitively" (very subjective, I know).

I encountered dozens of "JS WTF" when learning without actively trying weird things. It's ultimately on me for not understanding the language better, no argument here, but it feels unintuitive.

And for Python, while I agree with most of cases listed in the repo to be indeed WTF (and a very good resource to learn it deeper!), I don't really encounter most of them naturally, other than the implicit string literal concatenation and default mutable arguments.

This seems like a problem caused because they retained the blue tick at all. Now that they're shedding the old branding, they should drop it completely and create a premium badge.

What was once the blue tick now seems to be the gold tick, and it doesn't just go to insiders, it goes to anybody with $1K a month to pay for it. You can do plenty of account verification for $1K/mo customers.
And many of us don't care all that much about ads, we're mostly opposed to tracking.

It may exists but I think it's very unlikely to maintain a significant market presence. I'm very curious how it's going to fare in the next 10 - 20 years though (I'm building a WordPress-related product and got a bit scared with ChatGPT). Maybe it's not even about WordPress but that the idea of a website as we know it now may become obsolete and most of casual web browsing will be done through an AI chat service. I think there's some chance that ecommerce websites would still exist, that the chat interface would be an inferior interface alternative and only play a supporting role.
Egads that would be something - cars slamming on their brakes going 25 in the city and then blocking traffic is one thing.

now imagine it happens at 70 mph on i5 because a tumble weed blows by, of which I’ve seen plenty, and it takes the company 3 hours for the driver to get out there. Or similar for the usual construction temp lane closer.

Yes, worst case quadratic, but redelivered is not resent. Everything is local to the process.

In fact, I think the save queue is just a high water mark index at the head of the mailbox.

Processing new messages for an existing receive pattern means matching from the end of the mailbox to the HWM.

Redelivering for a new receive pattern means resetting the HWM to 0 and rematching everything.

So potentially quadratic in matching, but no overhead of copying.
