There's almost always an iframe solution for your industry, no matter what you're selling online. If you're selling accommodation, it's Sirvoy. If you're selling events it's TicketTailor, if you're selling restaurant tables or food delivery, there's countless iframe solutions. For other things, there's Shopify and more. There's always a better iframe alternative to Wordpress, that is easier to develop, easier and cheaper for the client, easier for the customer, and safer from hacking. Usually without any maintenance at all.

Or if you're really making some big time e-commerce stuff, then you're better off with bespoke solutions than something hacked together with WordPress.

1. It has to be 20k in the state. And they might get an exception for dish cost, at least right now.

2. I don't see anything that affects who they offer service to, so no mandatory expansion.

3. No, because that's silly.

4. I don't see a mechanism for that.

5. It doesn't mention caps. I would expect latency problems to get punished as improper service.

6. Why would that happen? That seems like quite a small edge case.

Good. System architecture aside, the UX alone was a disaster. Less discoverable, more layers of menus.

Plus flaky pairing and system discovery (from iPhones, at least). Wife’s new iPhone couldn’t connect, even though my older iPhone was running the same app version just fine.

It was bad enough I bought HomePods for the bedroom to replace the Sonos 1s we’d used for years. I still have them in another room, just someplace that they don’t get used as often.
HFCS is made by enzymatically converting glucose in corn syrup to fructose, so it stands to reason that the product can have any glucose:fructose ratio needed. Since humans categorically taste fructose as sweeter than glucose, it makes sense that HFCS is tuned differently for different applications and in situations where the ratio is very far away from 1:1 I do contend that HFCS could taste different than sucrose. Perhaps it was unwise for me to assume that most HFCS used is close to the 1:1 ratio of sucrose.

Saying you don't need blind tests when discussing tastes, and including Coke in the discussion, is rather interesting. Specifically, they are the case study for people preferring a taste in tests, but massively rejecting it by name.
> The vague notion of "national wealth" obscures the staggering wealth inequality that also is unique with respect to the current moment in human history, as does many of the theoretical parameters or models invoked by many economists or journalists in arguments like these.

I would like you to post numbers. "National wealth" is not a vague notion, it's the product of lots of government workers doing a lot of statistics. Some of those statistics are target specifically at the bottom quintile or decile of income or wealth (they are vastly different).

Income for the bottom 10% is rising. Wealth for the bottom 10% is rising. Gen Z is unprecedentedly rich at this point in their lives, relative to past generations. The reason why the American middle class has shrunk is mostly because the upper class has grown. The third link below has a graph that highlights why this is a GOOD THING.

I don't doubt that quality-of-life has declined for a lot of people - but those people are a minority and the data does not support anything else. Most of their pain is almost certainly housing prices, which have been the Great Sin of the Democratic party and notably have very little to do with federal policy.

If you want to talk about vague notions, let's talk about "wealth inequality." Most of these takes are bad because that's not how the stock market works. Elon Musk cannot go out tomorrow and buy $3XXB of stuff. He probably cannot even come CLOSE to realizing the full paper value of his net worth in cash. None of the world's rich can. Yet there is a daily, breathless headline about wealth inequality that waves those dollar figures around like they're real.

Stop disregarding on actual, economic data in favor of hyperbolic headlines about wealth inequality.

Those would have been CTO decisions or at least recommendations as to the technical merits of the change, not the fault of the CEO.

Now if the CEO made the change for other reasons (usually financial, such as customer subscription lock-in) despite the technical downsides (which should have been presented by the CTO), then yes, in that case the blame would primarily fall to the CEO.

I would think if you aren't trying to develop a brand then you may as well just make the blog private.

I love keeping a blog as my own private journal. I wouldn't want it public though because I can keep it as unstructured/messy as I want with it being private. Mostly a collection or random notes / thoughts / code that I wouldn't want a potential employer to get an impression of me from.

It has huge value to me. The value of reading someone else blog at this point is basically zero to me. Mostly throw away, surface level articles for branding and networking purposes but if that is the dance you are trying to learn then it makes sense.
> So what, specifically, led to WP Foundation choosing to ask WP Engine to pay for the services they are using?

That isn't what happened. The for-profit company Automatic asked for money, and then used their CEO's exclusive control of the non-profit foundation to punish their direct competitor.

It would be an entirely different thing if this was part an initiative to charge commercial users of WordPress.org for the costs they incur the non-profit foundation to stabilize it's funding. Such a thing could have been handled professionally without threats of "nuclear" retaliation.

> But being a jerk isn't a crime and doesn't forfeit your rights

Being a jerk isn't a crime, but it does broadcast a lack of professionalism and mental stability. Those aren't great traits to see in and individual who has unilateral control over infrastructure that you depend on. Those are extremely concerning traits when that individual has demonstrated a willingness to use that control to pursue personal vendettas in childish ways.

The problem the community is facing is that Matt is a weak, single point of failure. To re-establish trust given Matt's actions here, the non-profit needs to no longer be under his control, but under that of an independent board of directors.

I don’t think you could quite do that in RRT2, but it wasn’t too hard to abuse the system.

The article mentions that the trains are just representative and in-game journeys can take over a year. What you do is, as soon as the game starts, spend every penny of your company’s money on the longest line you can afford, with one train hauling the most valuable cargo. Try to make it take a little over a year to arrive. As the individual you’re playing, sell all of your company’s stock.

Ongoing maintenance costs will quickly put your company in the red. By the time the end of the year comes around, your company is basically bankrupt, and the terrible fiscal report will devastate your stock price.

Now buy all of your company’s stock practically for free. Proceed to the next year, where your train soon arrives, your cargo pays off handsomely, the debts are more than paid, and your company is on a very healthy position with a very healthy stock price. Enjoy the rest of the game with a substantial personal fortune you can pour into your company if you want to focus on building, or use to wreck competitors if you’re up for that.

I think the term woke is a clear and unambiguous term. I find it surprising people consider it a slur / empty insult. I consider it a substantive characterization of people and acts that reflects a genuine disagreement.

To me, as the right uses it, the term woke refers to people or movements prioritising signalling virtue (e.g., policing the words people use) over actually improving the world. One clear instances of it was the spate of scrapping standardized testing (despite this scrapping actively harming rather than helping the disenfranchised).
Thanks for the spell correction!

I wouldn't really consider myself "above" them, just more inclined to exercise rational thought.

Stupid is almost never a result of physical disability, or even lack of ability, it's almost always a willful lack of mental discipline.

A multi-decade career in electronic h/w and s/w dev and debug required facing the difference between theory and reality. This required getting over preconceived ideas and facing the facts. Most people never have such experiences, and don't care to.

Also worth noting: The difference between theory and reality, is that in theory they're the same, but in reality they're not...

Agree. I think Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance encapsulates the art of troubleshooting the best. Especially the concept of "gumption traps",

"What you have to do, if you get caught in this gumption trap of value
rigidity, is slow down...you're going to have to slow down anyway whether
you want to or not...but slow down deliberately and go over ground that
you've been over before to see if the things you thought were important
were really important and to -- well -- just stare at the machine. There's
nothing wrong with that. Just live with it for a while. Watch it the way you
watch a line when fishing and before long, as sure as you live, you'll get a
little nibble, a little fact asking in a timid, humble way if you're interested in
it. That's the way the world keeps on happening. Be interested in it."

I don't find that to be true and I find your own rationale to be its own sort of performative moralism. Many normal people feel this way and it isn't to appease MAGA or Trump or whatever, including myself and many people I know who have been and/or are lifelong leftists. It is not impossible or even unlikely that people in higher positions developed these feelings on their own accord. I'm not saying your statement is always untrue, but it denies the people you're writing about much agency.

I think that what's happening is that people on all levels are now more comfortable in saying what they actually think or believe rather than saying things to avoid busting arbitrary social rules.
In hindsight I should have said that HFCS produced with a fructose:glucose ratio of 1:1 wont taste different than sucrose. It's evident that HFCS can and is often produced with much different ratios and can be anything from pure glucose to pure fructose, both of which would taste obviously different.
In the US, both the Left and the Right have been taken over by their more fringe elements. For now, the Right has won.

Left strategy has been terrible for years. That's one of the consequences of the Woke movement. Far too much political capital was expended on niche issues.
Gays are 3% of the US population. Trans are 0.3% of the US population. Can't win an election catering to those groups. Too few votes.
(See Sex in America, the Definitive Study,[1] which selected their survey group randomly across the whole US and followed up with mailed, in person, and paid interviews, until they got >90% participation. Most other surveys have some degree of self-selection of the participants.)

Occupy Wall Street never came up with a political agenda.
Black Lives Matter had a huge agenda, and one of the groups claiming to be in charge had a document over a hundred pages full of demands. Nobody was pushing hard on worker protections or labor law enforcement - not cool enough, but affects a big fraction of the population. Nobody was pushing to break up monopolies that raised prices, even in apartment rentals and health care where collusion has been proven.

This lack of focus lost elections.

The Right agenda is basically tax cuts for the rich, plus God, Family, and Guns. That's enough to form a majority.

So here we are.

> For me, it sparked the insight that wokeness parallels the rise and fall of the attention economics, with the premise that attention is the real bottleneck in social justice.

This was mostly my reading too. Maybe more cynical, but I walked away thinking that wokeness itself isn't good for business unless you are in the business of selling rides.
"High fructose" corn syrup is "high" in fructose relative to normal corn syrup. Table sugar is naturally high in fructose already. The corn syrup you're suggesting is used in baked goods has less fructose than table sugar does.
SNL seemed like sophisticated adult humour back when I still had a bedtime. I can rewatch old Kids in the Hall and SCTV sketches and laugh my ass off. Most classic SNL sketches from the 80s and 90s however seem juvenile to me now.
Police funding was cut significantly after the financial crisis and is only just being restored to pre-GFC levels:

The number of reported sexual offences has increased by double digits over the last reporting period, and did the same in the last one:
https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeand...

There are a variety of factors at play behind the rise in reports, including high profile cases such as the abduction, rape and murder of Sarah Everard by a serving police officer, in addition to massive coverage of historic sexual abuse by public figures like Jimmy Savile. There have been multiple high profile campaigns for women’s safety encouraging them to come forward and report cases of sexualised violence.

So despite the police force certainly allocating more resources to deal with these cases, the increase outstrips this. In addition, sexualised violence is notoriously difficult to prosecute beyond a reasonable doubt due to the ‘he said she said’ nature of a lot of the evidence and the delay in many of the victims coming forward.

Your point about immigration has a simple answer; it’s not a factor. This talking point serves to take very real social problems the country faces and use them to score political points by distorting the facts.

Case in point the grooming gangs scandal which was painted as a Pakistani muslim problem when it turns out Asians are UNDERrepresented and whites are actually OVERrepresented in the actual figures (88% of offences were committed by whites with them making up 83% of the population, south asians committed 7% of offences while making up 9% of the population)

You know, it’s fine as well, when there’s a point to it. In this case we have a fairly well written article giving some interesting context around cargo cults, but certainly nothing that contradicts the central idea around the metaphor, and no injured parties AFAICT. So that’s a no.
It's also funny when people decry fructose and point to honey as the healthy alternative when it has more fructose than corn syrup.

So if someone only uses woke to mean "being aware of and attentive to important social issues" it is easy for the to wake away with the impression that PG painted their concerns as overblown.

Well, you're in trouble to begin with if you're making a case about "high fructose" corn syrup compared to sucrose, because they have essentially the same fructose content; it's "high fructose" compared to normal corn syrup, not to table sugar.

If you're going to be making comparisons like this, you should be clear about which HFCS you're referring to. Is it HFCS 55, which is 5% higher in fructose than sucrose is? Or is it HFCS 42, which is 8% lower? If you look this up online, you'll see it summarized roughly as "food: HFCS 42, soda: HFCS 55". If that's the case: none of this matters; caloric soft drinks are poison regardless of how you sweeten them.
The risk of fire has clearly massively increased thanks to climate change. California's rules literally dont allow them to charge prices that account for this. California has an insurance plan of last resort that is now billions underwater, which is a clear sign of the issues at play.

Its not that these insurance companies are screwing their customers; rather at the rates that California requires they charge, these houses should not exist because they are a net negative to society unless their insurance costs more.

I agree on the dense housing. So many of these burns are in areas that we shouldn't have built.

Classic BASIC does have typing, it just shoves it into the variable name. E.g. X$ is a string, X% is a 16-bit signed integer, and X# is a double-precision floating point number.

This started with $ for strings in Dartmouth BASIC (when it introduced strings; the first edition didn't have them), and then other BASIC implementations gradually added new suffixes. I'm not sure when % and # showed up specifically, but it was already there in Altair BASIC, and thence spread to its descendants, so it was well-established by 1980s.
OP puts up a straw man that criminal harassment is any trivial slight in the eye of the alleged victim. However, for an instance of harassment to be criminal harassment, the perpetrator must [1(b)] know their behaviour is harassment. Morever, if perpetrator is behaving reasonably, then it's not harassment [3(c)].

Section 7 is also key to statutory interpretation. 7(b) gives persuasive examples (you had not seen these and so called section 1 tautological). Morever, 7(3) means that the criminal offence only applies to repeat offenders.
I'm guessing people commenting on UPnP vs mDNS implementation are mostly referencing this post https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-happened-sonos-app-techn...

But it wasn't just a move from UPnP to mDNS with everything else remaining the same. They also moved to HTTP/WebSocket instead of UPnP eventing, added encryption.

While most complaints in this thread about the app all say "it's sluggish", with the initial release of S2 many had their systems that worked perfectly fine with S1 undiscoverable with S2. At the time all the advice on Sonos forums, Reddit, etc was "First check your router and make sure mDNS isn't disabled". Which caused a lot of people to have a kneejerk reaction of "wtf is this mDNS shit and what was wrong with the "old reliable UPnP"
