There is not much competition in most neighborhoods in NYC, only in the nicer (more wealthier) neighborhoods. This is badly needed for this city.

>> First, foster competition.

The ISPs don't really compete. They lock in certain areas and then harvest it over the years.

>> it's not uncommon for a residency to have effectively a single option for ISP.

Same here. My building has options for Verizon FIOS and Charter/Spectrum and I count myself lucky. Thats usually not the case. In many places I've rented you're stuck with one provider.

>> Second could the government offer public internet?

A municipal ISPs proposal would be challenged in the courts by these ISPs. This scheme is less invasive to the marketplace than that, no?

>> Only as a last resort...

Yes - thats why its happening imho.
Compare this to California regulating how much insurance companies can charge. IN that case, its lead to horrendous side effects where insurance companies are leaving the state, dropping customers, etc because they will literally lose money on the policies, which has lead to bad outcomes. Id rather that the state actually pay for the things it wants and not put in a bunch of hidden taxes that have strong distortions on principle.

Used to be we just called people who went overboard promoting their beliefs assholes, or zealots, or ideologues. So many perfectly descriptive words. You'll never want for a synonym to avoid excess repetition.

Why take a perfectly good, specific, and useful word like woke and wrap it up in all this?
There is nothing “bad faith” about appropriating an evocative term to label ideologically connected ideas. It’s like how the left uses the term “capitalism.”

In the last few years, we have seen corporations and universities push for race-conscious hiring and promotion decisions, while schools are putting kids in racially segregated affinity groups. These are obviously ideologically related efforts. It’s perfectly fine for opponents of these efforts to group them together under the label of “woke.”
Automattic vs. WP Engine will be ultimately decided in court but this sort of reminds me of Google LLC v. Oracle America, Inc.[0] when Oracle got mad because of Google cashing out hard with Android. It's all about money for Matt....not about WordPress or open source community.

In legal terms, that is not entirely correct. In practice, it is however. For now.

EU (which is not the whole of Europe) has regulation that allows a copyright owner to opt out of data mining for AI training.
But the framework is incomplete: there does not exist a generally agree-upon method to actually opt out. There are a few protocols and file formats from a couple of organisation but none which has been given any official status. While a publisher may use one, a web scraper might support only another.

Japan has traditionally been quite strict on copyright law. I would not be surprised if the law would get tightened to explicitly disallow AI training on copyrighted works.

Both characterizations actually mean the same thing and you said it in your description of the person on the left.

Right, sampling from a model, also known as *inference* (for LLM's).

The inference here is perhaps less pure than what you refer to but you're talking to human beings; there's no need for heavy pedantry.
You're right, but I don't think he's interested in the term. He's interested in the social phenomenon that (briefly) appropriated the term before the other side started using it as a negative.
For a use like you describe, I'm currently accomplishing that with a mix of various Google/Nest speakers & screens throughout the house, arranged into a few different groups. What would make Sonos a better option?

Lol, this is like every bad stereotype about the general quality of WordPress websites: "Getting rid of a checkbox is too technically complicated, so let's just change the text instead to something completely nonsensical."

I actually find your explanation even less believable than this being a symptom of a crazy person (which I don't necessarily believe it is either).
Did you mean you don't understand the equations/theory, or are having difficulty applying the concepts to design circuits?

In the first case, install LTSpice (free from Analog Devices), and head here to run down the basics:

And in the latter, go though common basic designs analyzing how they work:

Then try your own designs combining properties of several designs. Start with simple blinkers and buzzers at first... Try to avoid Arduino designs until you've done a few 555, transistor, and opamp circuits first. =3
> "late stage capitalism"

The term is 100 years old and was created to refer to everything after WWI. I don't think people using the term would actually subscribe to the idea that human development under capitalism peaked in the 1910s.

Furthermore, the entire concept was developed as a justification for the Nazi party and their economic ideas. Which I think is justification enough that people should stay away from lazy, doomy political tropes.

>"any recurring taxes and fees such as recurring rental fees for service provider equipment required to obtain broadband service and usage fees.

Where I am (outside NY) low income broadband is a thing, and the taxes and fees are included in the $15/~$25 a major telecom provider offers. The alternative provider to them advertises a $20 month special, but when you check into it the taxes and fees for that provider add on about 100% to the bill. Advertised mbps in the US, is sort of another sorely needed conversation.
So I got into a random Youtube binge-watch a while back, and a lot of this rings true.

Yes, there's a lot of neat animation stuff, some quirkiness, some awkward "omg lulz I'm so random" excess, but ultimately the series does not communicate well with the audience. At first I wondered if the liminal state of confusion was intended in viewers, but it just kept going.

It isn't a side-effect of "Rule of Cool"--as author notes, even some characters' own motivations are contradictory or at least frustratingly opaque.
Pretty much any billionaire I can name has taken an "anti-woke" stance: Musk, Trump, Thiel, Graham, Zuckerberg, Andreesen, Ramaswamy... Money is definitely not on the side of the "woke", whoever they may be.

I don't think there's any disagreement about that particular aspect of what kicked this all off (in terms of being incensed about an imbalance of contributions to money being made) - it's the _way_ he went about that, _then_ all the subsequent WPDrama that unfolded (personal attacks, unilateral cancellations, removals, blockages, deletions etc) that has most people concerned.

I've been around WordPress since 2003 (since the fork from B2/Cafelog) and have watched Matt evolve over that time, make a few missteps, act/react with humility, speak conscientiously on a wide range of matters and issues. The actions of the past 12 months seem quite contrary to that established behaviour (speaking from a far perspective & never had met the man in person).

I feel sad whether this is a deliberate or unintentional (mental) path, but am confident that like the drama that created WP's popularity orignally (MoveableType), there will be a path forward for the community - it's the damage that will be done in getting there that's upsetting...
Would this have gotten front page if it wasn't pg? Because I think I know the answer to that.
My interpretation is something like:

Step 1 - recognising an advantage e.g. "I am straight/white/Asian/tall/short/whatever".

Step 2 - recognising that it's unearned "I didn't choose it, I was just born that way".

Step 3 - is to hold the belief that because it's unearned that no advantage should be assigned to it, we cannot claim that it's preferable, etc.

To me, what it means to be woke requires the belief in step 3.

That's what makes it a kind of funny insult word, because it's logically unworkable and runs counter to well, literally the entire world. It feels like the kind of classic autistic technical gotcha.

Similar to you I had lugged my 7.1 speakers and amp and wires around to every address I’ve had in 20 years. For the current house I had enough and put a HomePod in every room and top tier Samsung bar + satellites + sub. It’s not as good at dimensions as discrete speakers but now I have reflected Atmos
Waves off the ceiling and setup was super easy. I had to use the app one time to calibrate but I already had it since I have a Washing machine it connects to.
Ask HN: When would you fork instead of waiting for proposal/PR acceptance?
I love Go's templating system for its simplicity and frankly being part of the stdlib. I am however in need of a parser extensions. I created a proposal for this (https://github.com/golang/go/issues/59453), but like many large open source projects, the proposal queue is substantial with uncertain review timelines. I'm considering forking just this part of the stdlib to implement my needed changes in a backward-compatible way.

This raises a broader question: At what point do you decide to fork and maintain your own version versus waiting for upstream acceptance? What has been your experience with similar situations, especially when dealing with core libraries or language features?

I guess one sure reason to fork it is if the proposal is completely shot down and for some reason the proposer absolutely cannot live without it - but let us not go that far!

(e.g. wtf is "femme"? does being fat erase my sin of being a white man? how fat do I have to be?)

> when I see someone frothing at the mouth because someone spoke about selfishness, hypocrisy or cruelty in way they didn’t like, I’m generally left with the impression that there is no way to confront those topics in a way that would satisfy them

I think you may be right here, but I think it's also worth looking into just why this causes people to go into a mouth frothing rage.

What I see is that a lot of "woke" starts with the assumption that the audience is bad, then tries to work backwards to prove it

Of course discussions about selfishness, hypocrisy and cruelty are going to infuriate people when you start from the assumption that the people you are talking to are the ones who are selfish cruel hypocrites

Next time you see someone make a comment about "straight cis white men" (or any demographic, but this one comes up a lot), replace it with "selfish cruel hypocrites", that probably would give you a good idea why that demographic reacts poorly to the message
But I like X :(
Internet access is so important it should be available for low or no cost to basically everyone. Price caps like this are a half-assed fix because the providers are incentivized to make finding, ordering and having that service as painful as possible.

It's a bit like rental price controls. Look at all the vacant rent stabilized units in NYC. The real solution to housing is for the government to provide housing, not force discounts onto the private sector.

The real solution to this is for municipal broadband for the last mile. There is absolutely no reason why Internet access is as expensive as it is in the US. The only reason is rent-seeking national ISPs.
The left doesn’t talk about “wokeness” but it certainly does talk about the individual policies that fall under that rubric. The right uses the label “woke” for the same reason the left uses the term “capitalism.” There’s a bunch of ideas and policies that stem from similar ideological premises and it’s perfectly fine to group them together under labels.

For example, Latinex is by itself just one thing. But there’s also BIPOC. There’s also race conscious hiring and promotion decisions. They are all ideologically related and add up to something quite significant.

> WP Engine owns several WordPress plugin developers. Does plugin development not count now?

Mullenweg stole the Custom fields plugin from WPEngine. So no, plugin development doesn't could when he can steal the plugin away from you.
That's great until it convinces them to make real-world decisions that affect the rest of us. For instance, vaccine misinformation talked a lot of people against getting safe (or at least safer than the illness), effective (not perfect, but effective) immunity shots for COVID. Those people are dead from being wrong.

I think someone's an idiot for denying the moon landings, but their ignorance doesn't directly affect my ability to stay alive and health. Some misinformation is worse than others.

>Why did it take years for the chickens to come home to roost?

because the problem with sonos is that they're actually really really good. dollar for dollar, it's some of the best sound quality you can find for home audio, and it doesn't require a month of product research to figure it out. it's easily available in most big-box stores, and unlike some other brands they don't have a shit-tier line of products that look indistinguishable from their good stuff so you have to be cautious as a consumer to buy only the good stuff. if you go to best buy and spend $500 on sonos products, you're going to get your moneys worth.

it's too bad their app sucks, because their hardware doesn't.
You can't reform a system that is broken by design. The teachers' unions have WAY too much power. More power than parents, which is wrong and corrupts the system. You can see this by comparing money and test scores over the past few decades. More money today and worse results.

Kids/parents should have a choice. Just like we have choices on android or iphone and Purdue or Ohio State. Why should it be different with the k-12 education? If some are religious, so what? Parents can send their kids to a non-religious or trade school or a STEM school.

Parents should have more choice than bureaucrats.
We both know I didn't write it down with the hopes that I'll act on the at some point in the near future, and want to avoid my imaginary competitors. Even though, in reality, I will ponder about it for another week or two, give up without actually getting anything done, then regret for never trying :)
Risking major flames here but .. my Sonos amps do this perfectly. Analog cable through the house, amps on eth in the media closet, it’s is very very solid.

RTO is more than “why do they hate the office they are expected to return to”.

I’ve not had to do this. I’ve been fully remote for over a decade.

If I am hired as remote and then the company changes its policy later requiring me to go in, that is a change of the employment contract. AWS was particularly insidious as people are required to go to the office where the work/team they are part of are assigned to.
I dont see how doing nothing is the logical conclusion of tracing things back to the root cause, or why non-racial solutions cant be implemented at any of the levels.

What is wrong with helping poor people get better primary education? What is wrong with making university cheaper and more accessible?

Reliably yes, but not necessarily. Especially within the context of the parent question and the article. It was a self referential question about why the forum users would flag a blog post by the very forum’s founder. I suppose it answered itself and if anything my comment was redundant.
I'm typing this on a ten year old iMac - i7 processor, 32 gb of ram... paid a premium when I bought it, but still a whole lot of horsepower. Wish Apple would provide releases for their current OS rather than just support for previous iterations, but I can respect that would cut into new hardware sales as otherwise I have no real reason to upgrade. My work has changed over the past few years and at this point I don't ever see myself buying another laptop either - my iPad does everything I need when I'm on the go.

Certainly there are people with significant performance needs. For the rest of us there's a Mac Mini or an iPad.

We spent most of the last 70-years doing a pretty good job of aggressively sabotaging and suppressing any efforts to develop alternative economic systems. Even the few successes one might claim for communism are largely dependent on some kind of concession to allow for capitalism in limited areas. This doesn’t necessarily mean that capitalism is inherently superior, it’s just dominant.

The problem as I see it isn’t simply capitalism=bad, it has produced the greatest expansion of wealth in history after all, but rather it’s just not equipped to be the answer for everything. There are problems and opportunities that exist where capitalism does not have a solution for. Things like healthcare, equitable wealth distribution, and environmental sustainability are the obvious examples that come to mind.

These false dichotomies and unnecessarily tribalistic positions where pure devotion to free market capitalism is demanded are hobbling American society and its ability to maintain stability and take care of its citizens, since every attempt to suggest that some industries should be at least partially socialized, or even mildly regulated, are met with demagoguery and fear mongering. Just to be clear, I’m not suggesting that’s what’s happening here, I am speaking in broad terms.

Many of are free, and you can often build your own. You can easily extend it without plugins, but you're doing your future self a favor if you stuck your new features in one (so you can update themes etc easily in the future).

>> Adding custom fields is laborious, configuring post type display modes is a slog as well.

Hard disagree here. Whether you are using ACF for custom fields or post types, doing it manually takes more time but is not that difficult. Its typically a set of actions you wouldn't do often either.
Yes. The entire platform -- hardware & software -- is just a mess. I bought an MDC phono module for my digital amp only to discover it wasn't supported by its firmware. I waited 18 months to be able to actually use it. I experienced the same non-persistent configuration problem you described and also very sketchy things like the power button simply not working. Unacceptable by any measure and at any price point as far as I'm concerned.
