Part of that is you can can a tomato right when it is most ripe and ready to be eaten, whereas if you're shipping it to a store, you ship it unripe and hope it ripens somewhat on the way.
ISPs aren't really a free market, they are more like natural monopolies because it's virtually impossible to compete given large capex costs, long dated infrastructure projects, etc

Given the lack of competition, this is precisely the kind of non-free market in which government regulation is not only fine but advisable.
Why do you put more emphasis on the language than the proposed solutions. Is that to control the speech?

Yep, it is definitely an engineer behind this, wanting to show off.

My job now is to deal with the aftermath of failed design choices at my company.
It only took a couple of guys to impose their deluded design, because noone stood up to call their bullshit.
Here is an alternate possibility

1. They introduced a checkbox for "users to confirm that they are not affiliated with WP Engine"

2. A court ordered Automattic to reverse course

3. Developer thought it was easy to quickly just change the text rather than make code changes.

Let us not say people are crazy when there are alternate narratives
No, only the spec is important. How the software implements the spec is not important in the least. (To the extent that's not true, fix the spec!)

Nor is whether the implementation is the same from one build to the next.
It doesn't matter what the people want in this case, but rather what the public relations look like.

OP posits that any non-white person in a position of responsibility is going to be blamed as a "DEI hire" if something happens under their watch regardless of their actual competence, because that's the kind of headlines that drive engagement with a certain audience. And I think that's a justified fear - just look at the current brouhaha over California fires.
I have to admit it's pretty funny that all of the citations in the piece are just more of his own opinions.
I think these visitors from another planet would be more confused about the phrases “right/left wing _fact_ checker”…
My points exactly.

For example, if you want a good amount of space in NYC you're in Brooklyn or Queens.

Your spending 45 minutes to an hour each way just getting to your Manhattan office.

Or you live in Manhattan and spend 6k a month.

Just from a raw math perspective, assuming I make 100$ an hour in NYC, and my Brooklyn apartment is 3k.

That's 1000$ a week for the 2 hour commute if I value my time and apply the same rate.

Let's just say a Manhattan apartment is 6k, but it's right across the street from the office.

To make the math easy, let's estimate your BK to Manhattan commute time to be worth 3k a month.

Vs 2K for an apartment in Philly or Chicago with a remote job.

4k extra a month to work in Manhattan, meaning 48k per year. Once you factor in taxes, you have to make about 70k more to make the in person NYC make sense.

If the option is 150k remote or 200k in NYC you *lose* money going to NYC. Plus, you don't need to live in a city at all .

If I want to I can move out to some small town in Ohio and buy myself a ranch. As long as I have stable internet I'm fine .

Of course this is a moot point if RTO becomes industry standard which it quickly is. With my luck the options are probably going to be have no job or go to New York or San Francisco and make 170 meaning I get the worst of both worlds.
> In the lawsuit the judge asked Automattic to come up with a price for access to Wp.org and Matt did not provide an estimate.

Automattic and Mullenweg argued that WP Engine should be required file a bond of $1.6 million to ensure that they are compensated for potential costs and damages if it’s later found that the preliminary injunction was granted without sufficient basis.

> he means it is a genuine problem, and deserves to be fixed, but it isn't as big as "the woke" deems it to be

Who is "the woke"? How big do they think big is? How does PG know what this nebulous group all agrees upon? How big of an issue does he think it is, as far as actions to be taken? Is "the woke" just anyone who disagrees with him here?

Not specifying any meaning makes it literally a meaningless, divisive (us vs. them), dismissive statement on racism at best, and at worst, rhetoric to baselessly paint my opponent as more extreme than myself, because I am of course precisely the correct amount of reasonable.

A rebuttal in similar style would be "racism is actually a problem larger than thought by those who think it isn't", which you may notice is also meaningless and dismissive.
> "genital mutilation of children (gender affirming surgery)"

In the past 4 years in the USA there have been:

- roughly 14.4 million children born, half of them are boys (7.2 million) and 57% of those circumcised. 4.1 million non-consenting genital mutilation surgeries on people who didn't ask for them, mostly infants.

- 4160 breast removal surgeries in minors under 17.5 years old on people who did ask for them, mostly teens.

- 660 phalloplasties in the same group.

We should definitely wonder why Republicans are fine with four million non-consensual genital mutilation surgeries every year mostly on infants, but against a thousand times smaller number of surgeries mostly teens willingly asking for them. We should wonder this in the context of Republicans pushing back against legislation raising the minimum marriage age:

- https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/louisiana-... - "If they’re both 16 or 15 and having a baby why wouldn’t we want them to get married?" - said representative Nancy Landry, a Republican from Lafayette

- "The West Virginia bill is an outright ban on all marriages under 18. When the House advanced it to the Senate with a resounding 84 votes in support, just over 12 Republicans voted against it" ; ""The only thing it's going to do is cause harm and trouble in young people's lives," Harrison County Delegate Keith Marple, a Republican and the lone person to speak against the state bill" - https://www.newsweek.com/republicans-make-case-child-marriag...

i.e. Republicans being fine with 15 year olds "making their own choices" when it comes to marriage.

> "stating pronouns as a performative act" ; "Continue to deny that this worldview exists, and you will continue losing elections."

This is the United States where you stand up every day in school and performatively pledge allegiance to a flag, yes? Where you stop strangers in the street to "thank them for their service"? How are you so annoyed about someone putting "he/him" next to their name (but not about them putting captain/corporal/major/doctor/reverend next to their name), and as a response you vote for a man who admits sexual assault, has been convicted of federal crimes, lies about his experience, knowledge and credentials, spent $141,000,000 of your money playing golf - mostly at his own golf clubs, used the presidency to (illegally!) promote Goya products, nepotistically sent his own children as official US representatives to meetings? A president who performatively attends church for photo shoots but doesn't regularly attend church for prayer?

It's this kind of behaviour which gives rise to the jokes "the Right will eat a shit sandwich if it means the left will catch a whiff of their breath" and which makes a mockery of the claims that it's all the left's fault; the Right is fixated on trivial bullshit, arguing for the right to be able to lie and be jerks without being fact checked or facing any consequences, without a sense of proportion of different events, obsessed with being angry about the left's feelings and calling them snowflakes, while choosing who to vote for because a film character gets black skin instead of white skin.
These questions are not made in bad faith.
The story is even worst than this. You can find an interview from him on YouTube post acquisition of VMWare. A business reporter naively ask him what is his strategy for the acquisition. The answer just shows there was no strategy, just, and I am paraphrasing: "I spent all this money has to be for something"
I developed my own internal system of values or ethics when I was in high school. I thought it was great. Then I went to University, read Hume, Mill, et al. and realized that my thoughts were not original at all. That didn't make them less relevant, just made me a little disappointed. I spent a disillusioned year or two thinking University was just going to be giving proper names to thoughts I'd already pondered.
Except in the 5th photo they show someone using the laptop's touchpad while on the stand.

This seems very uncomfortable to me as resting your hands on the pointed edges of the folded paper seems like an awful user experience.
The founding fathers understood freedom needs public accountability. That includes how government decisions are made and how public funds are used, including at the VA. The founding fathers believed a well-informed citizenry was vital to a free society.

FOIA deters misconduct, corruption, and waste. Even in this context, doctors diagnosis/judgement of service members has come up for discussion.

A free society empowers the public, which is exactly what this information does.

Transparency fosters trust. When we can look inside institutions we are more likely to trust them. For the VA, that means looking at the treatments they are providing and how they are treating those they are supposed to serve. The VA has historically had very low public/veteran trust.

Access to information such as this fosters relevant discussions and debate. Especially for an entity like the VA which receive virtually all of it's funding from the government and needs to constantly (sadly) resell the public on the necesity of it's budget.

Were the VA (whose purpose is medical care of our veterans and is almost exclusively funded by us the taxpayers) to restrict access to... information about medical care to our veterans would be a huge issue for a free society.

My position is not deviant, extremist, nor alien to the concept/definition of the burdens/requirements of freedom promoted by the founding fathers.
Well it can still go gradually. First move the plugins, one by one. Then update the WP sourcecode to the new domain. Then update existing installations.
Cant imagine a better person than Paul Graham to give us the history of the origins of the struggles various underprivileged groups have had over the recent decades.

Anyway the conservative reaction to “wokeness” (or “wokism” if youre an annoying european conservative) is way more annoying than “wokeness” ever was. And as far as I can tell its just them going “I am annoyed by these people so I am going to be a huge baby”

Like theres no material impact to them here. How much can a DEI team possibly cost? It’s just babies being babies.

Actually I’m going to take that back. There is a material impact to them but it is that they risk losing out by not being in Trump & friends good books. In that case Paul’s rant is not only wrong but it is hypocritical because this is just as performative! If not more! The billionaires are already the most privileged group!
I don't understand what this comment is trying to say, but the image of pg being on the board of companies (other than one that he founded) is pretty funny. I can't imagine him wanting to do that.
My whiteboard diagrams are also ugly, but I can draw ugly diagrams on a real whiteboard without cognitive overhead. Meanwhile diagraming tools have friction that a pen doesn't.

Also I've been to plenty of meetings where engineers split off into multiple sub groups and diagramed different ideas on parts of the board and then everyone joined back up to discuss. Can zoom technically do that? Sure but it sucks.
He said the word woke *described* the "awareness of racial and social injustice". He didn't say it was a mechanism for "raising awareness".

Let me ask you this: How does one, in your mind, do "something about it?"

PG's article focuses on "woke" as a kind of performative morality and you've gone out of your way to try an unify this original definition of "woke" with Paul's performative definition.

Was "woke" being used performatively in the 1930's when black folk advised other black folk to "stay woke" when traveling in certain parts of the country that were hostile to their existence?

When does the original definition start becoming incompatible with Paul's half-assed definition in your mind?
Sure, the history is full of gays who were closeted or whose homosexuality were open secrets. But those have always been kept plausibly deniable towards the public, not open like this at all.
A bit tangential, but I think we will see a good chunk of small teams building competing products in different software business segments, by just doubling on productivity and offering a cheaper option due to less operational overhead (reads: paying engineers). I can think of at least two businesses that can be competed in costs if the team can automate a good chunk of it.
Every app that uses Bluetooth needs location permission AFAIK. It's unfortunate.

I've got the Arc soundbar and subwoofer one year ago to save space by replacing my more typical 3.1 setup with receiver, sub, and bookshelf speakers.

I'm happy with the form factor, audio quality, and overall TV experience, and I honestly haven't used the app enough to even notice if there was a big update.

That said, I haven't used any Sonos multi-room functionality. But I have noticed weird gaps in functionality with the Arc's Amazon Alexa integration. The Arc doesn't support moving audio to it from other Alexa speakers, or vice versa. I have to imagine they deliberately disabled this, as if I'm going to replace all my Alexa devices just to get Sonos multi-room audio working!
It's tough to judge without seeing examples of the targets and the user photos, but I'm curious if this could be done with just old-school SIFT. If it really is exactly the same image in the in the corpus and on the wall, does a neural embedding model really buy you a lot? A small number of high confidence tie points seems like it'd be all you need, but it probably depends a lot on just how challenging the user photos are.
What does that have to do with what I wrote? If you want to transfer some ISP profits to low income New Yorkers, do that directly
I used to be a fan of Star Wars. Then Disney bought the franchise, and transformed it into something that a large number of fans, including me, did not like.

That the old movies exist* does not redeem the current franchise for me.

*: albeit in reality the original films are being preserved by fans and not by the official rights holder.
That's a fair argument. Maybe I'm just biased because I started with Drupal 8.
When the rival mob boss completes hostile takeover of a city all the businesses that want to remain in business gotta kiss the ring. That's exactly what all these businesses are doing from offering millions for his inauguration and publicly praising him.

This is Trump's m.o: he's a lame duck now, so he'll just sit at the top of the throne and rake in millions in gifts and unearned benefits while he pimps out the office of the president. I've already come to terms with it, what I don't know is how much US goodwill and leadership will he sell for his own gain...
I don't think anyone reading this article would conclude that PG believes racism is a bigger problem than wokism. Which wildly diminishes the actual real-world impact of racism and wildly exaggerates the actual real world impact of wokism.
Also, having a blog post about image detection, and not showing a single picture in the whole post was quite frustrating.
But there is every possibility that they were always going to do this.

> I submit that this isn’t my reality.I never spontaneously break out a whiteboard., the same way I dont spontaneously break out into a dance routine.

Countless times I've walked up to someone and asked "hey can I work through this problem on a whiteboard with you."

And while I haven't done so myself, I have had coworkers spontaneously break into dance routines before. (Ok that has only happened once...)
FreeBSD and Suspend/Resume… About 10 years ago, I switched from FreeBSD to Linux because I couldn't get suspend/resume to work reliably (i.e. suspend/resume cycle succeeds and it doesn't drain my laptop battery in between) on FreeBSD on my Thinkpad.
And this was only Suspend to RAM. Suspend to Disk is really nice to have, especially if coupled with hybrid standby, as on macOS and Windows by default.

I really appreciate that people still maintain FreeBSD on the desktop, though.
So on the one hand "it varies" and to conservatives it means one very specific thing. Interesting. Which is correct?
> Taking this at face value, what does that have to do with getting an office in 2015? It seems like the same "hindsight is 20/20" problem as before. Maybe the CEO was busy transforming the company to use blockchain or something. You can't expect a CEO to nail every bet.

Odds are, if they were "busy transforming the company to use blockchain" they blew absolutely massive amounts of money.

That's likely to corrupt the database backend, which now appears to store old "non WP Engine" affirmations in the same location as new "pineapple pizza" affirmations. How will they be able to distinguish?
> In fact in Judeo-Christian thinking, to do this requires people receiving a "new heart, a heart of flesh instead of a heart of stone" from God. (I saw "Judeo-" because the passages is from Ezekiel, which is common to both. I do not know if rabbinical thinking agrees, however.)

It doesn't. Judaism holds that the soul starts out pure, having been made in the image of G-d, and it only becomes impure through wrongdoing. All humans are born with an impulse to do evil, the Yetzer Hara, but we're also created with the power to overcome it. And when we have done evil, we have the ability to atone and return our souls to the pure state they were created in. That happens, for instance, on Yom Kippur.

The context of the verse from Ezekiel is:

> O mortal, when the House of Israel dwelt on their own soil, they defiled it with their ways and their deeds […] So I poured out My wrath on them […] I scattered them among the nations […] But when they came to those nations, they caused My holy name to be profaned, in that it was said of them, “These are GOD’s people, yet they had to leave their land.” […] Say to the House of Israel: Thus said the Sovereign GOD: Not for your sake will I act, O House of Israel, but for My holy name, which you have caused to be profaned among the nations to which you have come. […] I will take you from among the nations and gather you from all the countries, and I will bring you back to your own land. I will sprinkle pure water upon you, and you shall be purified: I will purify you from all your defilement and from all your fetishes. And I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit into you: I will remove the heart of stone from your body and give you a heart of flesh;" https://www.sefaria.org/Ezekiel.36.17-26

Ezekiel lived during the Babylonian exile. At face value, the text is saying that the people of Israel have been exiled because of their sins, but it makes a prophecy that G-d will cause them to stop sinning and return them to their land. That eventually did happen under Cyrus the Great. This is a constant cycle in the bible: When things are good, the Israelites forget G-d's teachings. Then something bad happens, but G-d redeems the Israelites from their suffering, which leads them to follow G-d again. Then thing get good again, and they start to forget G-d once more...

When it says that G-d will give the house of Israel a new heart, it's not (at face value) saying that individual people will literally receive new spirits (or otherwise be metaphysically transformed). Nor is it saying that G-d will literally sprinkle water on them. These are poetic ways of saying that the house of Israel will stop worshiping idols (etc), the same way that happened many times before in the Torah. You can of course add a layer of exegesis and make it about individual believers today instead of the nation of Israel in Babylonia of the 6th-century BCE. That's fine, the rabbinic tradition does that sort of thing all the time too. But at that point you're firmly in Christian territory and not in the space shared between Judaism and Christianity.
It's the same way products like salesforce become popular. Network effects. As much it's an architectural nightmare, it is a thing that everyone is familiar with. When you are looking at ecommerce tools, email marketing, analytics, etc they all have some kind of one-click integration with wordpress. If you need developers, wordpress freelancers are a dime a dozen. It's just the thing everybody knows.
Weak response personal attack is weak and lame.
Lots of executives at big companies can be petty though, it's nothing new when one is in power and surrounds themselves with yes men. It doesn't mean they're necessarily having a breakdown at all.

What Is Zero Trust Wi-Fi?
How Zero Trust Wi-Fi (ZTW) enhances security by verifying every device and user before access.
Zero-trust Wi-Fi (ZTW) is a security approach in which every device, user, and connection is thoroughly verified before gaining access to a Wi-Fi network. Unlike traditional methods that assume anything inside the network is safe, ZTW requires strict checks for all access requests. This shift from relying on perimeter defense to verifying each connection individually helps improve wireless network security.
The disagreement is not about what is, but what should.
I don't understand the distinction you're trying to make.
