TV programming is the USA was pretty much created when advertisers realized the potential of the medium yet understood that no one would watch ads non-stop, which is why the had talk shows, tv series, game shows, etc made. The first TV ad - for Bulova watches - dates back to 1941, just two years after the first TV sets were sold to the public at the 1939 World's Fair.

I am hoping that the EU can devise a plan to fight China ever-increasing threats to democracy AND re-introduce manufacturing as a strong industry in all of the Union. It's obvious that individual European counties simply cannot withstand China on their own.

Do you do actual WP development? How many clients do you have? How much Yoast functionality does your plugin cover?

There are certain plugins that deliver so much value that developing and maintaining them yourself is nonsense for most devs out there. Unless your agency manages thousands of plugins and you have some very specific needs, you don't need to re-implement everything from scratch. Even then, it's probably far cheaper and easier to re-use their GPL code as the basis for a less bloated plugin rather.

Which SEO plugin did your agency go with?

"seamlessly integrate with the core product."

Plugin devs can generally NOT be trusted with seamlessly integrating their plugins because it usually leads to all kinds of dark patterns and poor UI for WP as a whole. WP.org's strict plugin guidelines is one of the main reasons why plugins behave relatively well considering how huge the WP.org repository is.

Soviet Life Lessons needs to be its own site or at least video series. I'm being serious as someone who lately has been reading up on the Soviet and realizing that its people developed amazing survival skills to deal with the trauma of daily life.

Are you saying you didn't eat or drink anything during 9 days? What was your initial and final weight?

That's really great to hear. I wish your daughter and family the best.

They don't do this type of support, do they? Haven't been able to find a phone number or email address.

A year ago? People have been making this prediction for decades.

Their anti cheat system is of course automated and can easily detect the ones that only give 5-star reviews or follow other irregular patterns.

What might happen is the rise of an informal communications channel managed by employees that Google executives cannot direct let alone cancel. That's far worse in a way.

Same here. I can put in really good hours in a side project but once the site is online, my ambition totally drops off.

When do you do actual work?

Countless solutions have tried to solve the problem of counterfeit goods by using some kind of unique identifier but I don't know of any that has seen widespread usage.

The difference is that Amazon is exceptional at tech and has the marketplace to implement and improve their solution over many years. Hopefully Amazon's solution becomes cheap and easy to use for even small brands (but realistically it only needs to be less expensive than the cost of counterfeits to be adopted).

If Amazon's Transparency is REALLY GOOD, they could offer it as a service through AWS. There's an enormous demand for this sort of solution.

Obviously the way to Captain Kirk yourself out of this Kobayashi Maru situation would be to use the ancient terminal to bash your head in.

Gitlab's CFO Paul Machle is becoming a liability to the reputation of the company.

So what newsletters out there are actually making money (besides Substack ones)?

It's fine either way because anyone European citizen surely read the first comment as sarcasm.

Yet every time I've stumbled upon XML in the past decade or so It's been used as a data format because it's easy to manage and supported by every platform/tool out there. But sure, let's switch over to JSON or use a SQL database because we can't deal with the fact that XML might be better suited for something that it wasn't originally designed for.

Sounds like a - gasp! - data format.

In reality it's actually fine as a data format for lots of use cases.

In what way is the article biased? Why do you think that patio11 is part of the "incumbent financial system"? Do you refute any of the evidence?

The copywriting is so mediocre in its attempts to be funny or witty in every heading.

Wait, a coworking center is a place you share with people who aren't your actual coworkers because you wanted to work remotely? Man, this new economy is out of sync.

I think you are right, that it's going to take many years before we realize that remote work is on the same level as the open office: sounds great in theory but actually counterproductive when it comes down to the practicalities.

This is how I imagined the situation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4CizzE-zZo

But then we actually had a 13% decrease because our test was fundamentally flawed. Also, we don't really understand the statistics behind a/b testing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Very disturbing that this is a discussion you need to have now as opposed to already knowing this considering how privacy sensitive the dev community has always been.

It's astonishing that even multi-billion brands are being tarnished due to Amazon's inadequate and sometimes even dangerous supply chain practices.
