$10k is not a high enough fine to dissuade this behavior. Large law firms will just approach this the same way that big tech accepts GDPR fines as part of the cost of doing business.

This brings to mind "Still Life", the story of John McClamrock, a high school football star paralyzed during a game, and his mother subsequently devotes her life to taking care of him. I somehow came across the article in April 20

Neat. I just tried it out and one thing I was pleasantly surprised about was the styling it came up with. It was sleek, and it did not have the purply gradienty tailwindy styling that I always get from Claude. Did you do much to adjust the

I buy a lot of plugins for WordPress sites, and there are definitely some companies in that ecosystem known to utilize dark patterns and have difficult cancellation processes.

“I would have liked to work hard on something I cared about. But I didn't have anything I cared about” This is one of those sentences that make me jealous I didn’t write it. Just such a perfect description of early adulthood for many.

Good lord. The idea that a sleep‑deprived, bias‑prone mammal can be relied on to give accurate health‑related information is deeply flawed and troubling. It’s one thing to seek a human for empathy, small talk, or a routine vaccine, but enti

I think this post is trending because of a comment on the announcement about the new Pope, where someone pointed out the redundancy in the vatican.va domain.

"a timer (urgency) is usually not a very good idea for thinky games" 100% agree. I hate the timer on the NY Times mini puzzle. I like these types of simple games for unwinding, and a timer makes it more stressful.

Mentioning "our revenue continues to grow" seems quite out of place in an announcement like this.

FYI, a friend’s mom was recently scammed, and her Facebook account was taken over. She called what seemed like a legitimate customer support number, but it was actually a scam—something that Facebook’s own system unintentionally made look c

However, that is not the perspective of the creator of BritCSS, who refers to current CSS property names as "bastardised" spellings.

Beautiful, the visuals combined with the music gave me quite a nostalgic feeling for the city where I once worked daily but haven't visited in years.

One good reason? Look at the financial state of the country. We’ve been running trillion-dollar deficits, ballooning debt, and unsustainable spending for years. If Musk’s appointees are doing the opposite of what got us here—cutting waste,

I work with a lot of overseas developers who speak with thick accents and sometimes it can be very difficult to understand them or for them to understand me. I could definitely see this being a more pleasant experience for everyone.

The WordPress community of developers/contributors has been under the impression that the dot org site was under the control of the nonprofit WP foundation. However Matt recently declared that dot org has been his personal website this

I spent $900 on a clean dotcom domain name last year primarily for email purposes. I had a lot of doubts, but in hindsight I am happy I did it - now I can host my email anywhere while keeping the same address.

True that Claude can generate a simple working prototype in a single prompt. But there's still the friction of deploying the app, making it accessible across devices, and easily managing updates. Which something like Glide streamlines

Hopefully his first advice was to tell Matt to cease the hotheaded tweets, livestream interviews, and hn comments.

IMO the craziest revelation in this whole ordeal is that Matt personally owns WordPress.org. I have worked with WP for close to a decade and I was always under the impression that it was owned by the nonprofit foundation. So this means that
