It's so dystopian to boost about your team pushing to production on their commute because that means:

1. The engineers are forced to work from office for no reason apparently.

2. The engineers are working outside work hours. Are they compensated for that?

Most people reading the article would get the impression that the developers are no longer needed and you can just tell Claude the feature you need directly, but why are the engineers at Spotify's still employed then? It seems Spotify's shareholders should confront the co-CEO, Söderström, about wasting tremendous resources when AI is so good and doing all the heavy lifting. Unless he is bullshitting a little too much.

They take the data and deal with the consequences later because there's none so far. I hope data poisoning see more traction as a possible countermeasure.

The article says:

> The price tag is much higher than the roughly $23 billion Google had offered for Wiz last year before antitrust worries forced the startup to shelve the deal.

> Wall Street is optimistic that the Trump administration would drop some antitrust policies

Is that it? It's crazy to announce the deal before there's any actual policy changes. Why the rush? It's not like someone is outbidding them here.

Weird, The IDF says it's indeed about kidnapped hostages: [1]

> the General Staff Directive for Contending with Kidnapping Attempts (also known as the "Hannibal" Directive) was initiated, meaning a number of actions necessary to locate and rescue kidnapped soldiers were put into effect.

Why would you even try to lie about its purpose when it's well known and documented?

I did. There was no reports on anything like that in the past few days. That's why I'm asking, what's there to LOL about? Or was the comment a joke that they can't fire or something? I'm confused

The comment claimed that missiles were still being launched from Gaza. Here's a google search to help you check for yourself: https://www.google.com/search?q=Israel+hamas+"rockets"+"miss...

Either the news aren't mentioning some major attack or you are lying through your teeth.

1. Kicking millions of Palestinians out of their homes and villages and building illegal settlements

2. Massacres committed with no accountability (soldiers posing and documenting it, not fog of war)

Both of these practices are STILL ONGOING and have been for almost a century.

Then regular civilians come from all over the world to live in those illegal settlements and justify it or claim they have nothing to do with the atrocities when they're a major support for it and why the suffering continues.

Many more problems were results of Israel being built on ethno-religious foundations:

3. Giving refuge to pedophiles (wanted by US and INTERPOL) because they're Jewish? WTF? [1]

4. The recent rape and sexual harassment of prisoners [2]. Israeli protestors went to the streets and even rioted to defend the soldiers accused of it and were proud of their actions. Tell me how should I feel when I see them doing that?

5. The attack on World Central Kitchen convoy? [3] Killing 7 aid workers in multiple clearly marked vehicles on a coordinated mission with the IDF. What came of it? They just laid off a couple of people like the commander Nochi Mandel who oversaw the attack. The same commander signed an open letter to block humanitarian aid. So what is the punishment for killing 7 innocent aid workers? You move to the private sector it seems with higher pay grade.

Fuck me! Any group that commit such crimes and act proud with no shame are lunatics and should be held accountable but this doesn't seem to happen in Israel. Even the citizens seem to take pride in it. [4]

My problem isn't with specific group. I'm referring to Israel as a state. I don't care about the religion of its people or what land they live on as long it's lawful and they're no committing war crimes. I'd feel the same about crimes in Ukraine, Afghanistan, or Africa.

37 signatories, and not a single one were from that land or had any clear links to it whatsoever. You act like it was to protect the locals but not a single one was present? How much clearer do you want to it to be? It was a land grab from the very beginning

Sources please?

You know that would have been great. But who are the native Americans in your example? Majority of Zionists that established Israel and their groups arrived by ships from Europe. Wouldn't that more resemble England and Spain colonization expeditions in your example? Weird.. like the story almost matches exactly to the how colonies were established

Such an ironic example to give voluntarily.

Let's take a look at the background of Israel's founding fathers and where did they came from:

- David Ben-Gurion - Poland

- Aharon Zisling - Belarus

- David Remez - Russia

- Pinchas Rosen - Germany

- Moshe Sharett - Ukraine

- Haim-Moshe Shapira - Belarus

- Yehuda Leib Maimon - Moldova

- Mordechai Bentov - Russia

- ...

Case in point, most weren't natives who lived there under "apartheid" but actually left Europe looking for a new land, backed by... England and the US (Sorry Spain, not this time).

If you're struggling to use the real events in history and have to resort to a "hypothesis", it's a sign something is off and you're twisting history a bit too much. At least make sure it's not ironic, next time.

What? Palestinians don't claim the land based on a promise by God. They claim it because they hold the legal documents going back for centuries. Even those expelled in 1948, still have the fucking keys covered with their grandparents blood after the Nakba ethnic cleansing.

You know what? let's forget about legal documents, about who is native to the land by DNA, since it's you know "complicated", right?

1. Zionists today (not a story in the past) continue to put outposts in Palestinians farms to snatch more and more land.

2. Israeli troops and settlers killed 171 Palestinian children in the west bank (an area smaller than Delaware) in 2024 alone [1].

3. They continue building illegal settlements on Palestinians land that's illegal even by US admission.

4. Israel is taking advantage of the power vacuum in Syria and advancing deeper inside Syria borders while taking more and more cities. It's literally provoking and asking for another war where they will claim they were victims.

5. The blood of tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza is still fresh [2] and more crimes in the past with no one held accountable, soldiers are literally posing and filming their war crimes with no accountability. Many humanitarian orgs believe the number of those killed is actually undercounted as many are still undocumented.

They celebrates killing babies (who they claim will be terrorists of course) so soldiers are praised and incentivized to annex entire blood line like savages.

Here's a challenge for you: Emit labels like "Palestinians" and "Israelis" and ask someone with no prejudice, hearing it for the first time, "who is in the wrong?" If you are honest and not manipulative you'll get your answer.

But nah let's stick to the theory that the entire world is against us and respond to any other theory that it's "complicated" while continue committing war crimes openly admitted by our soldiers ever since Israel was established.[3]

Do you agree that everyone who was involved in war crimes to be held responsible, no matter what ethnicity, religion, or passport they hold? That is the core of the problem, Israeli have done more terrible things than the side they claim as terrorists.

What makes this different from competing with classmates that cheat in general? You also had parents that do most of the tasks for their kids since forever

What makes LLMs stands out of the pack of other forms of assistance (parents, older siblings, software, online solutions, etc.)

I don't care about specific individual or technology since I don't use WordPress and I'm not in that business to begin with but these discussions are spreading the wrong message and values.

Please make sure you're contributing to the discussion in the future, not just attacking people based on your limited view.

Well, unlike WPEngine, Automattic and Matt make significant contribution beyond their ecosystem, here are some:

- Let's encrypt: https://letsencrypt.org/sponsors/

- Matrix's open protocol: https://matrix.org/

- The PHP Foundation: https://thephp.foundation/

- Open Source Initiative: https://opensource.org/

- And the list goes on: contributing and sponsoring many projects and developers that everyone using the web benefited from, including you and billions of people (not counting wordpress's impact)

Please educate yourself before spreading FUD about people who made great contributions constantly to the open web, the entire industry, and promoted open source on every chance they got.

> Should matt have such a veto power over what the community wants? Put another way, the community has tolerated matt's behavior, but he keeps digging more and more – how do we stop his bad behavior?

Am I sitting on some regulatory board? What this got to do with me? if I had to propose anything it'd be form a board from all major contributors to solve this conflict and reach a resolution

> "tolerated" by who? The community embraced WPEngine and their contributions to the community. It's matt that the community can't tolerate.

No, Matt supported and invested in them for years, before you and "the community" even heard about them. He was the one there from the very beginning.

>shake down WPEngine for money into his own pocket

It's not going to Matt pocket, Matt pays that multiple folds and has done that for years. Stop making ignorant accusations.

That's hilarious because Matt and Automattic actually invested in WP Engine, supported them in many ways ever since their inception and helped them be more successful and reach this level.

Your entire argument about "jealous of success" falls apart if you look only few months back. He wanted them to succeed for years and years, even after private equity, he still saw them as partners.

Can you mention any specific events before the recent debacle that show Matt have been anything but supportive of them for all these years?

What money? who did you pay? for what?
