5. Pearl (2022). This was fun but I would've liked it even more if it had leaned into horror comedy and period-accurate detail. The opening scene leading up to the title was great but it was more appropriate to a midcentury melodrama. I think you could easily adapt it and her fantasy sequences to 1910s genres like "Little Tramp"-type silent comedy antics or pompous DW Griffith historical epics

Holy hell. This was inevitable.
Hackers, allegedly Chinese, got into the federally mandated surveillance backdoors of Verizon and AT&T's networks, snooping on everything.
The mandated backdoors were first required on phone systems in 1994 by the CALEA law, then controversially extended to broadband by the FCC in '04.
That's right folks. Broadband is so important that it must have backdoors for cops, but not important enough for the FCC to require consumer protections

Can the internet help here?
I read this article with great interest about professor Rebecca Roach's inability to find the woman who was Joseph Weizenbaum's secretary at MIT in the 1960s in the department of electrical engineering when he developed the pioneering AI chatbot, ELIZA.
The secretary played an important role, but after an extensive archive and records search, Roach still couldn't find her name.
I feel like this is an "internet, do you thing" problem.

Apparently, Matt is weaponizing a CVE without notifying WP Engine so they can fix the issue before making the CVE to the public, just to use it as an excuse to get people's sites that can get their sites hacked since it’s used on many WordPress sites.
No wonder Matt created that tweet asking for ACF alternatives, as he intended to weaponize this against WP Engine. Of course, this behavior can get him into more legal trouble.
This behavior is dangerous as if he does the same to another company that makes popular WordPress plugins, he can do the same.
Matt Mullenweg needs to go, NOW! He is destroying WordPress.
Not to mention, WP Engine can't push updates, since Matt banned their accounts.

Harris is playing along. And we won't realize until it's too late.
What do we do? I have literally no idea. But this is fucking nuts.

This is indefensible. Because of the electoral college this demographic does not need to be courted. This doesnt need to happen.
Anti-trust has been gutted over fifty years. It's the single cause of greedflation and cost of living problems.
The *one* genuinely good thing Biden did was appoint Khan to the FTC and try to build back antitrust.

Harris is going to boot Khan from the FTC to get the techno-libertarian vote. What in the actual fuck is going on here?

Make no mistake, the web is in active and hard-fought competition with other platforms. On desktop, it's roughly winning. On mobile (75% of computers), the web is losing *badly*.
Mobile ecosystem duopolists telling you the web doesn't need to evolve as fast or get more competitive is a Not Great (TM).

And yes, there's a loud constituency for the transpiler/framework status quo. Is that constituency adding more value than it is extracting? Not in the traces I'm looking at. And engine developers have *always* wanted stasis; that's just their thing. But that's not a strong enough argument for "do less".
The idea that we should allow TC39 to *explicitly* fall into the same sort of disrepair as HTML and CSS have suffered is *bananas*.

Platforms are competitions along many coincident aspects. The role of language committees in the web platform is to reduce the price of common functionality by expanding syntax and library support. This was what we did with Promises and `async`/`await`, classes, and much else in ES6.
The idea that transpilers are somehow *good*, rather than a necessary evil whose use should be discouraged through a rate of progress that continually obsoletes them is *wild*.

Language committees that fail to use their monopoly on syntax and library richness to make things better for developers (e.g., CSS WG from '02-'20) are actively problematic and should either have specs forked out from under them, or have their membership fundamentally reformed.

It's hard to explain just how troubling what I'm hearing about an upcoming TC39 meeting is.
Language committees have one job: to make languages better for the people who choose to use them. Deciding that you're "done" and that that new syntax should happen via transpilers is *abdication*. Straight-up failure.
If you want the web to compete against other platforms, its languages need to evolve. Full stop.
