I believe this is the point, rather than being mundane. Other video conference tools are not able to offer this debugging option - which you have pointed out is useful.

I was part of this test - I've refused to install the app for years (I prefer websites and the option to open tabs for later browsing).

It was extremely annoying for a site I've used for 12+ years to treat me like that. It did massively cut my usage of Reddit (which I would consider to be quite high), I primarily access it from my phone and I all but stopped using it for the week or so I was in the "experiment".

Not sure where you got this from, but this is entirely incorrect.

What happens if/when another country (China? India?) introduces a similar law, requiring a company that operates there to make data on u.s citizens available even if its stored outside of the country. Will these companies stop operating in these markets?

Unfortunately most of the issues come from WordPress being written for a web that existed 10 years ago. Static pages with little dynamic content.

This doesn't really work on a more "modern" style of site, where the content is more dynamic and changeable.

Again, a lot of these issues only really arise when your product moves past being a blogging-style platform (such as happened to us), but this is something that either WP, or the WP community, seems to be striving for more and more.

I can appreciate what wordpress has achieved over the years, and what it has helped to create. But the current wordpress code base is a nightmare to work with, and doesn't scale well.

Having said that, it is an excellent blogging platform and CMS, but this is something that is usually forgotten, resulting in it finding itself shoehorned into the most inappropriate places.

Those banners (in most cases) are not you turning on or off cookies. The bbc sets cookies immediately (they do allow you to unset some here http://www.bbc.co.uk/privacy/cookies/managing/cookie-setting...), but you already have a session cookie that will last 4 years once the page is loaded.

Most sites will state they are assuming consent based on your continued usage of the site.

No, they just have to remove anns access to any team based information, same as she was prior to joining?

Would be nice to be able to sign up and submit feedback without having to submit a site, there doesn't appear to be any way to do that at present?

Looks great, quick question someone may be able to answer: in the license he says "[free to use in] any personal or commercial work...Do not redistribute or sell", which is fair enough, but does that restrict use in paid-for apps (such as on mobile devices etc)?

As I mentioned above, I believe he's referring to the 400 year history of map making which Apple appears to have ignored, in part at least.
