Finally! I've been trying to find a single document that has all this.

Disclosure: I'm one of the hosts.

This was one of EmDash's first podcast interviews since launch. A few things that came up that I haven't seen addressed elsewhere:

- Kane confirmed Matthew Prince (Cloudflare CEO) directly asked "can we build the next WordPress?" — this was top-down, not a skunkworks project

- Their Q2 roadmap was literally a question mark. They didn't know if anyone would care. The community response changed that, and they're actively allocating resources

- Plugin sandboxing outside Cloudflare is being worked on by community contributors; Kane expects a Node implementation "next week"

- They want federated/distributed plugin marketplaces (looking at the FAIR proposal), not a centralized store

- Joost de Valk (Yoast creator) already has a merged PR improving SEO handling in core

- No marketplace monetization yet, but they explicitly want devs to build commercial businesses on it

First 37 minutes is the interview, rest is discussion of implications from a WordPress product perspective.

Great write-up! I was sorry to see there wasn’t a reward for you reporting this to them.

At least you didn’t find that the bathroom rating tablets had audio as well!

Very cool to see this! It turns out my wife and I bought Andy Barto’s (and his wife’s) house.

During the process, there was a bidding war. They said “make your prime offer” so, knowing he was a mathematician, we made an offer that was a prime number :-)

So neat to see him be recognized for his work.

> The metal concentrations varied by where the tampons were purchased (US vs. EU/UK), organic vs. non-organic, and store- vs. name-brand. However, they found that metals were present in all types of tampons; no category had consistently lower concentrations of all or most metals. Lead concentrations were higher in non-organic tampons but arsenic was higher in organic tampons. > > Metals could make their way into tampons a number of ways: The cotton material could have absorbed the metals from water, air, soil, through a nearby contaminant (for example, if a cotton field was near a lead smelter), or some might be added intentionally during manufacturing as part of a pigment, whitener, antibacterial agent, or some other process in the factory producing the products.

Playing this game on my 27” iMac was the first time I experienced nausea from motion sickness. I felt ill for two days.

Player beware!

Agreed. This article makes it sound like this is a perpetual motion machine.

Wow, this is intense!

Think twice before sampling it if you have any sensitivity to flashing lights. Might seem obvious, but apparently needs saying!

I had nocturnal childhood epilepsy and, thankfully, I grew out of it.

I would have an “aura” before going to bed that I would be having a seizure that night.

Thankfully, I never had a daytime seizure.
