in my experience these new stacks, new frameworks, fancy new libraries, haven't added much in terms of user experience. I think React has but, with React comes a cacophony of ick.

$32k USD starting is not what I would call affordable. Even the Nissan Leaf starts lower. This car is honestly a bit of a joke in the US markets even for a small, simple commuter you can do much better here in the EV space. A used 2018 leaf would get more range, charge faster and cost less.

Surprised I had never heard of this incident before. Incredibly well written article and some fascinating footage from a bygone..yet somehow familiar, era.

Can we ban paywalled WP articles?

We need to act on AI now. We need to limit it's ubiquity, we cannot allow it to take ANYONE's job. We are heading towards absolute doom if we allow this. Humanity will be doomed.

I get it and the points made here are valid but, the reality is that the teams deploying the WAF + infra and the team writing the insecure/secure code are different teams with different roadmaps. We have to deploy a WAF because the developers are not writing this magical unicorn code that follows all security best practices and gets refactored once a week. There are vulnerabilities, issues etc. that need to be addressed just like any app. SO yes, WAF is necessary.

Thanks for the response! Unfortunately we've submitted Service Requests for each of our forms as they are past processing times. Each Service Request was met with a response that boils down to "We know. Wait longer.". We've even submitted Service Requests for a couple Service Requests that went beyond processing times for responses!!

Our local fed rep in socal would probably be Katy Porter right?

Should my wife and I get an attorney? She has been waiting almost 15 months for GC, marriage-based. We sent in everything all at once, work permit/travel/adjustment of status. We're thinking about even mailing Katy Porter. She's from Canada, we provided plenty of proof, we did everything right and still nothing! She's desperate to just start working..as it is right now she's pretty bored just playing video games at home all day.
