The US Department of Labor is withdrawing proposed rule to end subminimum wages for disabled people — July 7, 2025.
They say it’s still needed bc 40,000 disabled people were paid less than $7.25/hr in 2024.
Too much ongoing discrimination to end discrimination???

TIL that Tacos Al Pastor, the "Shepherd's Taco" that I can get at El Sol just down the street in Toronto's east end - elsol.ca/new-page-1 - is one of Mexico City's signature foods that was born of Shawarma origins and the Lebanese immigrants who moved to Mexico City in the late fifties.
Immigration and diversity are an unbridled good in this world.

@mhoye Shawarma and Burrito IDK, but Shawarma and Tacos Al Pastor are definitely related - al pastor comes from Lebanese migrants to Mexico... see the wiki: https://en.wikipedia.Mastodon

🎶 Après sept années de guerre, sept années de bâtiment (bis)
Je reviens de Grande Terre, je reviens à Lorient
Je reviens de Grande Terre, Guerre, guerre, vente, vent
🎶J'ai passé des nuits entières debout au gaillard d'avant (bis)
Sous bon vent, sous vent contraire, sous la brise, sous les brisants
Sous bon vent, sous vent contraire, guerre, guerre, vente, vent
🎶Voyez mon sac de misère lourd de coups, vide d'argent (bis)
Allez dire au capitaine j'ai obéi trop souvent
Allez dire au capitaine, guerre, guerre, vente, vent
🎶Bonjour ma mie qui m'est chère revoilà ton cher aimant (bis)
Je suis las de trop de guerres sans voir grandir mes enfants
Je suis las de trop de guerres, guerre, guerre, vente, vent
🎶J'ai reçu tes mille lettres par le rossignol chantant (bis)
Je t'écrivais moins peut-être, je t'envoyais des rubans
Je t'écrivais moins peut-être, guerre, guerre, vente, vent
🎶Mes amis plus que naguère vous me verrez bien souvent (bis)
Après tant d'années de guerre, j'aurai tant et tant de temps
Après tant d'années de guerre, guerre, guerre, vente, vent
🎶De Lorient à Grande Terre, vent arrière, vent avant (bis)
Les fleurs d'hiver étaient belles, elles annonçaient le printemps
Les fleurs d'hiver étaient belles, guerre, guerre, vente, vent

Il existe un film soviétique sorti en 1983 qui s'appelle « Mary Poppins, au revoir! », basé sur les livres de Pamela Travers.
Il finit par une scène où Mary Poppins avec sa magie retourne aux adultes leur enfance pour un bout de tmemps. Et là, à ce moment, il y a cette chanson sublime, si touchante et si profonde à la fois. Je ne suis pas trop fan de l'URSS, pour dire poliment, j'y suis né et je sais bien ce que c'était, mais ils savaient parfois faire des films pour enfants… de tous les âges.
J'ai trouvé une traduction, elle n'est pas à moi, mais on peut bien chanter dessus !
«La Terre tourne comme le carrousel,
Avec les vents qui soufflent au-dessus d'elle,
Les vents des pertes, des rancoeurs, du mal -
Incalculables.
Incalculables, ils viennent de tout part,
Ils brisent les portes en détruisant l'espoir,
La peur s'installe dans nos coeurs sans joie,
Les vents tournoient, les vents tournoient...
Nuit et jour, depuis des siècles, notre Terre
Tourne en avançant.
Nuit et jour, depuis des ans, des ères entières
Tournent en rond les vents.
Mais il existe le vent du changement,
Il arrivera, chassant les autres vents.
Le jour viendra où il dispersera
Les vents de haine, les vents d'effroi.
Nuit et jour, depuis des siècles, notre Terre
Tourne en avançant.
Nuit et jour, depuis des ans, des ères entières
Tournent en rond les vents.
Très bientôt, demain, le vent changera;
À la place de ceux d'avant,
Il viendra bientôt, gentil et bienveillant,
Le vent du changement. »

For our friends in the #USA from the #FCC: Updated Date for Comments Due: August 4, 2025
Updated Date for Reply Comments Due: September 17, 2025
On July 8, 2025, the FCC released an Order granting an extension of time for comments on the Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) proposing improvements to ensure the resiliency, reliability, interoperability, and accessibility of Next Generation 911 (NG911) networks. NG911 will provide improved support for the full range of 911 voice, text, data, and video communications, which will enable improved 911 access for individuals with disabilities. The original comment dates were July 21, 2025, and August 18, 2025.
With respect to accessibility of NG911 networks, the FNPRM seeks comment on:
• Ensuring that NG911 systems support interoperability for non-voice 911 services, with specific emphasis on text, video, and multimedia capabilities that support 911 access for people with disabilities.
• New interoperable text messaging protocols, such as Rich Communications Service (RCS), for text-to-911 calls.
• The accessibility of sign-language communications in NG911 environments, including through:
o Relay services, including video relay service (VRS);
o Three-way video relay services with the 911 caller, a sign language interpreter, and a 911 call handler; and
o Direct video calling (DVC) between a sign language user calling 911 and a 911 call center handler who is both fluent in sign language and trained in handling emergency calls.
• Expanding the capabilities of current Internet Protocol-based relay services to support video 911 calls.
Interested parties may file comments by accessing the FCC’s Electronic Comment Filing System at fcc.gov/ecfs/filings/. All filings must reference PS Docket Nos. 21-479 and 13-75. People with disabilities who need assistance to file comments online may request assistance by email to FCC504@fcc.gov.

FTC has a reporting form. It actually can generate results when the party on the other end is actually honest about their identity. Arguably just wrist-slaps, but when Dave’s Home Repair (i.e. random small cold-caller) gets a phone call and warning letter from the FTC, they stop.

I discovered "CamelCamelCamel" by reading Popular Info's article "Amazon Prime Day is a Scam." I went to take a look. This was apparently a "popular product".
It is a $50 gift card whose price is, unsurprisingly, exactly $50. But apparently the "Average price" is $66.66? I am not surprised that this is labeled its "best price." I'm fairly certain this has been its ONLY price.
I have immediately become very skeptical of this web site.

I can't believe programmers out there let compilers write assembly for them and don't even check it, just trust that it's correct because it seems to work.

“My anti spam plugin went EOL so I made the computer randomly generate me a new one which I installed without even looking at it” I just can’t even. https://www.zdnet.Hachyderm.io
The author of that article had the full working source code of the plugin that he liked. The plugin totally worked correctly, but it had some kind of XSS vulnerability. It seems to me that the best approach is to fix that plugin. Want to use AI to do it? Fine. But fork it and fix it. It seems ridiculous to write an entire replacement plugin from scratch in an effort to avoid one bug in an otherwise working codebase. That bug was almost certainly localized to a handful of lines of code.
The author writes "I ... found that the plugin had been listed as having cross-site scripting vulnerabilities... It's not the sort of thing you take a chance on."
So what did he do to make sure his AI generated code didn't have XSS vulnerabilities itself? He doesn't say. It sounds like taking a big chance to me. The driving motivation for this entire exercise—security—is a concept he only mentions in the intro. He doesn't make claims about security. He doesn't appear to have had ChatGPT write tests for security. He never mentions XSS again.
How does he know that his plugin doesn't have an XSS vulnerability just like the plugin he was replacing? I don't think he has any evidence one way or another. The LLM spit out 16 pages of security vulnerabilities supposedly present in the old plugin. Did the author validate any of them? He doesn't say. Did the author ask ChatGPT to inspect his code the same way, to make sure it didn't have similar vulnerabilities? He doesn't say he did.
It sounds absolutely foolhardy to me. I guess he will find out the hard way whether his vibe coded plugin has XSS (or worse).
If the code is so amazing, why is the repo not on his github? He neither names the plugin that he abandoned, nor does he share the plugin that he proudly authored.
davidgewirtz has 4 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.GitHub
I just read the article and I think everything he did was completely fine. Not only did he identify that the plugin had more features than he needed, but it had a lot more security vulnerabilities than just XSS. So he made a plugin with the assistance of ChatGPT that only did these 3 things:
1. has a honeypot hidden form field to trick bots and stop them from registering
2. looks up the MX record of the email domain being used to make sure it's legit
3. checks an API for the reputation of the username / IP address
I see no possible way this is going to have an XSS as it's all done server-side.
And then he had this simple plugin written with these guidelines:
Guard every file with defined( 'ABSPATH' ) || exit;.
Escape all admin-facing text with esc_html().
Wrap the clear-log action in check_admin_referer( 'rsg_clear_log' ).
Use wp_remote_get() with [ 'timeout' => 5 ]; on WP_Error treat as not spam (fail-open).
Never call eval(), unserialize(), or store base64 blobs (mitigates CVEs noted in original plugin).
Adhere to WordPress coding standards (spacing, naming, i18n).
So what is the risk here? Why are people losing their mind over this? The risk here is basically zero and he very clearly spelled that out, but everyone shuts off their brains when they hear that he didn't write every line of code himself.
If he did write it himself, is that good enough? Or now does he need to also be a credentialed security expert before it's OK for him to write the plugin?
@eriner @besserwisser if I have correctly identified all the areas on my original map, it's these:
New York–Newark–Jersey City – 20,140,470
Los Angeles–Long Beach–Anaheim – 13,200,998
Chicago–Naperville–Elgin – 9,618,502
San Francisco–Oakland–Berkeley – 4,749,008
Washington–Arlington–Alexandria – approx. 6.3 million
