As a side note, despite its popularity, Texas hold'em is just one type of poker game. In most poker games (5 draw, 7 stud, etc..) you ante every hand.

Because poker variants are so popular basically everything varies, but yes there's often an ante (a forced bet every player makes each round), and that's even present in some Hold 'Em structures.

PHP 5 is as close to phased out as it gets at this point. No doubt it's still in a lot of legacy enterprise codebases (lots of breaking changes going from 5 to 7 or 8), but outside of that no one is using it.

Some examples off the top of my head:

- Many plastics contain known endocrine disrupters like BPA that have been shown to get into people's bodies and correlate with negative health impacts such as certain cancers, sex organ abnormalities and infertility

- Microplastics can damage cardiovascular tissue and correlate with heart attack, stroke and premature death.

- Microplastics correlate with infertility in men.

- Microplastics absorb heavy metals in the environment and can then transport them into the food chain. Heavy metals of course having many established negative health impacts.

These are just some examples, a quick search should get you many more (along with the sources on the above).

The grocery chain has to spend money to buy the products.

A better comparison might be a flea market or fair where the organizers take 27% of gross receipts from each vendor, even if the customer went to the vendors store outside of the fair to buy. Which sounds egregious to me, moreso if it was the only fair that existed for a large demographic.

Maybe a rhetorical question but I think there are a few answers. One is that some people think that's what professional sounds like, this sort of dated, verbose corporate "believe us, we're big and competent" messaging strategy.

I think it just lands as inauthentic and cold to modern audiences.

But it's been a popular strategy for generations, and people tend to market/message the way they've been marketed to.

Definitely notable that Dropbox doesn't seem to be thinking about brand strategy when writing these sorts of releases.

The first half of the post actually does refer to the message. Hyperbolically sure, but I don't think they're wrong.

Here's a less hyperbolic interpretation: Women don't seem to like our banter, which is why they aren't successful. They need to change or leave.

I think, in context, the crypto bro reference is more relevant than it is ad hominem.

I suspect they're referring to experiments like the famous "Rat Park". There is clearly a strong social and environmental component to addiction susceptibility, at least in rats.

I don't know if I'd go as far as to say it's the fundamental problem, but definitely a major factor.

It sounds like you're ultimately just saying that the 77% number doesn't feel right to you.

I agree that it's an interesting challenge to try to determine which language a large number of sites are using for the backend, or at least it would be a challenge in some small but maybe not insignificant percentage of cases. And no doubt whichever way they solved it involved compromises.

But that by itself doesn't give us enough information to draw conclusions about accuracy.

You can turn it off in Windows too, though it it takes a few minutes and requires some knowledge (or Googling).

My understanding is that you had to go into the BIOS to do it, if turning it off was supported at all.

Maybe you're referring to whether or not the core ability to wake from sleep can be disabled? I've never tried to do that, so I can't say.

In my experience you can reliably stop windows from waking in unwanted ways. I usually disable everything except input devices (keyboard, mouse).

No that's not it. The issue is actually pretty involved, there is a LTT video on it, this is the bit I'm remembering: https://youtu.be/OHKKcd3sx2c?t=475

Ah I see... you can disable network waking, also the ability of Windows Update to wake the computer. That, combined with disabling wake in other areas, solves it on various Windows computers I've tried it on.

I guess it's possible that all of them were defaulting to S3 sleep though, I never checked.
