  • Domestic violence is a huge issue, and women are more likely to suffer from it!

    Yes and yes.

    and scientifically literate readers won’t dismiss your credibility along with your cause.

    No. If you care about women’s lives, you’ll focus on cancer instead.

    Homocide per 100k capita of women (summed the separate numbers on page 9, worldwide): 7.4

    Deaths per 100k capita of women just in the USA (listed under “Sex and Race/Ethnicity”): 126

    Here’s your headline: Women are 1602.70% more likely to die of cancer, than of homicide at home!!!

    Now… Homicide bad. very bad. Homicide very bad (self-defence does obviously not count). But compared to some other numbers that are also bad, maybe homicide relatively not that bad.







  • ThePrimeagen invited Matt to explain what’s going on.

    TL;DW Matt’s claim is that he tried to get WP Engine to pay for a Trademark license (or whatever it’s called - I’m recalling from watching yesterday), over several months, and they tried to legally block him in every way. Their self-claimed contributions to Wordpress were (as he tells it) that they held conferences where they promoted their own stuff only - code contributions have been minimal.

    So the combination of not willing to pay for the trademark + not contributing back (not in code, not in helping the community) is Matt’s reasoning for blocking them from using Wordpress’ resources.

    He also mentioned that he has good relations with other Wordpress hosts, so it’s not like he’s trying to block anyone else from hosting, but they were all willing to pay for the use of the Trademark (and/or contribute back).
