Pineapple is objectively the best pizza topping because it's one of the only toppings which makes pizza into a fully rounded scientific flavor experience. The five flavors which we can detect are sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami (savory). A basic cheese pizza covers two, maybe three of these flavors — salty, umami, and maybe sweet, depending on the sauce used. Pineapple covers three flavors — sweet, sour, and bi…
> The five flavors which we can detect are sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami (savory). This is nonsense. Your tongue is far more sensitive than that. How would you characterize the flavor of butter?

#33If WordPress dies it'll be one of the best things to happen to the web in a decade. People will be forced to use something else, so a product with actual security, and a design from after 2001, can finally get traction.
A persistent annoying thing I've had to maintain for years has been WordPress sites. As a Systems Engineer, their design is particularly annoying to support, and the way they are changed and deployed leads to tons of predictable failures. It's possible to turn WordPress into a real, CI/CD driven, ephemeral deploys, with diffed, staged, tested database changes. But for some reason nobody has built that as a canned solution (I did long ago for a previous employer).
Fun fact: the reason you get a billion blog results when you try to Google for a recipe, is 1) a WordPress plugin that auto-generates recipe blogs, and 2) a Google Metadata thing in the page for encoding recipes. Google prioritizes all those blogs with the recipe metadata. End result: millions of garbage blogs churned out via WP, and nothing but garbage results. Not really sure why Google continues to prioritize garbage.

#34I've never understood the hatred towards pineapple on pizza. I like it. I can certainly think of much weirder things I've seen on pizza with no public outcry.
It's the same kind of polarizing concept as beans in chili.
I mean there's chili and then there's chili with no beans. Two entirely different concepts.

#35- "a judge ordered Mullenweg to remove a controversial login checkbox from WordPress.org that required users to pledge that they were not affiliated with WP Engine before logging in"
So, in short, he's mad at the court for ordering him to do something, and (while the lawsuit is still running!) is basically mocking the court order, and trolling the judge and plaintiff.
This guy has an attorney somewhere, and that attorney has this guy for a client. That poor attorney.

You hooked me, can’t resist the recipe challenge :
Caramelized onions (sweet), sun-dried tomatoes (sour), roquette salad or kale (bitter), olives (salty), and mushrooms or tempeh (umami)
I’m hungry now

I don't think you read the article.

#38For context, this is revenge to a court forcing him by injunction to remove the previous version of the checkbox (which required stating you are not affiliated with, or using, WP Engine). https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42382829
Which is just childish because the court doesn't give a damn about this. As long as the court's orders were followed, that's all they have domain over.
I wonder if all these outbursts continue to hurt his case, since it’s making it exceptionally clear that it was all a deliberate attempt.
That or he’s trying the reliable old, cancelled-by-the-courts censorship grifting treadmill, to try and use it to spin into into politics (for which I suspect the boat has sailed already).

Are you a HN admin/dev/mod now?
No, anyone can technically vouch dead posts with 31 karma or higher. Vouching is the inverse of a flag.

No. Although I may not have the exact reason the domain was banned, I've been around long enough to observe that everytime a 404media.co article is posted and gets traction, the comments unanimously complain about the paywall and it gets flagkilled.
Vouching is intended as a corrective check on things that shouldn't be automatically killed.
