Certainly many others would have tried to invent something like the web.

HyperCard predated the web browser and had the concept of easy to build pages that linked. Lots of people were working on ways to deliver apps over the Internet.

I think in some alternative timeline we’d still have a lot of interactive content on the Internet somewhat like the web, but probably based on different technology. Maybe more proprietary.

You get to choose how your 401k is invested, though. The only difference is a tax advantage.

The advice is just: save money, let it grow using compound interest, use tax laws to your advantage.

There’s no “trust the government” in that advice.

Are you trying to illustrate the point?

It wasn’t 200, it was 2000.

And while most did not carry guns, they brought other weapons and armor, and used improvised devices as weapons. And some did bring guns. Source: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/07/28/politics/armed-insurrection-january-6-guns-fact-check/index.html

Thank God they were poorly organized and that the capitol police resisted…but it’s a complete lie to say it was 200 unarmed people.

This is all on video! This isn’t a matter of opinion!

Those are all protocols for accessing an entire calendar or sharing your whole calendar, not for general-purpose inviting one user to one event.

Also, did you fully cream the butter and sugar before adding any other ingredients?

If you just dump everything into the bowl and then mix, this is what happens

Did you scrape the bowl while mixing?

KitchenAid mixers are great, but depending on what you’re mixing you need to scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula and then mix some more.

I don’t think it’s over mixed, I think the cookies made from the batter that was stuck to the sides are under mixed.

It’s always a good idea to shop around when it comes to car insurance. Every company has their own formula.

Probably someone else’s insurance went down from $750 to $450.

Robot vacuums are great, but my Roomba is incredibly unreliable. I’m buying Roborock next time.

Doesn’t that also mean that ONE malicious person can get traffic off their local street or hurt a competitor’s business?

Just like moderating Lemmy, effectively policing user-generated content is a huge challenge.

I don’t think we know that yet, and I think the discovery will be interesting.

How many reports were there? Were they credible? What other sources of truth did Google consult in deciding to ignore those reports?

Google gets lots of reports and needs to filter out spam, and especially malicious reports like trying to mark a competitor’s business as closed, or trying to get less traffic in your neighborhood for selfish reasons. It wouldn’t be reasonable for Google to accept every user suggestion either.

So if Google reached out to the town and the town said the bridge is fine, then it’s not Google’s fault. If they ignored multiple credible complaints because the area was too rural to care about, that might be negligent.

Some people say there’s no malware for macOS and that’s obviously not true.

But others say macOS has malware so it’s no better than Windows in that regard, but I don’t think that’s true either.

Look at this example. It only works if it tricks users into downloading and running an unsigned executable, bypassing sometimes multiple warnings.

Yeah, don’t do that. Users could accidentally or maliciously type something that would get executed as python code and break your program

This is my vote too.

We have Orbi. I tried using power line to bridge the satellites, but it turned out it was unnecessary. Orbi uses a separate backhaul wireless network between the base and satellites and it worked really well.

I agree with you, but politics is complicated. If she felt like continuing to fight for nuclear at that time would be unpopular, it might not have been worth it. It probably would have made it impossible to achieve other goals.

I wouldn’t expect Gmail or most web mail hosts to work in a browser that old. Maybe if you used Gmail in basic HTML mode.

Just thinking outside the box here, what about an alarm or chime instead of a lock?

You can’t make it impossible for a child to open. But you can make sure that if they do open it, you’ll know.

Bulk mayo makes sense if you’re a restaurant or cafeteria or running a summer camp or something like that. Probably not for many other people.

Actually I’m going to disagree strongly with that statement.

Small business are far, far worse at abusing workers. If a small business fires you, you’ve got absolutely no recourse. They can lay you off with no severance and then hire someone new a day layer, and who’s going to do anything about it? They don’t have that many employees so there’s no pattern and no class-action, and you can’t afford to hire a lawyer to spend years fighting them in court.

In comparison, when you work at a big company, they have rules and an HR department to make sure they’re going everything legally. Your boss wants to fire you? First your boss has to give you a negative performance review detailing exactly what you’re doing wrong. Then they have to give you an opportunity to correct it. Only then can they fire you. At an absolute minimum, it gives you a chance to start looking for a new job. Often it gives you a chance to transfer within the company, if you were otherwise a well-liked and valuable employee.

If a large company wants to let you go, they’re going to give you severance pay and extended benefits.

Of course you hear about the occasional incident where Elon Musk fires someone on the spot or a Disney employee gets reprimanded for something silly. But those incidents are extremely rare, and most of the time they end up settling behind the scenes for a nice severance.

Now, I know, I know. The HR department is there to protect the company, not you. But that’s exactly why the HR department ensures employees are treated well, even when they’re fired - because they don’t want a lawsuit later.

Zoom is one of the big ones, though, relatively.

They pay big tech salaries. So anyone leaving a job at Zoom would definitely be competing against those 150k who we’re laid off this year.
