I don't think it's the consumer market. It's more expensive to manufacture with physical controls, keyboards, and moving parts. It wasn't lack of consumer demand that killed the phono jack.

. "Twin cartons of two less a score m'lud" is what the egg valet relayed to me.

Why do they black these things ooooouuutt!

A song. Take away the tune and the lyrics. What's left, the part that really matters, is a pattern of vibes. What do you call that "pattern of vibes"? in c/[email protected]

What if we kissed on the gorilla couch?

If I was a Health Care CEO after Luigi and felt in fear of my life from someone else how would I hire security? What would be a good deal? And does security act like the Secret Service to take a bulle in c/[email protected]

This is truer than you can imagine. At least from what he told me.

I ate so many cookies I wasn't hungry. I'm sure there will be regrets - I might need a Tums before bed.

I don't know if this is what your after, but I flew into Denver today. I ate a takeout burrito in my hotel room while watching tv. I'm going to be in bed by 8.

She doesn't really watch hockey so I don't know what her opinion is worth. But she wanted to do Leafs Lucky Guess with me this morning. Evidently we are going to lose 16-1 or something.

Do audits actually matter? (self.news)

The US 2nd circuit has ruled that auditors opinions aren't relevant in cases of investor fraud because the statements are too vague for people to rely on. Whut?

Wall Street Journal article here for those who have access.

Here is a professor's blog entry for a barrier free commentary on the importance of the case.

What is the biggest corporate heel turn that you know? (self.asklemmy)
 

I was thinking about this after listening to Marc Andreassen blather on about how he doesn't trust government as a repository of trusted keys and other functions. He advocates for private companies to perform critical functions. Standard libertarian stuff in many respects.

The problem of course is that corporations lack accountability. They can shift terms and conditions or corporate purpose and there is little meaningful recourse except to stop using them. I can think of small examples that don't widely resonate (Mountain Equipment Co-op I'm thinking of you 🤬) but are there big examples that I'm missing?

Recommendations for lightweight WSYWIG page editor? (self.webdev)
submitted 2 years ago by DrBob to c/[email protected]

I am finally going to join the '90s and set up a blog. The audience is mostly students to show how the academic stuff blends with real world professional practice. I'm an adjunct so I have a foot in both worlds.

I have my domain names (parked for years) and free webhosting through my university - but the university doesn't provide any development tools. All of the recommended tools I've run across (weebly, wix, webflow etc.) either want to host the page, manage the domain name, or require a fee to link the page to my host. I'm simply looking for a low cost site builder where I can edit my files and move them to my webspace.

Any recommendations for a WSYWIG style editor? I'd be happy to not have to learn any actual coding, but will if I have to.

The last time I did any of this I was manually tagging static pages in notepad (lol).
