This is so incredibly wrong: Once you have put a page on the Web, you need to keep it there indefinitely

We need a curated web, not a swamp of every web page that ever existed.

Too flammable, and the wood twists too easily with the coastal humidity.

In Big Sur you can find prickly pears and sweet lemon trees at old homesteads.

Meanwhile, people with no scientific training are entrusted to run A/B tests and other web experiments.

Practically all web marketing experiments and analysis is invalid, and not replicable. But it pays the bills for everyone to pretend its legitimate.

Re:Is Web3 Bullshit? on Sunday December 05, 2021 @10:00AM (#29449749)
Yes. Metaverse also.

The phrase "social media" has become passé and even toxic.

The language around BTC & Crypto have political & other baggage.

Web3 is an attempt to re-package the past 10-15 years of web trends in a hip new label that leaves behind the baggage and allows for the appearance of "new stuff happening". But nothing much new is happening.

Depends on the country. In a place like India or Mexico, people everywhere are doing things every day that would make headlines in the US.

An entire family of 4 riding on a single motorcycle without helmets in heavy traffic? Normal in India. Would generate new for weeks if done in the USA, parents would be arrested for child abuse.

Teenagers aren't available until, what, 4PM? Who is supposed to run the restaurant the first 12 hrs of every day?

Strongly disagree. Recently took a graduate level database management course, and using Instructure was one of the hardest parts of the course. Poor information flow, too many places to have to check for notifications, tasks, and basic information.

Seeking Freelancer | BMC | Part-time | Remote

BMC has a number of websites, these are the main ones: https://www.bmc.com/ (AEM) https://www.bmc.com/blogs/ (WordPress) http://communities.bmc.com/ (Jive)

I'm looking for a person to help improve our website UX/UI, improve on our consistency of patterns and elements, help design A/B tests and experiments, and that sort of thing. Our DevOps team handles implementation and most coding.

Probably 20 hrs per week, 6 month contract to start, and see how the role grows.

Also should add - some molecules like Nitric Oxide act as both an antioxdiant and free radical.

The vitamin sellers often use the browning of a cut apple as an easy-to-explain example of the effects of oxidation.
