- finackI look forward to this never happening again and not becoming a massive problem for the next 10 years.
- Corporations really are amazing. They are, simultaneously, in a superposition of getting away with crimes because they don't exist, and providing goods and services and benefitting shareholders because they do. Remarkable.
- No they don't. Rules for companies and individuals are different in this country, unless you possess some secret to getting away with potentially ruining the lives of 1.5 times the population of the United States with the financial equivalent of a slap on the wrist.
- Ah, so you want a service that forces employers to tell the truth. I think that's called "Congress", but it looks like it's been abandoned for a few years now.
- Crazy idea: provide a search box, and when the user hits "enter", POST the data to the backend, which queries the database, and then returns the relevant results.
- Until Google decides to give developers the ability to let the browser invade the rest of the system, which, in six months, will suddenly be necessary for everyone to do things like bank online and pay utility bills.
- Web browsers can already do that. I'm not sure what else is desired beyond what they already do.
- A lot of people died of heat stroke in India today.
- I'm sorry one injury invalidates an entire mode of transit. Better luck next planet, I guess.
- It's just kind of the experience, I don't know. It has a certain familiarity, but there's also the shared experience aspect of it. I don't like to be cloistered more and more at home, despite that being the overwhelming arc of American culture. Sometimes it's nice to enjoy a shared, familiar experience (even if the popcorn costs too much).
- I'm not, I'm using my decade of experience and nascent alcoholism.
- None of these things are in scope for a program that is supposed to browse the web (by fetching web pages and rendering them).
- Could it actually be the hundreds of megabytes of JavaScript each website insists on executing?
