Stories are the purpley-yellow rings at the top of the main page with people's profile pictures. Or if you go to their profile you'll see the ring around their profile picture. Stuff you post there stays viewable for 24 hours.
Posts are the stuff that appears in the main feed and your profile permanently (unless you remove it manually)
You can also get into the difference between posts are reels but... they've kinda fuzzied that over the years.
where you can get a job dictates what city you live near, how much you are paid determines how close you can live to that city, and how much distance you want to keep from your neighbors sets the density you can stand.
Moving to a smaller city changes your job, which changes how much you are paid, which changes how close you can live to the city, and your neighbors may still suck. It's likely that you'll end up in the same soul-sucking commute life that you just left.
Your employer (large employers usually dictate what is covered by their insurance benefit offerings) may not care much about whether you end up with obesity-related diseases in your 60s and above.
Aggressive expansion, misunderstanding the market, higher prices, limited selection, data breach. Funny, they don't mention software (although they were using SAP ECC)
If no plain text version exists, maybe search for your plates plus a bunch of other random plates too. If you're interested in LMT-487 for example, maybe search for that plus and minus 100 on either end? Or go to the grocery store and search for all the plates you see there? :)
Palantir is a company chockful of dishonest and unethical people who should have no power whatsoever in our society because they've shown that they're happy to crush people for profit.

> That’s why, in 1993, I convinced my Cern managers to donate the intellectual property of the world wide web, putting it into the public domain. We gave the web away to everyone.
Before I first used the Web in 1991, I was on Usenet and of course Telnet and email-based systems, and Gopher also emerged around the same time. So the web didn't come out of nowhere, but the IP behind what we're still using, HTML and HTTP, freed from CERN's IP clutches is a good thing. Interesting that it was freed in 1993, once the momentum of the Web was becoming clear.
Might something else have emerged instead if CERN had said no? Who knows. Without the Web, the Internet itself might have stayed in its primarily research and academic domain. The rapid growth of the Web is in part what motivated the commercialization of the Internet and the "Information Superhighway", and then came the entrepeneurs and VCs, and well, here we are.
Could it have all happened based on Gopher instead? Who knows.
Technically, yes. I mean it took a lot more than just TBL’s contribution to build up to what we have today — for good or ill — but the fundamental idea that is the WWW was his.
