I know why people use Wix sites (or Weebly). Folks are a bit intimidated about setting up their websites but this is one shortcut that is not worth it. I want you to know why you should not use Wix for your website or blog, no matter how tempting it is. 1. It’s not good for branding. Wix is known for cheap, but you own nothing for yourself. The domain, the template or even the content. People will feel that you are not actually in business if you are using a domain like xxx.wix.com. Wix makes it easy to jump right in, throw collectively an internet page and post it. 2. Your Website Will Load Slow. Wix websites load slower than those built on HTML (like WordPress) and this will lose people who do want to read about you. Why? We have very little patience and having to wait 10 seconds to see a website is something we’re not used to. We will just click off. Slow loading sites will turn visitors off, and first impressions on the web can be everything. It can keep someone from vis

Complete with a physical card for in-store payments Google is reportedly testing its own Google-branded smart debit card that will help customers make and track purchases made online and in stores, according to a report from TechCrunch . The project is meant to be a new centerpiece for Google’s existing Google Pay system, which currently only does online and peer-to-peer payments by adding a physical debit card that could be used for a wider variety of purchases. An expanded debit card presence would allow Google to be more useful in keeping track of payments and purchases, as well as provide the company with valuable insight on consumer spending. Unlike Apple’s own Apple Card — which is a full-blown credit card — the Google project is said to be a debit card, with partners like Citi and Stanford Federal Credit Union (the card itself is a Visa card, although Google may expand that to other payment processors like Mastercard, too.) But much like the Apple Card, the Goo
Across the world, governments and health authorities are working together to find solutions to the COVID-19 pandemic, to protect people and get society back up and running. Software developers are contributing by crafting technical tools to help combat the virus and save lives. In this spirit of collaboration, Google and Apple are announcing a joint effort to enable the use of Bluetooth technology to help governments and health agencies reduce the spread of the virus, with user privacy and security central to the design. Since COVID-19 can be transmitted through close proximity to affected individuals, public health organizations have identified contact tracing as a valuable tool to help contain its spread. A number of leading public health authorities, universities, and NGOs around the world have been doing important work to develop opt-in contact tracing technology. To further this cause, Apple and Google will be launching a comprehensive solution that includes application p
The popular video conferencing app has been a godsend during the era of social distancing. But it also puts your privacy at risk. With most of the world working from home due to the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) , we’re finding new ways to communicate with our colleagues virtually, from chatting on Slack to hanging out on Google. But perhaps no service has prospered more during the pandemic than Zoom , which has seen its global daily active users skyrocket 67 percent since the start of the year. By now, you’ve probably taken part in at least one conference call, happy hour, or fitness class on the app. Zoom’s meteoric rise has no doubt helped millions of people maintain a new kind of normalcy while we all stay indoors indefinitely—but with more and more people using the video conferencing tool every day, that means the privacy risks of using the platform have risen accordingly. Stories of “Zoomboming” and Zoom hacks are on the rise . Teachers are experiencing disru

Google ( GOOGL ) is publicly releasing the data it's already collecting about people's movements during the coronavirus pandemic . The company said it plans to publish a series of "Community Mobility Reports" to show the types of places people are visiting across 131 countries and regions. The first report was published on Friday. Google said in a blog post it hopes tracking movement trends over time and by geography could help shape and inform governments' and public health officials' response to the coronavirus pandemic. The reports, which contain data from two to three days earlier, intend to spot trends in how people are behaving and responding to social distancing. Broken down by country and then by region, the reports will show if people are headed to retail and grocery stores, pharmacies, parks, workplaces and more. It'll also show how busy these places were before the pandemic. The company said the findings are "created with
Autonomous shuttles are being used to move COVID-19 tests from a Jacksonville, Florida testing site to a nearby Mayo Clinic processing location, in what the medical nonprofit is calling a “first” for the US. But as is often the case with autonomous vehicle pilot programs, there’s a catch: during each run made to and from the clinic, the self-driving shuttles are being trailed by an SUV driven by a human. The SUV can be spotted in a video released by the Mayo Clinic (seen above) after one of the Mayo Clinic workers loads the cooler of tests onto the self-driving shuttle. The SUV then follows the shuttle across the Mayo Clinic’s campus, where the batch of fresh tests is swapped for another cooler. Four of these vehicles have made the same run back and forth each day since March 30th. In a statement provided to The Verge , Joe Moye, the CEO of autonomous vehicle operator Beep, said the Jacksonville Transportation Authority is providing the chase vehicles to “ensure no traffic or
Depending on the company, U.S. tech giants from Amazon to Cisco Systems are worried that national quarantines and a deteriorating business environment caused by the global coronavirus pandemic will lead to layoffs and loss of income. Based on an emailed survey to tech company staffers hosted by Blind, 53.8% of employees at the big U.S. tech firms are concerned about job security. Some 62% think their total income is going to be negatively affected by the outbreak. Blind conducts “blind surveys” online through a large email list of tech company employees to gauge sentiment on numerous issues. The survey data was released this week and was conducted between March 9 and 11. Slightly more than 7,000 people responded to the survey. Online travel booking company Expedia, Uber, and Intel were some of the companies where employees are most concerned about their job security. Google, Uber, Cisco Systems, Oracle and Expedia employees were also most concerned that their income will be
Chinese telecoms giant Huawei has launched a legal challenge to a decision by US regulators to classify it as a national security threat. It comes after the US Federal Communications Commission put curbs on rural mobile providers using a $8.5bn (£6.5bn) government fund to buy Huawei equipment. The firm said evidence that it was a threat to security "does not exist". The move is the latest in a series of challenges between Huawei and the US. The company has asked the US Court of Appeal to overturn the decision. Speaking at a news conference at Huawei's headquarters in Shenzhen, the company's chief legal officer, Song Liuping, said: "The US government has never presented real evidence to show that Huawei is a national security threat. That's because this evidence does not exist." This is the second legal challenge this year by the company as it fights back against the Trump administration's policies. Huawei launched similar leg
As a startup, it can be challenging to decide which programming language to use. Considering the plethora of options, it is important that you consider the future scalability and integration of the language you use. You’ll also want to conduct some market research. The goal is to focus on a language that will allow for growth, based on your potential prospects. Although each project differs in terms of its requirements, it is important to become familiar with Python -- especially if you’re building your own startup. Although Java, C++, JavaScript and Ruby are all common coding languages, Python is quickly growing in popularity. Built for its readability, it is easy to quickly learn and understand Python. From web applications to machine learning, this well-structured language can support your startup in the following ways. 1. Python is user-friendly. Although often used as a high-level programming language, Python is also ideal for beginner programmers as it
