There aren't many things on that list that we wouldn't be better off without. Is that really what you meant? You're in favour of big oil companies, hedge funds and the military-industrial complex? The latter is particularly

There's a tragedy of the commons at work here. Amazon is playing in a new global marketplace, and the unquestioned assumption is that the lower prices that result for consumers are an overall good for society. But there are plenty of i

And yet your original comment didn't say that, it just immediately went #notallmen. If you admit there's a problem, start with that. If you must start a tone fight, do it as an aside.

Their source material here is 1 million pages of HTML, they don't have (on my reading) some separate source of "structured data" for the modern template system to use. It seems reasonable (and possibly low) for a 90 days esti

The frustrating thing is that organising information like is what the web was designed for. I think two things would make it realisable: - Browsers that supported page-editing of the page you were looking at in some sane way - A linkback&#x

Really? Almost everyone I know checks a journey planner app just before setting off. Most of us have a choice of station or stop to set off from, and that's when you need the app most. Also your default search is set to "leaving n

Citymapper has this bizarre flaw (in London at least) where it relies on average times to give you journey times. So, for example, if your train takes 10 minutes to reach your destination, leaves your local station every 30 minutes and you&

No, the consequences were the same before and after the incident: a total system reboot. The varying factor here was temporal: it was usually a low-risk action when the office was empty, a high-risk one when the office was full. The neglige

It is. Which is why everyone in Unix who types "rm -rf " then types their next character _very carefully_ and reads the line before committing. I'm trying to say that when you've got something dangerous without safeguard

He said he came in to find the system running, and the only time that happened was when Washington was waiting for info. And even if you don't buy that, if pushing the button's not a big deal it doesn't need all the safeguard

"How do you expect them to do anything?" By getting informed consent before experimenting on their users? You act like this is some outrageous bar they have to cross: it isn't.

It's true - and then iGoogle got killed off! It's time for the return of the personal dashboard, I reckon.

That web dashboard that combines mail, notes, calendar and to-dos in one screen is great - I would like that today, and I don't think I can get it.

There can be lots of reasons, not all of them just "that's what the market will bear". There is a genuine cost of doing business in the UK, for instance, in that you can't fire staff on a whim, have to pay national insur

A side point, the desktop was cleverer about that: it was supposed to be a temporary working space somewhat outside the filesystem, rather than its root. Files from a volume still knew where which folder they were supposed to go in on tha
