I have literally once offered my seat to a pregnant woman on the Tube in London and it turned out that she was just overweight round the middle and not pregnant. It was extremely embarrassing for both of us.

I greatly appreciate the women who wear these badges: https://tfl.gov.uk/forms/23479.aspx because it makes it unambiguous. It can honestly be hard on a packed London underground train to tell the difference between a pregnant woman and someone who is simply overweight.

Some commutes just can't be fixed. It's easy if you're single and rootless, but once you have kids, schools, other people's jobs and lives to consider, it becomes exponentially harder.

I commute just under 2 hours each way to London. All the work is in London. I used to live in London when I was younger. I would rather jump off a bridge than live in London now.

The way to compensate is by working partly remotely. That way you get to enjoy the place you live at least part of the time.
If I spot someone whom I think might be pregnant I just stand up without comment. I don't want to make the mistake someone made with a female relative of mine: "Oh, are you expecting? Would you like to sit down?", to which she replied with a smile "No thanks, I'm just fat".

How often do you upgrade or purchase a new Apple device? Once per year? I'll take one instance of setting up permissions for stock apps (Many of which I don't use) over granting them unfettered access to my data and device services any day of the year. For instance, under no circumstances do I want Location Services enabled for: "App Store, Camera, Facebook, Messages, Siri, Twitter, HomeKit, Location based Alerts or Ads or Suggestions, WiFi Networking, Frequent Locations, Diagnostics and Usage, or Popular Near Me.

> ...if criminal behaviour is suspected, facilities can be legally withdrawn.

This is unacceptable. The UK government has pushed all the risk to the bank, and this quasi-legal removal of the rule of law with respect to citizens having control of their own money is the result.

It should not be legal for the bank to withdraw access to funds for an extended period of time without a criminal standard of evidence.
What Employees Value More Than Salary, According to Glassdoor
In Australia when pay/cable TV first came in it was ad free, but then ads were slowly added to it, first just ads for content on the channel, but then normal ads came in. People were rightly angry about this because they thought that by paying for TV they could skip the ads.

However it turned out that by paying for TV they were signaling to advertisers that they were better off (and willing to spend money for things) than regular free-to-air TV watching people, and therefore their eyeballs were worth more. So now pay/cable TV in Australia has more ads per hour than free to air TV.
And so circling back to the original question:

> Why can't they just charge tv subscribers the whole amount and get rid of ads on tv?

It's because doing that would mean artificially constraining their own business when they don't have to do that. So why would they?

It's even worse with Universal Clipboard, the feature that seamlessly shares your active clipboard between your mac and iOS devices. I have seen the official Facebook iOS app trigger a "Pasting from <mac-hostname>..." spinner when starting up, because Facebook silently steals your clipboard on startup/resume, and they are probably an API that happens to now possess Universal Clipboard powers and thus are triggering a clipboard content pull from the mac.
Agreed. Especially that they're charging £3.99 for it.

I'm also surprised to see this on BBC of all places, since Transport for London specifically makes "Baby on Board" buttons for pregnant women to wear to make it more obvious for commuters.
https://tfl.gov.uk/forms/23479.aspx

I think some commuters might be just oblivious to the need some of pregnant and elderly folks, without actually trying to intentionally deny them a seat. I feel that raising awareness instead of reverting to an app, is a better long-term approach.

When my wife was pregnant (this was in London) she would specifically ask people if she could have their seat. Nobody ever refused, nor did they even appear annoyed. Even in very crowded carriages.

The Moto Z family has something similar (an internal battery plus an optional removable external battery). And from what I've read, the technology it uses seems to be in part based on Google's modular phone prototype.
If I remember rightly, the real innovation was the "app store" (even if that came slightly after the iPhone launch). It was surprisingly hard to actually get S60 apps.
Don't listen to those other doofuses, if you want to learn a weird language, I've got the one for you: Prolog!

You'll never use it in industry, but a few weeks with Prolog will bend your mind in just the right ways and teach you more about how you can model computation differently than six months with a Lisp. It's also cool as shit and really fun to program in. Prolog is a language you can learn just for the sheer joy in expanding your notions of what programming is, or at least could be.
I don't get it. The whole concept only works if there are people who have deliberately installed the free version so that they actually get the notifications. Seems like a whole lot of work and £3.99 for a very small chance of anyone actually noticing.

After 9/11 Bush's popularity shot through the roof, so I dispute your claim that terrorism causes a politician to become unelectable. I'm sure you can think of many other events that should have ruined a politician's career but didn't.

The "is removing theater worth the risk" rhetoric, along with "somebody please think of the children", can be used to dismantle ANY of the freedoms we currently enjoy. So I don't find that at all persuasive.

If it's possible for politicians to introduce new invasive laws but impossible to remove them then it's pretty clear where the country ends up.

So yes, it's totally 100% worth the risk. Because the alternative is accepting that all our freedoms will continue to erode, and that's far more depressing than any amount of terrorism.

Indeed. I think it would be helpful if our society could have some forum that would make an officially recognised determination of whether someone suspected of criminal activity had actually committed those criminal acts, based on the available evidence either way, on a case by case basis. That same forum would also be well placed to determine any temporary measures that were necessary and proportionate to protect the interests of all concerned until it reached its final decision.

I don't think commercial service providers are likely to be a good choice for that forum, though. We should probably consider something else.

Maybe I'm being too "po-mo" about it, but I have doubts that "fake news" is a problem that has a "99% accurate" solution.

Eg: This is a photo of a sleeping man. Are you 99% sure it's a man? Is there a 1% chance it might be a woman with masculine features? Could it be a cardboard cutout? Could it be digitally manipulated? Are you sure he's sleeping and not dead?

"probably" isn't a good enough standard when the weapon system can end hundreds of thousands of lives and is paid for by the taxpayer. And really it's the second thing that people are upset about.

Intelligence services of the world, are you listening? There is something to learn from the way these companies have managed to create themselves an army of informers. First they managed to convince people to pay for their own personal tracking devices, putting one in nearly every pocket. They come equipped with microphones and cameras, with satellite positioning, with everything you could wish for to keep tab on your subjects. Next they managed to convince them to use those devices to create a detailed profile of their interests and their friends and relatives, there to be perused at will. And now they've gone a step further, convincing them to put microphones in their domiciles, always listening, net-connected, recording all the time. With voice recognition to ease the transcription of anything of interest. If anything these commercial intelligence services suffer from an overload of data on their subjects, not a dearth of such as is the usual case for governmental services.

Note to current and future governments: outsource intelligence gathering, it is much more effective that way.
