I use a password manager. I have no idea what ANY of my passwords are, as they're very long, very random, etc.

I get your point... but having an expiry that can't generate a notification is really bizarre. And having done enterprise financial software in a previous life (company was actually sold to FISERV, though I never went over), if our customers had been subjected to these conditions, it would have been a massive challenge.
It's a product with a price tag and spec sheet anyone can find. Can't really see how they can be any more transparent.
Don't forget AT&T. They became a monopoly, and wiped out everyone else. Whole industries would have probably not arisen if they hadn't been blocked by anti-trust. And then they were split up.

If you have a land line, odds are that your local phone, your long distance service, and your cell carrier are all carried by pieces of AT&T. Pieces that would have reassembled if not blocked by anti-trust. And even if your provider is actually new, they could not have come into existence without rules requiring interoperability.

Some monopolies are "natural", as in once one is established, it is hard to squeeze in on them. For example there is no point to a phone that can't call all the people you want to call. So everyone naturally gravitates to the same network. Most businesses are not natural monopolies. Just because my friends shop at Ralph's doesn't mean that I can't shop at Safeway.

Whether you have a natural monopoly isn't a question of size, it is a question of the unit economics. Retail is a notable example where your advantage as the 800 pound gorilla only goes so far. But technology has many examples where your advantage can be more lasting. (AT&T's decades long monopoly is the best example.)
After they received training when they learn that this step is important and not just a formality, and why it is done, I found that people do observe procedures, especially when they have to sign the checklist they filled themselves.

Human beings observe procedures when they understand it's part of the job and they are held accountable.
> Why does a browser need a revenue model?

Because development isn't free.

> Why can't a browser just be a piece of software that's "finished", with the occasional security patch?

Developing security patches for the dwindling user base such a browser would have isn't free, either.

But even if such a browser existed, the browsers people would actually be using would be the ones evolving with the things people want from the web.

> "...one quality that truly makes something a monopoply... hamper the ability to switch to another product."

substitutability isn't often discussed because it's a minor symptom of monopolies and wholly insufficient by itself to prove monopoly power, as every monopolist will have some competition and substitutes. it's unrealistic to expect a monopolist to own 100% of a market (have no competition). it's even more unrealistic to expect no substitutes on top of no competition (a substitute is using an adjacent-market product).
I have not heard anyone complain in person about the government killing net neutrality. The general public is not harboring resentment about it.
That makes sense, but is also a nightmare IMO. The lack of oversight of money means that you cannot be totally barred from participating in the economic system by the goverement.

If the government had even more control over money, they could arbitrarily blacklist people from having access to currency. While this sounds like a good tool to use against criminals, recall that, in America at least, there exist things such as the no fly list [0], which impacts people's rights without due process.

A few things the article might have added:

* When getting on the Autobahn, there will always be a "Beschleunigungsstreifen" or acceleration lane. Use it to get to speed while watching the traffic on your left (while signalling, needless to say), then merge in.

* When getting off the Autobahn ("Ausfahrt", ha, always on the right (with < 5 exceptions)), there will be 3 beacons with 3, 2, 1 white stripes on a blue background indicating 300, 200, 100 metres to the beginning of the deceleration lane. Start signalling at the 300m sign, and do not slow down until you've changed onto the deceleration lane (as otherwise you'd force those behind you to slow down & reaccelerate).

* As mentioned, do not overtake on the right. However, if the highway splits (or at an exit), the broken white line dividing the lanes will change: wider and with shorter gaps. Here, one may overtake on the right.

Wellcome Sanger Institute | Full-Time | On-site | Cambridge, UK

Hello! Do you know UNIX and how to responsibly manage compute, and want to work in an academic environment?

You could move to Cambridge and replace me:

https://jobs.sanger.ac.uk/vacancy/senior-bioinformatician-wo...

In fact you should do better than me, because it now says senior and I wasn't a senior. I have really enjoyed working at this job, and I'm leaving it after a year and a half because I'm moving to the United States.

It's for a resource with genomes of parasitic worms. You'll support a small community of researchers that study host-parasite interactions, search for candidate new drugs, and in general are worth supporting.

The bread and butter of the job is writing and running code that moves data around and runs heavy computations on it, resulting in a new data release every few months. You'll help researchers at Sanger with their use of the resource, reply to helpdesk tickets, write to ask people for data, and go to conferences once or twice a year.

You'll be a Bioinformatician, not a Developer, which means your code can be as good as you want it to be, but there are no brownie points for it. There is opportunity to develop more stuff - I've had a half a year long greenfield project - but it's more important that releases happen, and that the data is correct.

The team is tiny, and the amount of good stuff you do will be limited by how much time you have, so this really suits someone who can handle responsibility well. It helps to know Perl and have bioinformatics experience but you can learn both on the job if you meet other prerequisites.
> The coordinator told me that they plan to convert those bike lanes to protected bike lanes. I told them that the problem was the crossing between the bike lanes and the highway exits and onramps, not that the bike lane wasn't protected. Whenever Austin makes a protected bike lane, they don't protect the crossings, so a protected bike lane can't address the problems I have.

The only real way to protect the crossing is to protect it the same way that the crossing of I-35 is protected from the surface street you're riding on. That is, you need a grade separated interchange for cyclist traffic.

The other way would be to ignore the bike lane and ride in the center of the lane that you would use if you were driving a car through there.
Your comment contradicts itself. It wasn't always called iOS if it was called iPhone OS "for a very short period of time."

And the period of time was not "very short" by my definition at least.

According to [0]:

> Apple announced iPhone OS 1 at the iPhone keynote on January 9, 2007, and it was released to the public alongside the original iPhone on June 29, 2007.
> Apple announced iPhone OS 2 at the iPhone software roadmap keynote in March 2008, and it was released to the public on July 11, 2008 alongside the iPhone 3G.
> Apple announced iPhone OS 3 in March 2009, and it was released to the public on June 17, 2009 alongside the iPhone 3GS.
> Apple announced iOS 4 in March 2010 and it was released to the public on June 21, 2010 alongside the iPhone 4.

It was called iPhone OS for roughly 3 years. About 25% of the time since the OS was released it was called iPhone OS.

One of my great experiences of last year was driving a giant snake-like Audi on the autobahn while listening to Kraftwerk, but muh dude has a point. Stuff can get pretty intense, especially up in the crowded regions of the Ruhr. I actually trusted most of the other drivers because their behavior was precise rather than foolhardy and because I know about the ridiculous $4000 training program for the Führerschein, but those would have looked like real dick moves if done in any other part of the world.

For my money, best driving experience for a country is Spain. First class roads and drivers. Not too intense.
I think the tooling that’s rolling out to support building apps for each platform flavor (Marzipan, Catalyst, SwiftUI) make this a lot easier. There’s also always been a bias in some dev circles towards making dedicated iPad experiences and not just scaling the iPhone app UI. I think Apple has had the benefit of market position to let it take a long time to come to this point rather than needing to differentiate platforms to try to leapfrog over a competitor.
[0] worst experience is that this guy cut me off, almost hitting me, I flipped him off and he proceeded to try to hit me with his car. As in he got behind me and came over into the bike lane. I bailed into the sidewalk and he hit the curb, then he drives off.

Cars are an incredibly anti-social medium. It creates a bubble of metal and glass around drivers making them think they're impervious and don't have to interact with other humans in socially acceptable ways. We really should have much harsher point systems for taking away driver licenses.

For this to be a no-true-Scotsman, I would have to have claimed all bans, which I did not do. It's not an appeal to purity.

Since this is the internet and people will nitpick things to death, I said Typically, because in any normalized population of bans you're going to have outlying false negatives and false positives, in which you've gone to lengths to dig up and present one.

How do you even know that Anti-Media was banned for their speech anyways? According to them they never received a reason.

TechCrunch has been one of the leading media outlets of the tech industry for at least 12-13 years. It's always been one of the most frequent news sources on HN, since right back to when HN started.

There needn't be any conspiracy to this; many TC stories get submitted to HN because TC continues to produce solid coverage of the big stories in the industry, and people upvote those stories because they think that coverage is good.
Lowering speed limits to 40/30 km/h is a wise and better move in densely populated areas. It protects pedestrians too.

I think that’s the safest and best option, it apparently get help traffic flow easier too.
I dont see a place to "apply".
We really do have two kinds of cyclists, and we're unjustly forcing them to follow the same rules. We chose to treat bicycles more like cars than like pedestrians, to the detriment of less-capable cyclists who care to follow the law.

We probably ought to offer and require license plates (tags) for people who wish to ride with the cars. Licensing would be as for a motorcycle, plus a requirement to demonstrate speed and acceleration. The plates could be colored by performance, indicating what roads may be used.

Unlicensed riders, plus those not displaying their license plate, would have a low speed limit and would be restricted to low-speed roads. They would also be allowed on sidewalks as long as they are going slow.
Will the new desktop site mode actually enable Safari features that mobile Safari does not support? I can actually name a few sites that don't work in mobile Safari because the browser doesn't support features those apps need (AWS Cloud 9 is one) but I don't think just requesting a desktop site would actually make those sites usable.

What is a natural monopoly depends on government regulation. In particular regulations granting access from one company's system to another's can stop natural monopolies from being natural monopolies.

A simple example is that the pattern of long thin property rights needed to create a railway system completely blocks anyone from creating criss-crossing railroads that would allow them to compete. But government rules forcing the initial company to allow competitors to cross or share its railways will create competition.

Forced access to long distance telephone networks has the same effect.

It's interesting to hear my mechanic friends talk about much heavier newer cars are now with all the safety features and reinforced doors and quarter panels.

One of my buddies held onto his old souped up CRX for years until the DMV forced him to get a newer car. He said the same thing. Rock solid at high speeds and still managed 35-40 mpg on a regular basis.

You know, that's a good point. And I can't deny that now I'm probably locked into it by loose (/very/ loose) association. But yes I poorly chose my words, I'm sorry.

Your example of branding is appropriate because at this stage I can't see paganism as anything more than a satire religion in the vein of bob or FSM or hell even the Twilight fanbase while we're at it. The edginess is all equally adorable.

They have half-remembered christianity-mingled rituals and holy men, probably. Just like how the Church of the Subgenius has a preacher and gospel and we're all adherents of Bob or the FSM when praying that our code runs. Only difference is that they pretend that it has age and significance that - for all they know - could be the result of christian priests wiping their butt with old norse practices as any correct ritualistic lineage.

I wish they would be honest about the fact that they are satirical. Things already readily not taken seriously are anathema to the fascist. So it wouldn't even be an issue if they were honest. No one is trying to appropriate Bob's face to be an edgy viking. Maybe they should get their branding together so people like me don't have to clarify it being for entertainment value only.
In France to my knowledge we don’t have a right to chargebacks, the only case when we can be reimbursed is when a fraudulent use of our card is made and we then declare a credit card number theft and the card is blocked. How is the situation in other European countries?

Imagine we're 20 years into the future and Ford has just successfully managed to lobby (with quite some industry support, mind you) for mandatory Vehicle-to-Vehicle/Infrastructure comms, where every car has to be able to talk to every set of traffic lights, speed sign, and other vehicle.

Now imagine that the V2X standard which just got enshrined in law states that every vehicle has to be compatible with every other vehicle etc. And Ford sat down with GM, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda and Hyundai, and offered them a proprietary component which just so happens to do all this V2X stuff without any hassle. And they all agree to use it.

It only be legally built by Ford, but they're the V2X experts so that's OK, right, I mean they're doing a public service, right? Ford is pretty happy selling this component to GM, Toyota, Honda, etc. for a very reasonable fee, so how can there be an issue?

Now imagine some new car company wants to build cars which compete with Ford's cars, and Ford says 'nope, you can't buy our V2X component.' And booyah, Ford now controls who can and can't enter the market.

Hmm.

I have ‘unit tests’ in my excel files on the last tab. Eg, the sum of all lines in the Data tab must be the same as the sum of the annual revenues in the dashboard tab.

With a bit of conditional formatting it’s easy to see if a test is failing as well.

I like programming for lots of things, but ask me to do a business case or some one-off analysis and I’d use Excel in most cases.
