It doesn't take long to run into a brick wall. Not even the GDPR version of USA Today works. NPR does though as does the BBC.
Oddly enough, with ye olde formatting, the BBC site shows how we're being treated as simpletons with sentence-length paragraphs.
... or will it be buried, like it seems anything to do with the Leave campaign and foreign funding has.
That link is the link equivalent of a modern UI suffering from all the typical problems we're on about here.
1. It's not actually a link, it needs to be copied and pasted.
2. You don't know what it is beforehand so you don't know if it's relevant or not.
3. Time could kill the link shorter (Google will be killing goo.gl).
4. Link shortners can take you to malware.
Here you go:
Don Norman - The Design of Everyday Things: Revised and Expanded Edition
No:
Windows 95 Usability Testing (1993)
There was a lot of thought put into it, unlike Windows 8, 8.1, and especially 10 where they fling any old shit at the wall to see what sticks.
Now you have to implement, maintain, pay for and secure two communications channels, and keep them both operative in order to do anything.
So the same as SMS then. Only SMS is more easily got round (a bit of social engineering with the operator's call centre droid or someone on the inside and you've got a duplicate SIM).
That was because Sinclair reused the ZX80 RAM pack mould instead of Rick's ZX81 RAM pack design.
For older devices, however, a firmware patch is going to be necessary to handle the week epoch rollover, and GPS.gov recommends anyone who is unsure about their readiness for the turnover, particularly enterprises, consult the manufacturer to make sure they have the proper updates and protections in place.
What do you think Garmin and TomTom are going to do, put out updates or sell the most they've sold in years?
Oh, Linux on an ARM laptop would be nice. It's the old Asus EEE laptop come full circle, useful for sysadmins, developers, and as a kid's computer. And you can have more colours than bright green.
The UK does not and has never had free speech rights until the Human Rights Act 1998 came along (which incorporates Article 10 of the ECHR into British law).
Government ministers have said on numerous occasions that they want to rescind the HRA and replace it with something else.
This the life one...
Conception to two years. All models covered.
Peppa Pig, for those fortunate enough to have avoided the cartoon, is an ageless talking pig-child who lives in a world populated by talking mammals. The squeaking of the creature and associated theme tune is usually enough to kick off an involuntary twitch in a parent’s eyelid while also assuring a few minutes of peace as offspring are transfixed.
It's like a David Attenborough documentary compared to competing cartoons.
I also identify with Daddy Pig and agree with your analysis. <twitch>
Low-level programming on the old 8-bit processors with their paucity of registers and addressing modes etc. always felt more like puzzle solving than most of what I've done since.
You should have tried the Z80, there are quite a few more than the 6502... I never thought the zero page was an adequate substitute.
The EU is willing to offer Single Market + Customs Union to the UK without it being a member of the EU, so where's the lack of compromise on the EU side?
The reality is this would have been all done and dusted six months ago if Theresa May didn't change her backstop from a NI-wide thing into a UK-wide thing... and then vote against it anyway.
Trouble is come March 30th there's going to be a big obstruction in the way:-
The UK.
Ireland is working on that. New routes from Dublin and Rosslare around the UK, skipping a possible logistics nightmare.
And going the other way, it seems the UK is also the obstruction, denying ECMT permits to Northern Irish haulage operators so they won't be able to work in Ireland in a no deal scenario, and if you read the tweet there's a lovely UNIX epoch bug in the message shown to haulage operators, which bodes well for the magic unicorn customs system on the NI border that the UK is proposing if they can't even get a date right.

Or similar always got a queue of people in Smiths.

Yeah, ten years of central-government imposed austerity does that to a country.
But not as much as leaving the EU with a deal yet not even knowing if you'll be able to trade with 71 countries via EU trade agreements during the transition period (Twitter link to jump over FT paywall). We ain't seen nothing yet.
I'm another time traveller just arrived from 1978 and I can see that nothing has changed, at least as far as vox pops go.
What's a coffee machine by the way, is it that thing which makes a cup of Mellow Birds?
It's incredibly rare to represent yourself.
But not as rare now as it was a few years ago...
