No target group is “banned”. This is a narrative that exists in peoples minds only. What the users of this app really want, is somewhere they can write their complaints, ie vent their angst, without being cross examined.

Totally agree. I don’t understand why the author couldn’t just say that Drupal is for a different use case. Rather than label a whole framework, the people who build it, work with it, and use it, as basically “incorrect”.

That’s what contactless cards do now, there’s a PAYG cap. When you read about it doesn’t really sound that complex (not sure if it needed a clever bloke with an algorithm, but then what do I know?) I guess because they couldn’t work out a w

The rules were somewhat ambiguous, which allowed him to break them (on the "childcare exception"). But his account of his actions is so untruthful. It is obvious to most that being on a remote farm would be a nicer environment to

Even if it wasn't a problem (which it was, at the time he did it). It's his covering up of his actions + colleagues backing him up, which is the real issue here. He's so blatantly lying about the "eye sight test",

Ocado also have the “eco delivery” feature, where you can pick a delivery slot when (I presume) the driver will be making a similar delivery nearby. It’s not a huge thing, but shows they are doing something (either that or they understand t

Amazon pretty much sets the standard for this. They're the biggest ecommerce home delivery company, and yet have absolutely nothing in the way of reducing waste, and give the customer no option or control to do so. The _only_ thing t

Yeah looking at her Google timeline maps that she posted, when she went to the "south bank" she actually walked around Waterloo station. A walk along the actual south bank (of the river) I would say should be a must for any touris

She got a train from Manchester to London. I'm surprised that the price of this ticket wasn't mentioned (when the £4.90 one in London was). Manchester to London can typically cost anywhere between £40 to £90.

Isn't the article's main concern the conflict of interest when polling companies release both public and private polls? They have an incentive to release inaccurate results to the public in order to benefit their private clients e

No mention here about Gutenberg's lack of support for accessibility standards. They pretty much went full steam ahead and left the accessibility team behind. See: https://rianrietveld.com/2018/10/09/i-ha

Life expectancy went up during communist rule. See https://www.google.co.uk/publicdata/explore?ds=d5bncppjof8f9... There are plenty of capitalist states and policies that have resulted in huge amounts of loss of life.

I'd say this is more of a strategy than a plan. It's all pretty vague. It was the tories who called the referendum, and the tories who are currently dealing with Brexit. It's not Labour's job to come up with a plan (wh

They're splitting the charing cross branch to run to Battersea Power station, while the bank branch will run to Morden. Kind of how it currently works (Charing Cross trains almost always start at Kennington), so can't see it decr

Nationalism, xenophobia, and even fascism seems to be on the rise in Sweden - as it is in the rest of Europe. (I'm basing this solely on media coverage and personal observation.) Posts like this show a poor attempt, with entirely subje

This article is the biggest load of guff I have read this year. Absolutely no proof or argument is given that the minimum wage hurts the lower income population. Simply that well trained "economists" know it so. Elitists right-wring garb
