Does it account for performance artists sitting down in front of the bus to protest about something or other, though?

I see. So I still can't quite jump right in and start making a basic app. No worries!

Total n00b here.I took a look at Creator and it looks straight-forward with its drag and drop approach, but do I need to know more (e.g. a language or the Ionic framework) before I can do anything useful with it?

Very seasonal business and I'd be surprised if it was ever >50% occupancy under the current owners. Blackpool's season for many overnight accommodation businesses has gone from April-November to just school holidays and major e

> Blackpool is a classic example of a seaside resort that's been badly hit by cheap package holidays to the sun. Partly. Other resorts have managed to reinvent themselves, but the perception I have is that our local tourism trade to

Many of these small hotel and B&B owners run their businesses as a hobby or retirement plan, which often doesn't quite pan out as the passive income scheme they were anticipating. They don't cope with the responsibilities that

Doesn't sound so dissimilar to the EU's Internet tax that was planned years ago (not sure if its email tax plan was part of the same thing). I don't think it would be unreasonable to assume that this plan would get some suppo

Sky's apps are the same. As a Barclays and Sky customer, this is a ball-ache. Barclays I can kind of understand, because progress in British retail banking happens at a snails pace, but I was surprised at Sky crippling their apps in th

Yep - exactly that.

Is labelling not a good?

No, it shouldn't. As much as I also dislike the Continental love of the ban hammer, I'm not sure what it has to with this.

I wonder if a successful TTIP agreement would be the catalyst for this? It's inexplicable that the EU/ EEA would allow for non-metric goods to freely flow into the market.

I am optimistic enough to believe that this would be worth looking at, but I am pessimistic enough to believe that it would not get a moment's consideration in a risk-averse and/ or litigious society.

Sure. I like the sound of encouraging people who want to explore and jumpstart their own projects. I feel that there's an implicit push by bootcamps to acquire students who are certain about going on to developer roles, so to see a pro

This is already being worked on by car manufacturers, as part of the EU's eCall agenda, which will be a requirement for future vehicles. Remote control of vehicles is simply an extension of the telematics system used to introduce and i

I was actually more surprised that both Gov and BBC used the term 'hack' in a context that didn't involve 'cyber-crime', but I wasn't sure how to fit that into a headline.

I had asked booth groups and they each answered, “Dreamweaver.” “Oh. Nice.”, I thought, trying to hold back any laughter that I may have had. I'm sort of glad he didn't win (I know - aren't I a terrible person?), if that wa

I recognise that tech has its politics and is rooted in it to an extent (Cypherpunks etc). I'm not particularly against that or blind to it. What I dislike is the braiding of tech with identity politics issues by people who are unaccom

Nope. It's not a view with claims that I've seen expressed before. To me it is an original viewpoint.

I groaned at what sounded like another SJW article on 'teh evil patriarchy of technology'. I'm glad I read on for an interesting and original viewpoint. More Susan Sons' and fewer Adria Richards', please. The former
