This is just the top of the iceberg. Don't get me started on airlines websites (looking at you Air Canada), where the product owner, designers, developers are not able to get a simple workflow straight without loading Mb of useless javascript and interrupt the user journey multiple times. Give me back the command line terminal like Amadeus, that would be perfect.

How can we go back to a Web where websites are designed to be used by the user and not for the shareholders?

I agree, it s one of the cheapest, they deliver and have custom solutions on request. The cheapest is monzoon which offer dsl and ftth without contract (month-by-month basis)
Thanks for writting this. This is how I feel for two years and having a random stranger on Internet being able to describe it and says `The world can be a great place with the right view` is reconforting.
Ho you mean Amazon AWS?

When you fill in an.airplane, you need to ground it with a special cable that comes with the pump.

Try saying/doing that in the airplane industry. Pilots are trained to use the checklist in all operations.

In Switzerland we have MobileID which is basically the same thing as Norway's Bank If : using a sim card as a smart card.

Re:Ask HN: How did people bake before thermometers? on Sunday October 11, 2015 @03:06AM (#10368375)
I heard that the acadians people where praying in front of the over. If they can stay there until the end of the pray, the oven is ready to bake the bread. Otherwise, they had to wait a few more minutes. I think it was this way because they didn't learn how to count.
