galphanet··on The 49MB web page
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?

galphanet··on Ask HN: How did people bake before thermometers?
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.
