If the department for the municipality does not use all or nearly of their yearly budget, their budget for the following year is frequently reduced.

Kerlix | 10 years ago | on: Ask HN: Is non-adjustable mobile font size a real problem?

I do most of my iPad web reading through an RSS reader like Mr. Reader because of a similar issue. Mr. Reader lets you choose between 5 built-in (including normal web view) page views as well as allowing unlimited user created/added bookmarklets, javascripts & URL Schemes. An iOS add-on that would flip any Safari page to a customizable Reader/Readability/Clearly view would be nice, though.

That was my first reaction, too.

Kerlix | 11 years ago | on: The Ebola Patient Was Sent Home Because of Bad Software

Yeah, that's what I suspected: just another arrogant piece of shit doctor who thinks s/he's too important to be bothered learning anything about his/her patients. This patient neglect by way of physician arrogance is endemic and far more dangerous to the health of all the individuals in this country than most of the ailments for which patients initially seek treatment.

Kerlix | 11 years ago | on: Apple Has Removed Launcher from the App Store

The most glaring thing that stands out to me in this situation is how mismanaged the review process is that one person allows the app into the store, no problem, and another yanks it after it's been featured on tech blogs and made a solid number of sales. Their review process is disorganized and determined by the arbitrary whims of random, individual reviewers.

I'm glad I managed to snag Launcher on Friday evening before it was yanked, but by the time I had it set up and decided I wanted the pro version it was gone.
