Not all html pages - what about hackernews? It's mostly tables with minimal CSS (a bit of padding and font*/color), I bet it continues to be perfectly rendered practically indefinitely. At least snapshots on archive.org from 2007 still look perfect.

bioinformatics, systems biology, computational biology

Of those bioinformatics is more specific (usually genomics data); the other two are overlapping and pretty non-specific terms.

For example I started a Sys Bio PhD and ended up in a Comp Bio research group. A friend started the same way but ended up in control theory/microbiology.

The title and even the department are somewhat arbitrary and more to do with the organisation at the university than anything else (e.g. I was in CS but my friend was Engineering I think).

If you can find a good interdisciplinary course they will be familiar with people moving around depending on their interests.

It's got 80-120 ish bits of entropy, why is it not secure?

(Assuming you're not referring to it literally being a well known password from a web comic.)

using an inflation calculator defers to someone's idea of what a basket was

In this case that someone is Greg Clark (Professor of Economics at UC Davis). The link goes direct to a .xlsx which reveals the "basket" and all the figures - it's a mixture of several (presumably average) wages and a "cost of living".

This is probably the research paper (2009) http://faculty.econ.ucdavis.edu/faculty/gclark/papers/Macroa...

As your example numbers here show though estates are often better for storage than crossovers. So there must be other factors behind crossover popularity.

Their being higher is a big factor I bet (less stooping and more road visibility, although the latter is less of a factor as they get more popular).

Right, but decades ago coal was the cheapest source of power. We didn't have cheap renewables in the 70s. Solar is cheaper than coal in China.* They could certainly grow (at least) no slower by building huge amounts of renewables rather than coal.

*(I'm not sure if this is on a "spot" basis or annualised to account for intermittency, but then it probably doesn't account for the negative externalities of coal either so let's chalk it up to a draw.)

"hey" as a greeting

I blame the US TV series "Friends" for that.

Curiously the OED doesn't (yet) have this greeting sense.
