Is it the freedom of banks to not offer checking accounts to minorities? Why can't a bank express itself in the form of denying service to some people? Must they be compelled to?

Yes. If these platforms and payment processors want to continue to enjoy the state-enforced privileges they receive, then they must, within reason, offer their services to all.
I hear you, but why can't humans go farther from the Earth than they did in the 1970s?

Because for better or worse that's not what technology has been designing for.

Many programs nowadays are designed for the tradeoffs of SSDs rather than spinning media.
It wouldn't be so bad if the correct zone for bringing up the hidden area obeyed Fitt's Law, but (A) the zone isn't directly at the top of the window, and (B) that wouldn't work with non-maximised windows anyway.

It's why hiding toolbars dynamically works well in macOS' fullscreen mode; flinging your mouse to the top of the screen always shows the menubar and toolbar without fail (unless the mouse is captured by the app, of course, like in a game).
Borobudur is a Buddhist temple though?
While Borobodur is many things, it is not Hindu. The friezes on the site are stories from the life of the Buddha (and his past lives) and the monument itself is capped by a large number of Buddhist stupas.
You’ve got it exactly backwards: todays “flat” UIs are actually many layers deep. If you look at the styleguide for Android or iOS they have like 6 different UI depths and thicknesses that can be at play at any time.

What’s refreshing about Be is that it only goes like three deep. Button and not button, and... desktop?

It’s because the Be UI is so shallow that it is charming. If you allow 6 different types of every UI thing like Google and Apple do, your UI designer has no chance of getting everything correct. There’s just too many combinations of widget states.

Only by limiting UI depth can you get that Nintendo-Esque complete feeling, like everything is there for a reason. And Be does.

I 100% agree with you. I've lived in the Bay Area 31 years, and I usually drum up this scenario:

Sitting alone, at a nice bar, anywhere in the Bay Area - I could sit there all day, and no one would say a word to me.

Any other city? Even New York? Boston? Austin? Atlanta? Denver? Paris? Berlin? Seattle? No problem. Someone will chat, I'll meet a group, whatever.

Also, I'm extremely social. It's "not me."

I find that /r/AskHistorians values length of answers and the formation of a narrative there within to be valued above pretty much any other concern. Citations are rare, and its even rarer that anyone checks out of they match up. Stuff isn't really vetted, although occasionally really outrageous stuff gets called out.

I would not classify it as reliable, even if accurate and knowledgeable people post there.
This is a minor nitpick but I feel that the usage of the arrow function in Javascript was overly verbose.

Instead of:

const add = (a, b) => {
return a + b;
}

It could be written as:

const add = (a, b) => a + b

Or functions can also easily be turned into curried functions by doing:

const add = a => b => a + b

Which can be really powerful when used properly.

I felt it was worth mentioning, but I understand that the goal of the article was not to provide a in-depth comparison.

> I've never had trouble viewing an article in incognito mode, or sometimes even hitting stopping a load before javascript runs, so I've been under the impression that it's mainly javascript trickery. My argument here was with that assumption, so perhaps it's moot.

Typically publishers will use a combination of cookies and javascript to attempt to enforce a soft limit of X articles per month for normal users. Publishers also use UA sniffing to give unrestricted access to Googlebot and other crawlers.

Circumventing the former by blocking cookies or javascript definitely should be legal, because the client should be control of their local computer. Spoofing requests to take advantage of the latter (which is what this specific extension is doing) isn't okay IMO.

> The elephant in the room is that Google could easily setup a system whereby Googlebot got secure access to the articles. I think they haven't done this because of an idea that the same pages should be served to users. So who is defrauding whom?

Something other users have suggested[1] in response to this article. Maybe that will happen in the future, but I think it's a whataboutism with regards to this specific incident.

Google explicitly supports paywalled content[2], so I don't think it's fair to say that publishers are defrauding Google.

Has nothing to do with wealth and everything with zoning laws. If there's mixed use, enough density to justify good public transport then cities without cars thrive (just like they did before cars were invented).

Your "observation" outs you as someone that spent most of his life in the US where most cities were designed around cars. US cities are awful, by the way.

Imagine this: a bunch of folks come to a completely unexploited continent, rape and pillage until they ran out of land and then proceeded to create one of the most unhealthy societies ever.

It's easy to be economically successful when there's tons of resources and nobody to share them with, the true measure of a society it's how most of their people live: without public healthcare, no welfare protections, lonely, stressed out, sicker than their european counterparts.

Taking photos of things you are interested in is, for me, fine. It's easy to take photos and we can all snap those flowers, beers, sights etc. that we like.

Taking photos of yourself, on the other hand, just seems to me to be grossly narcissistic. Like, why have thousands of photos of yourself in your phone? Super weird IMO
Eh I'm not saying it's perfect but I think a few pieces are missing from your version:

- The government subsidized price to make it a low enough cost because it's certainly can't be as expensive as a golden corral

- The incentive for a private restaurateur to want to open one of these

This is where the government can actually help make something, which could be funded by a reasonably modest tax if people were willing to pay it.

> changing local government (which is corrupt and inefficient)

All the more reason to work to change it IMO. I bet part of the reason it gets corrupt so easily is because few actually care given how little it really does for them (when the essentials like trash are on autopilot and many other issues don't affect the average resident that directly). While not without its risks and complications, a more involved local government can also mean a more politically aware and involved base of citizens. If a city actually did all these things, local policy changes would actually have a bigger effect that residents would care about.

This is all a very rough draft, I'm sure there are plenty more holes in this. But I think it would be interesting to spend some more time ironing it out.

Right. But that's just distributed info, it's more or less a solved problem for many things (P2P, git, etc.). The proof of work is the "value add" of the enterprise, as it were, and there are certainly valuable use cases. But the implementation of distributed, cryptographically secure ledgers are not without tradeoffs--there is no free lunch.

> Netbooks were a fad

I've got a Samsung NC10[1] running Haiku beautifully. It's a 32-bit machine with just 2Gb of RAM and it's never run so smartly. I'm very impressed by Haiku's stability and consistency. The extended attributes on files are an eye-opener. Your mail client is a settings window, a compose window and a file manager. Just add the attributes you need for email to the list view.

I live in the USA. We get labels in English, French and Spanish so that products can be sold in Canada and Mexico. The English labeling is almost always visibly shorter than the French and Spanish. So I hypothesize that English would compress less.

My conjecture is that artificial languages will be more compressible because they haven't had time to get honed down, like English losing "thee" and "thou", that personal mode of address. Esperanto and Loglan are completely regular, which natural languages are not, and thus has a lot of use-cases where the regularity doesn't matter - they haven't had time to lose the mostly-unused features.

For better or for worse, compression of text only uses the surface form to compress, because that's the level that compression works on - letters or bytes or some other unit. You can't compress meaning. Meaning doesn't exist per se: colorless dreams sleep furiously, after all. That is, you can use perfectly sensible words and letters and even legitimate syntax, and still create strings devoid of meaning. A document consisting of perfectly spelled words, and legitimate syntax, yet without meaning like the colorless dreams sentence, will compress identically to ordinary text with the same orthographic and syntactical validity.
I wonder if having a separate stick of RAM exclusively dedicated to kernelspace would provide any mitigation against privelige escalation via rowhammer. Are we considering a future where every "ring" is literally a separate set of CPU, RAM, etc in order to stymie side channels, or is that just too crazy?
Thanks, so it's the overlapping issue I'm left struggling with (sorry, I elaborated on this in an edit after you'd already started replying, by the looks of it). It's not obvious to me they don't overlap, if the 'light' is at a different point for each one.
I agree completely.The problem is obvious to anyone who cares to pay attention, but I am not sure if the interface between biology and technical implementation is being studied or at least popularized enough to create a market share for hardware that actually does what consumers think much of current hardware does (which is to have an imperceptible/unobtrusive implementation).

I find it really annoying that the author would write code in C#, C++, and JavaScript differently even when the languages share the same syntax for that area. For instance, even when the languages shared the same syntax for do-while, in some versions he would write the while condition on a separate line and others not.

I'm also not sure what Python is doing in there. It's not a very C-like language. And if he wanted to show the diversity of different ways of doing things, he seemed to have gone out of his way to only showcase a family of languages that are unusually similar to each other (apart from Python).

Additionally, the comparisons fail to actually show where the languages are different or the same. He claims that C# only has 3 types of loops: do, do while, and for. Then he compares that to Python which he claims only has two: for and while. The problem is that Python's for loop is actually C#s foreach loop. This would actually be a very good way to illustrate that Python loops are conceptually different from those in other languages and how generators are built into Python. But he ignores that, while also ignoring other Python constructions which are pretty unique to Python as a language. As far as I know, C# doesn't have anything equivalent to Python's while-else or for-else loops. I might go so far as to say that the information provided about loops in these languages is incorrect.

My last criticism is that if we're meant to compare these snippets of code, it would have been much more readable had they actually been placed side-by-side, rather than lay out everything vertically.
When you guys say "global" culture, what do you mean?
In the JavaScript world, debugging is almost a bad word. It’s almost impossible to maintain a sane debuggable trace though a “modern” JavaScript application. I find I have to ignore basically all of the standard frameworks and transpiration pipelines and just write old school PHP-like code in Node.

I say all of this because I feel that my community has lost control of the debugging pipeline and I applaud Be and Haiku for making that a priority.

I find the benefits of committing to an always-running, always-traceable-in-production execution thread is an EXTRAORDINARY productivity gain (vs console.logs and connecting to IDEs manually via various witchcraft)
Yeah, nowadays it’s incredibly common to see someone post something with a caption like “My friends are cooler than yours.”. I’m not sure what part of that is funny, friendly, or mildly appropriate for a social website. It is off-putting and makes me dislike the person who says it.

This was how we knew what Apple was doing, how to keep computers running, etc.

There are some things I really miss about the classic Mac era. Computers were cool. The entire experience of using a computer was very consistent. Poking around in MacsBug or ResEdit was interesting. Install an app by dragging it to your hard drive, uninstall it by dragging it to the trash. Word 5.1a, a.k.a. the best version of Microsoft Word ever made. Still waiting for Google Docs to catch up in terms of feature parity, it’s not even close.

Plenty of things I don’t miss. No memory protection. Cooperative multitasking. Open Transport. As much as Unix is a bit of a mess, it doesn’t have any of these problems.

The only reason I still go back is for the games. A few of the old games can be played on new computers—if it ever got a PC port, there’s a chance you can run it in DOSBox, but the Mac exclusives got left behind, and a bunch of them were just cute little shareware pieces that never had a bunch of money behind them.

This is hyperbole. While Im sure there are businesses where it's true (there are millions of them in Indonesia), it's not common at all, at least in my experience in Java/Sumatera. There are glass ceilings based on ethnicity in some companies, but it's rarely related to religion and more based on cultural cliques.

Been doing this with SheepShaver for years. Audio works perfectly. Runs Mac OS 7, 8, or 9. Is able to share your Mac’s internet connection. It can run in full screen mode on your Mac, without a black border or anything. It’s fantastic. Best of all, you can create a shared folder with the host computer, so files you download through your modern browser from places like Macintosh Garden can be accessed immediate in the virtualized vintage OS. Works great the other way around too. SheepShaver + MacOS9 comes in really handy when I’m feeling nostalgic for SimCity 2000.
