- Oarch 1y agoWarning for others, this website opened a new tab, forwarded to Booking.com and hijacked my back button.

- antonvs 1y agoThat's wild. I vaguely thought sfgate was a reasonably reputable site.
- lurk2 1y agoA ton of news websites do this now, navigating to a “Before you go…” page when you hit the back button. I’ve always suspected this kind of behavior has a lot to do with why people don’t read articles anymore. You know what you’re getting when you open a comment section on Reddit, Hacker News, or Twitter. The majority of other websites are going to be borderline impossible to view on mobile.
- rudasn 1y agoChrome with JS disabled works good enough for me on mobile. It's also easy to whitelist specific sites. But mostly, if I get a blank page I just go back.
- lysace 1y agoI just use Brave and its builtin ad blocking on iOS. This is the killer app of these days. Very few sites really work with js disabled.
- Tagbert 1y agoI usually figure that it is ads published in an ad network and placed on the site pages. The site usually doesn’t know anything about the specific ads and only has very general options to limit the kinds of ads that appear. The most that they could do is to drop the ad network if they get a lot of complaints.

- aspenmayer 1y agoThat is extremely interesting. Booking.com is driving a lot of traffic, as I have outlined previously on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44481590 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44481590

- akshay_trikha 1y ago> The shoreline is publicly accessible, but parking at the Army’s recreation center requires military ID. There's something poetically sad about this.
- Telemakhos 1y agoI've have never before heard a parking situation described in poetic terms. I might go take a long walk on a beach to ponder that.
- adastra22 1y ago"They paved paradise and put up a parking lot."
- labster 1y agoWere used to it in Malibu. The publicly owned shoreline can be reached through the legally mandated passageways, if you can make it through the locked gates and avoid being seen by security.
- natebc 1y agoIt's the same in ... well at least some of the continental states. Georgia for sure has mandated public access (mostly) and the beaches cannot be privately owned, specifically up to the high watermark. We used to use this to swim over and surf on Sea Island ... much to the chagrin of their rent-a-cops!
- lostlogin 1y agoWe have a variation on this in New Zealand. Below the high tide line is public land. Good luck getting there.
- wildzzz 1y agoIt's basically a small Army base adjacent to most of the beach so that's why you can't park there. There's some public parking at the public access area at the south end. If you owned a house that was up against a private beach, I doubt you'd let people park in your driveway or cut through your yard to access it.
- mallomarmeasle 1y agoTrying to wrap my head around the term "cultural practitioner", even after looking it up. Don't we all transmit our culture?
- pryelluw 1y ago“One who demonstrates and interprets cultural practices to people from other cultures, often as a means of cultural preservation.” https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/cultural_practitioner https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/cultural_practitioner Imagine a “tour guide” focused on their own culture.

- sema4hacker 1y ago"Uncovered" should be "once again uncovered".
- rendall 1y agoWhy?
- prmoustache 1y agoIt is like when people talk about the discovery of america. America wasn't discovered with Columbus. A civilization met other existing ones.
- rendall 1y agoIt's your belief that they have been uncovered more than once?
- prmoustache 1y agoWhen there are already people living there, it is not a discovery at least not at a humanity level as it is generally implied when there is no additional precision.
- rendall 1y agoNo one said discovered here. You're litigating a past point. Uncovered was the term used, not discovered.

- BSOhealth 1y agoWhat a terrible website
- onecommentman 1y ago“Hawaiian petroglyphs dating back at least a half-millennium” Which means 500 years ago. You can buy entire books published that long ago, if you have a spare thousand or two USD. Pushing the antiquity of the finding by referring to “millennium” seems very American.
- anthk 1y agoIn Spain often for 300-500€ depending on the book.
