I think there's a lot of factors in play, and probably more than I am aware of. The first one I can immediately think of is that ads are quite often not served worldwide. I only started receiving ads very recently, first only a couple

Your version of Safari most likely lacks support for ES6 features like arrow functions[0], you could use babel[1] to transpile the code to ES5: (function (f) { return f(f); })(function (func) { return function (n) { retu

The site owner profits from showing ads. There's little business reason for them to show ad-less pages to users. What does good faith have to do with it? They're not assuming you'll hack them or steal their content, it's

Can you give some links where feminists support men? Feminists are concerned with women, the MRM is concerned with men, so the majority of their arguments will be focused on their respective gender. The negation of "attacking women&quo

It is not cheaper. The poverty tax is in knowledge, and it is paid twice - easily accessible food is expensive for its quality. With enough money to buy time or expertise to manage your diet, you can pay less money for higher quality food.

I believe the problem there is that you can't define what "clear evidence" is, until the trial, when it's already been collected. This gives policemen some really bad incentives to follow through on. Currently, the penal

I'd consider large parts of the Angular 1 framework to be anti-patterns. I believe that's the reason why they completely remade the framework with Angular 2, to avoid all these pitfalls. Given that, I find it the complaint that Re
