Discrimination by making banking harder for a specific group of people (living in mountains). They could accept other 2FA methods, like passkeys and OTP apps, which are more secure than SMS.

Yes, that's what I do currently. But that css lib has way more useful styles, it's hard to copy everything (e.g. :hover, :visited, @media etc). They also release new versions, fixes from time to time. Would be great if CSS had a f

Besides mandatory censorship, I've heard in WW2 they just delayed all mail by 2 weeks intentionally. By that time all secret information is not relevant anyway.

Sounds like discrimination of a broad group of people. Granted, it's not a designated protected group, like by national origin, but I still think they have a good chance in court.

USSR economy was heavily dependent on their export oil prices. Once they fall, USSR fell with them almost immediately.

Any data to support it? I've heard cows emit methane, way more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2. And there are a lot of cows, especially in India. But I don't know the numbers.

Agree, after I thought for more examples. Thanks, don't know why others downvote. Besides consolidation point, I still think that "barrier to entry" point is still valid -- if it's more effort to even publish a library,

Too expensive. It's very hard to find even an aircraft carrier at the surface, ocean is just too big. Metallic non-moving things at the bottom is easier, but it still often takes years to find a large sank ship, yet alone a small round

That's nothing compared to Venus. There it's 500C with sulfuric atmosphere.

USSR focused on Venus, because at that time it wasn't apparent which one would be more interesting/accessible -- Venus or Mars. And USSR didn't want to compete with US anymore, after lost the Moon race. USSR really did want t

I don't have magician or telepathy skills, I don't immediately see the problems. Even on 1:1s I can be persuaded and believe lies. And well, for reporting I kinda agree, we don't do that many reporting as others. I would say

I was also thinking the same and advocated with pretty much the same words. Until became a manager, and noticed that yes, most of the employees are like that, but there are some that will screw you over. And just that minority is why we can

Moreover, in some countries it's actually honorable to be on a "wanted" list, like terrorist, extremist, tax evasion etc. Because that lists are often used as oppression against opponents. E.g. Russia routinely does that agai

Yes, but people had way more children. E.g my grand-grandparents had many kids, and counting only surviving ones is still 3x more than my grandparents. Combined with much earlier parenthood, humans were "diffusing" their genes way

Agree, that's a possibility. But I don't see how it follows necessarily. I provided an example of how it might have been otherwise. I would just change "There were _many more humans_ alive" to "It's also totall

Might have been. Or might have not. That's my question basically, why does parent comment claim there were many more humans?

by deepsun 1y ago
No, there were never several unofficial libraries, one of which eventually won the popularity contest. There was always only one official. There is some barrier to add your project there, so might be that helped. It's even more pronoun

Yes, thanks for elaborating. I seem to be not clear in my point: that public transit is subsidized and it's a good thing, we should not expect to see an immediate profit from it, and should not expect a commercial company willing to in

I don't see how it follows that there were many more humans. Math says that all people eventually become descendants of every single individual (kinda "diffusion"), or die off completely. Say, there were not "many more&q

It's neglected because public transport is usually subsidized in almost every country. It's just not directly profitable, like roads. US is in general very reluctant to invest into profitless projects.

But that comment is about atoms, while ALICE is talking about nuclei, which are way smaller than atoms. Not sure what would be the analogy there.

A lot of people get elected because they are "closer" to the voters, think the same, live the same, speak the same. Well, not everyone has own golf clubs of course.
