I remember as a child an elderly relative of mine talked about how there were no restaurants in his day, and I just assumed that restaurants hadn't reached his part of the world until recently. It turns out some of the world's old

Every time I read a neuroscience paper I remember that one study where they had neuroscientists try and fail to reverse engineer some classic arcade games with their methods.

Other commenters have given plenty of reasons. I never understand the obsession Europeans have with getting other parts of the world to be identical to them. Worst part is when we do adopt your practices you start whining about how we copie

Why would you expect a country under international sanction to make their data easily available to some random Westerners? Maybe with researchers but I really don't see how it would benefit Iran to spend resources on a website accessib

Except it doesn't, and the evidence of "coverup" they have is laughably bad. Of course you're too busy trying to think of the best way to sound snarky to actually think about the topic at hand.

It's amazing the nochalance this forum has as they witness our own GFW being built around us. In all likelihood TikTok will get neutered, American teenagers will figure how to use VPNs to access Douyin just like their Chinese peers alr

A lot of the third world leapfrogged to mobile payments and never had widespread credit card adoption. So it's more like 4% of the world hasn't done a thing the 10% of the world that HN perceives as "rest of the world" h

In certain parts of the world supermarkets are built to be two stories or more so that the ground floor may be rented out to small vendors. I don't see anybody object to that.

Or maybe in 2020 the actual SoC is a piece of commodity hardware and claiming that the SoC + support components is the totality of hardware design is how you get constantly overheating iPhones that bend when you put them in your back pocket
