   iPads are masquerading as a Mac to avoid getting a gimped mobile website. Request a mobile website in Safari (aA button in address bar) and it works.

   Leaving "borderline stuff" up is just a negative description of not abridging freedom of speech. Every social network before Facebook failed sooner or later to a successor social network. Of course FB tries to prevent that fate. O

   I think the underlying cause is that the business model changed. In the past, up to 2010, the gaming media were mostly physical paper magazines and were bought by gamers with hard cash. If they didn’t cater to gamers they would simply lose

   > the marketplace does NOT provide me (consumer) any value at all. But it provides Netflix value in that they have more customers. If you (physically) shop in a store you don't even think about the retail margin.

   You got a lot of flak, but I was similarly confused and mildly annoyed. It does make a difference, especially at that time, if a woman lives as a man or vice versa. I could only deduce that at that time there were very few female lawyers. (

   Hm. The cessation of electrical activity is just that which is measured on scalp EEG; ie, we can only really be certain that the most superficial layers of cortex aren't firing and what we are measuring.

    Quite a bit "dark-washed". Aurelius was likely from the Balkans/Dacia, maybe even descended from Roman settlers, Carus was probably from southern Gaul. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carus Vespasian and D

    Interesting thought. Is it racism if you feel minority but are counted among the majority? If I would immigrate to the US I would count as white, even though I would be a clueless foreign stranger and would have difficulty connecting cultur

    Apple likely won’t optimize their own chips for your use case at first (I expect the iMac Pro or Mac Pro will stay Intel for at least two years), but for cost, low heat and high battery. Imagine a slim MacBook with no fan.

    African-Americans have way higher living standards and income than Africans though. I know very few who would have rather be born in Kongo or Zimbabwe.

    I think it is riskier. Microsoft in 1997 had virtually no competitors. That is not the case anymore.
