And here, we went from being able to get ABC from literally anywhere in the house without the antenna extended to having to get the position right when in a good location; we also lost plenty of other channels.

People will still remember when they were able to get more OTA channels, because analog signals degrade when weak instead of being non-decodeable.

Correction, Mastodon has used ActivityPub instead of OStatus since version 1.6, only using OStatus to communicate with software such as GNU Social that doesn't support ActivityPub.

It's how Whitney's always done it:

Now for smashing magazine to change their font colors to #000, for legibility's sake.

I'm having none of these problems, it's more legible than all of the "modernized" websites I've seen. Reasonable serif font, pure black text, pure white background. More legible than any posts on here, with the choice of gray text for certain things.

Why does it need to look "modern?" If it's not broken, why try fixing it?

Also known as a schoolbus.

I prefer

    curl -s "https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/ticker/?convert=$1" |
	jq ".[0] .price_$1" | sed 's/\"//g'

for silent curl and no quotes in output. Unfortunately, this does add a third dependency to the script.

And the Roadster doesn't have real side skirts to seal up the tunnel, which significantly degrades any diffuser downforce.

It's text-only when you use http://thin.npr.org

externalities are inherently costs/benefits, the only thing that's different is who is affected.

Amp doesn't bring anything new to the table in terms of best practices, what is new is agglomerating even more online content under Google's control via caching. Lightweight page design never became impossible, it's simply that most websites couldn't care less about investing work into improvements.

Unless it's a dictionary attack.

It's definitely empirically true, and you've got a vague anecdote to prove it.

Multiple people in one place can still be completely wrong. Concussive events are what matter when it comes to CTE; many of them occur without physical contact to the head just as impacts to the skull may not have concussive effects on the brain. What matters is sudden acceleration, not contact to the head.

That has nothing to do with aspects considered in the context of linguistics, however.

That's exactly what they're doing: http://www.businessinsider.com/verizon-netflix-youtube-throt...

And urban streets used to be for pedestrians first, until the automotive industry lobbied to create the crime of "jaywalking."

Funny how that changes all of a sudden, with the whole history of printing being an effort to get as close as possible to perfectly black ink on perfectly white paper.

If you're implying what I think you are, that's still not justification for torturing the aforementioned person.

Even a week is too long, the effects on the brain can be measured by EEG within a few days, specifically a state of stupor and delirium. The psychological effects are dangerous and permanent.

Slavery was specifically written into the 13th amendment: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

A note: Herman Wallace was released on October 1, 2013 because of advanced liver cancer. The state reindicted him on October 3, but he died the next day a free man. Albert Woodfox was released in February 2016. The Angola 3 were held in solitary confinement for more than 100 years combined, with Woodfox's 43 years of solitary being the longest of any American prisoner.

And that's exactly why there is power in a union, to quote Joe Hill; it has the potential to turn the situation around.

And for a third example, Busybox's implementation:

"Cultural Marxism" is nothing more than a fringe-right conspiracy theory that develops into antisemitism at its worst. [1]

Medium is hardly a paragon of lightweight page design, though.

And Facebook is a platform oriented towards interacting with `meatspace' friends, while Mastodon is for microblogging. I feel that `event creation' would be a significant and unfortunate scope creep considering other platforms are better-equipped to handle it.

Twitter does not have this feature, the only platform I know of that has this is Facebook.
