"implicit proponent" is an oxymoron.

You don’t have to see any ads online, by using an adblocker and not visiting websites that lack paid ad-free versions (Facebook, Instagram).

Thanks! Their numbers seem to be far off from the FDIC studies, despite them claiming they corroborate national averages.
Looking at the FDIC study from 2009, ~20% of Black/Hispanic households in California were unbanked, and when looking at citizens the number is ~7%.

AFAIK these stores employ security/loss-prevention (and stockers as well, just not cashiers). There’s people at the door in the videos I saw. How do they stop people from stealing?

The article doesn’t link to the study and I can’t find it. “As many as” could mean anywhere from 1 to 50%. Smells like deception, but I could be wrong.

Then the practical solution is to pass a law requiring them to have a machine to load a card with, not banning them outright.
This policy is needlessly destructive.

According to Brown, as many as 50 percent of black and Latino households in San Francisco go without a bank account
This stat is hard to believe. Does anybody have a link to the actual study? Most national studies (like the FDIC one) put this number around 5%. My wife works in the restaurant industry, and most all of the illegal immigrants have bank accounts, smart phones, use direct deposit, etc.

Another reason to use passwordless login. Just send an one-time login code via email.
That’s what my companies do and there’s no way we can leak passwords... there aren’t any!
I honestly don’t understand the point of using passwords when a website allows reset by email.

Instead of using another data silo, consider webmentions. Post a reply on your own blog with rel=“reply-to” and send a webmention notifying the author, who uses a plugin or webmention service to display replies.
It’s decentralized web comments. See indieweb.org for more information.

Agreed. I have yet to find a single use-case that can't be done without JavaScript, with the exception of chat. Like audio and video, chat could have easily been another HTML widget provided by the browser (imagine, standard declarative chat across the web!).
I built my last webapp entirely without JavaScript. Users constantly praise how fast it is. There's no bugs with the back button. It's accessible out-of-the-box. Form inputs work correctly out-of-the-box. It's clear when data is being loaded/submitted and when it's not (since that's already built into the browser). And on and on and on...
JavaScript is the worst thing to happen to UX, privacy, speed, caching, and accessibility. So much of the web's UX is broken because of JS. It's depressing because it was all unnecessary. We went from a standard declarative interface shared by all websites to an "anything goes" black box runtime.

vim-adventures.com is a great way to learn vim by playing a game.
It’s worth the money if you enjoy solving puzzles and learning by doing.
You may not need user tracking at all. You can track how many signups came from which domain by setting a cookie with the referrer and incrementing a count for that domain at signup. Here’s an interesting post about it https://doingdone.app/blog/building-a-startup-without-user-t...
