k_sh··on Dreamwidth Banned by PayPal in 2008 for Refusing to Censor Users
Religion is a tricky one.... It is mutable, but most people (a) don't change their religion in their lifetime and (b) use religion as a proxy signal for social identity, including many things that aren't mutable.

In practice: I'd take the bet that a white person of Muslim faith could get around a "no Muslims" rule most of the time. "No Muslims", then, can be a proxy for "no middle-Eastern looking folks".

k_sh··on Vue.js and Brunch: Webpack Alternative
You are _completely_ missing the point of frontend applications, here's a few to get you started:

- Ease of creating complex user flows.

- Decentralization of application work: app runs on client, less CPU cycles for my server!

- Separation of concerns: API does one thing, client application does another, there is a bright red line between the two.
