early computers was built by Herman Hollerith, who

evil. Following this golden rule, all is well and
good until we face a situation where evil acts may
(seem to) lead to good. It is not hard to think of
such s...

form of cheap labor. But in 1885 the Canadian
government imposed a head tax to decrease the
Chinese immigration to Canada, since the
