"Sorry we don't have any seats for black people"

What would that even look like? 30s stereotypes?
There's no such thing as a "black seat" (apart from, you know, the paint). Plastic caketoppers aren't quite so generic.

The point was how you could have a passive aggressive attitude towards not allowing any black people to sit down at your restaurant.

Ah.

the similarities between extreme right-wingers of Christian faith and extreme right-wingers of Islam are so similar, yet if you tell that to a Christian, they usually flip their shit at you.

Would they be allowed to have signs that say "no Jews" or "no blacks" as well?

I'm all for freedom of association and stuff, but a "no gays!" sign on the door of a public facing storefront is just a bit much.
The whole issue could have been sidestepped by saying "we don't have any 'two guys' cake-toppers" and moving on.

If the HDD came with the computer, there's almost certainly a "recovery" partition hidden way, because every OEM is just too damn cheap to toss in a recovery disc anymore (and sometimes don't bother with an optical drive anyway).

200 GB is vastly absurd for that, though.

In what sense is streaming a bubble?

Getting paid millions of dollars to stream meaningless banter in the corner (or just audio) while playing a video game is the bubble.

How is it "meaningless banter" "while playing a video game"?

Pewd, Oney, and Gamegrumps are the obvious ones. AVGN at least knows how editing works.
The other part of the 'bubble' is camera-up-the-nose talking heads, and the sloppy guy in room full of toys variant, complaining about some damn thing, for twenty minutes.

Google was a bunch of suckers, and it was smart to milk the bubble as long as possible.
Insisting on an arbitrary measure of worth, decreed by some-odd authority, is just plain tyrannical.

That's $19,465,710 in funding. Pay the teachers $50k, and that makes $6,000,000. Where the hell is the other thirteen million going?
