For scale: The global box office revenue of every single nation's film industry combined is about 42 billion dollars as of 2019. Nvidia's growth in market cap of ~350 billion since end of 2022 to 2 trillion today is…
I apologize for editing my comment to remove that context in trying to create clarity about my point. I had actually meant to reply to a different (similar) thread. I will reply to your point while acknowledging I…
Campus activism has been tainted by Marxism. "Critical [race|gender|disability] Theory" is just standard Marxism applied in the social science context. Since Marxism pre-requisitely requires framing everything in the…
Agreed
If you want to complain about pro athletes making too much compare to STEM, consider that the average aspiring pro ends up making less than minimum wage over the duration of their career. Only a tiny handful of about…
Yep. Its inside me :)
I didn't pick up regular staph -- I picked up an already moderately resistant strain that became more resistant due to treatments stopped too-early due to both allergic reactions (my issue), illness/vomiting due to…
I have been colonized with "mostly" dormant MRSA for a couple years now. The idea of ever needing surgery terrifies me because I know I could die from a flareup in the "weakened" part of my body. I tried fighting it in…
Crime is high when people have nothing to lose and something to gain. It shouldn't be so politically controversial to say that both carrot and stick are needed to prevent+reduce crime.
Reform idea: Capital gains tax should be split into two categories: Medium term (1+ year) and very long term (7+ years). Very long term tax would be much lower than today's tax, while medium term would be higher. This…
Sorry to hear, wishing you well.
I have a 2013 Samsung Ativ Book 6, the younger brother of your machine! The display broke twice, the keyboard is 85% unresponsive, HDD got replaced with SSD, and jampacked a larger (Ativ Book 8) battery inside. Physical…
It goes further back than this -- What do you think happened to the "joint stock companies" that funded English settlers going to the Americas? ;)
Maybe its Minecraft?
There are custom firmwares out to bypass these types of things, unfortunately.
Buying legally in the US isn't that hard to make it worth it to buy illegally unless you are a broke teenager buying one to try and "look cool and tough" to your friends.
As other commenters have mentioned, US American's ease of access to firearms does not extend to their usage. If you buy a weapon and wrongly shoot someone, there is a system in place to make sure you are found and…
At the risk of sounding hyperbolic: Imagine Iranian agents using these address books to track down naval officers in San Diego from across the border in Tijuana. Having a global address book lowers the barrier for…
Seeing drone dropped grenades everywhere in Ukraine has made me worried about normalized "drone drop murders" spreading to the rest of the world. With widely available addresses gang violence, political killings, and…
As someone new who started with NextJS v13.4 on AWS, I am also disappointed that AWS/GCP/Others don't support all of Vercel's features. That being said, the commenters here are being unfair and unreasonable. NextJS…
Don't kill the goose that lays golden eggs
Trollbait posts don't belong here.
Where do you live? How bad is the gun violence? Is it safe for little kids? How far to nearest city of 100k+?
In my impossible fantasy dream world, China and America could avert the "2nd cold war" by having dangerously over-leveraged idled Chinese builders (Evergrande, Country Garden, etc.) partner with American construction…
Absolutely inappropriate to post something like this to Twitter before exhausting all other options (civilian airports, drone clubs, Space Force satellites) first. I feel like the Twitter account manager shared this out…
