The game library was the big issue for me, most playtime was quite smooth for me. But to a large extent it's publishers' faults, Geforce Now has the same problem with games they had before getting removed because publishers/d

What I don't get is that, if this trade (140% short) was really so obviously wrong. Could a wealthy hedge fund not simply have made the same bet as the million strong WSB army, but even more pronounced? Why isn't a Carl Icahn shor

I really don't know what the point of this article is, it hasn't answer the question it poses. It simply starts with a straw man argument that Japan is only thought of as homogenous because of the 2% foreign-born statistic. Firstl

I've shared some of your thoughts in the past and still today. Indeed, there can be situations where generating a source of income (e.g. for sustenance) in the short-medium term is more valuable than generating knowledge that pays off

Or more likely, that it's wrongly sourced and misleadingly put. 25% is a lot. The number of prostitutes ranged from 10k to 30k in various estimates, 30k being the upper range. There is no way a country with a population of then 28 mill

As an owner of a 2015 Macbook Pro, I'm pretty okay with that. Haven't upgraded anything the past 6 years. Honestly I'd like an SSD and RAM upgrade but it's not that big of a deal. It costs money, too, and there's a

Yeah absolutely, it used to be that the biggest brains all went to finance for a while in the 80s-90s. Since the 2010s the biggest brains have been going to tech to drive an advertising business based on some addictive social network stuff,

Haha, not sure if you're serious but of course charging doesn't work that way. Otherwise it'd make sense for every company to just implement as many unnecessary time-sinks as possible. Being higher-cost than competitors (or h

Well, Oil is 18% of Norwegian GDP, Nokia topped out at 4%. Of course I'm comparing a sector vs a company but, in a way, Nokia was a sector of itself, and the Oil industry in Norway is dominated by a few companies like Equinor. So, not

Social mobility in and of itself isn't desireable. But the possibility for it, is. Otherwise you'd (1) live in a static society where those in power, stay in power, and those who're not, never will, even if they wanted to. An

I think that's nonsense. Access to a lawmaker or representative in a village may work like that. When you represent a state of 20 million, access means making an appointment and going through security clearance. There is a voting mecha
