Another way to think about this: huge potential for a competitor. It's not like Disney has a moat for creativity. Blair Witch project cost something like $100K

Well, ok. Bombing the shit out of everyone is a possibility but would lose major political points. No allies left after that move. I suppose the closest analogy is Syria but even there, there is so much proxy war going on that it's imp

He's a brilliant comedian, but he doesn't understand that people have successfully fought off the might of the US army in recent decades. That's why China colonizes economically.

I can tell you unequivocally no AMD is not faster. I have both AMD and Intel CPUs and the latest AMD is still slower than last generation Intel CPUs on standard workloads. That being said... I have SSD and like 800 billion GB of RAM so I ha

I have a family member who is a doctor, and he and his friends regularly get together to figure out how to bill the most money. I'd be fine with it if it wasn't healthcare. He doesn't even like being a doctor. Something is br

Not only that but the best argument shows almost (but not quite) marginal contribution.
