What's interesting to me is that no matter how much bad news comes out about Boeing--and it hasn't stopped at all since the second 737 Max crash--stocks haven't really dropped much. They're still higher than they were a

What? Art today is great and more and more great people are sharing their art with the world. The internet is full of amazing young artists. Major art museums are in sad state though. They stock the same bland overly abstract art made by so

They won’t mandate a specific browser, but they can regulate functionality. Piracy is already considered theft. Viewing webpages without ads is basically “stealing” web content. I would not be surprised in the slightest if some big advertis

A lot of country top levels aren't based on the local language's name, but the English one. For example, Zhongguo, the country sometimes known as China, uses .cn instead of .zg. And yeah, regarding tourism, most people traveling t

I think part of this depends on the school. The ones I attended would completely skip sections regarding the ~1,000,000 civilian deaths during the Philippine American War, the blunders in Korea and Vietnam (my classes basically said "t

Reading that statement horrified me and sent me back here to comment on it. There was literally nothing these people could've done to prove themselves. If authorization were granted to fully exterminate them, this person would've

This feels like the truest answer. I was very opinionated and had a bunch of random knowledge to back up my opinions when I was young. I had a lot of confidence that I actually knew a lot. Then at some point, some people started saying that

I’m not talking about their supposed $16b value. I’m wondering where the money they’re actually spending is going. They’ve lost nearly $150 million in a year. How? What does that money even go to? Even paying their devs incredibly generous

My question is where the hell is that money going? That money is all the cash flow in some entire minor industries. It’s the GDP of some minor lower/mid-economy nations’ cities. Their losses are equal to half the entire GDP of Palau.

If it becomes cheap enough, it’ll eventually be a thing CEOs do to give meat to their motivational speeches and brag about how accomplished they are, much like climbing Everest. I fear it being less of a “I’m going to try to understand the

In dry climates with such hot temperatures, staying hydrated and sweating will keep you cool (or rather, keep you cool enough to not die). What happens when temperatures like these are reached in high humidity zones where sweat just sticks?

It’s not just the inside that molds, but the outside. Going to an even more humid place like Hong Kong or Taiwan, you’ll see most buildings, bridges, signs, and virtually everything covered in a permanent cake of black mold. It’s bad around
