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 almost enough

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 edited my original point h

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 world into a

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 250k high school footba

Unfortunately, as a practicing Muslim, I can report that doesn't help much. On the plus side, my infection doesn't flare up too often -- And when it does, I have some mitigations I usually take to get it to taper off.

I could probably get decolonized by simultaneously hospitalizing myself, my family, and bleaching everything we own while we get pumped with heavy anti-biotic cocktails -- But that just isn't worth it to me.

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 t

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 reform would redu

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 issues aside, it run

It goes further back than this -- What do you think happened to the "joint stock companies" that funded English settlers going to the Americas? ;)

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 punished. There is no

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 hunting people down and hu

Unfortunately, this post is probably going to be taken down. Sad to see intelligence agencies having open season on manipulating children without any discussion allowed.

Is our humanity really so far gone? At this rate, researchers should come together and refuse to publish further research in this area. I would hope UN can come together and at a minimum make an arms treaty to limit/prevent/undo d

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 13.4+
