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…

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…

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-requisitel…

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 …

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…

Yep. Its inside me :)

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…

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 (…

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" p…

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 pla…

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 ad…

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 ga…

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 m…

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 bei…
