These aren't deep movies. They are flashy spectacles to be seen on a huge screen.
This is almost as bad as someone wanting to see a crappy cam rip of it on the small screen, presumably because they love studying the nuanced differences between superhero movies and Citizen Kane or Casablanca, and aren't interested in the glitz and action.
No idea why people always want to press "their schedule" on other people who have a different "bio rhythm".
Some people can't get to bed (much less to sleep) before midnight or 1 AM. Thanks to technological advancements, it can take hours every day to process the new day's porn.
That's nice if you live in the south with an industrial ac and more insulation than a hippo, but if it's 90 at 9 AM here then my AC has struggled to keep it at 72 all night long.
Their wealth is in owned corporations and so on. Their income isn't enough to come halfway to balance the budget, assuming you taxed 100% of it and they continued to work for $0 a year.
Nations that outlawed evil corporations had dirt-floor poverty. By allowing them the past 20+ years, these evil greedy corporations are providing enough job money to leave that level of poverty.
Nobody there thanks people with your attitude. This "race to the bottom" is lifting up the average worker worldwide.
Yawn another commenter who doesn't understand the purpose of government is to get in the way of business so you can get rich getting back out of the way.
ISPs are promising you a data rate for a given fee from you, and they are demanding a cut of what you pay Netflix or Hulu on top of it, or they will deliberately break your connection to Netflix or Hulu so it sucks.
Concerns about a potential link between the MMR vaccine and autism have persisted for two decades, since a controversial and ultimately retracted 1998 paper claimed there was a direct connection.
Where were all these skilled Internet surfing parents "concerned about lying drug companies and their profits" when the originator of the autism link had deals with lawyers to find something they could sue over...beforehand?
Lawsuits and concerns about Russian trolling to sway elections are causing pressure to curate the postings. Won't this coincidentally end the safe harbor provisions for copyright violations, currently limited to DMCA takedowns in a timely manner?
For if they filter, they can filter for copyright, and thus can be sued immediately because now they are a publisher?
The math is well understood. Vaccines aren't 100% effective, so you need a certain large fraction of the population immunized so new outbreaks die off faster than they spread. And for the unvaccinated this still applies even if it was 100% effective.
This study shows there is no valid health concern. Rather than worry about profiteering drug companies charging a few tens of dollars, worry about profiteering talking heads disdaining vaccines charging tens of dollars for their book on TV and the Internet.
This is how it should be done -- supine, cowardly Congress changing the law rather than letting unelected regulators arrogate control of a trillion dollar industry based on phone control wording from the 70s.
You know, the same casting off of other powers to the president you bitch, rightly, about now.
The same people that led to this problem are working on the "move" issue. It's a competive race to the bottom, see, and they want a nationwide standard, with them writing it, so it is pointless to "vote with your feet" anymore.
The solution, in other words, to their terrible situation, is to make every place like that rather than them becoming more like other places, such as much lower and cheaper and faster building red tape.
Likewise, it’s in the people of San Francisco’s right to keep San Francisco from turning into a concrete jungle. God knows no one is moving there for the weather. San Francisco is “cool” BECAUSE the old architecture has been preserved, BECAUSE there a large immigrant, artist and gay communities. Tech, like all temporarily concentrated and wealthy industries is destroying(or attempting to) the very thing they love, with money. Like many neighborhoods in New York, someday it’ll be a jungle of dated high rise luxury apartments and a few houses and museums in remembrance of the vibrant low income communities that made that area famous enough to attract the attention of the wealthy.
If SFers choose to do this (ignoring issues of market freedom to build more units) they they should stop whining at the price increases. "Only a few specials a year may enter" is a brutally silly policy.
How would a company do if they set up face recognition in their store, had AI analyze everything you looked at and bought as you walked around, and shared all that info back into facebook or google or amazon's database on you?
Well, there was a little disclaimer in the lower right of their sliding door, I suppose.

Ideal patch: Just a handfull of file diffs and new files.
As implemented: Giant compressed .zip files to "save on data transmission" that requires the entire .zip to be downloaded.

You use electricity for lighting but the electric use for that is 1/3 what it was thanks to LED lights.

So Jimmy Carter lied to us or something I can't even rmemsr anymore

Higher pay includes the respect from an increasing presumption of competence.
Amazon just respects you more.

Go ahead and kill a good chunk of many Americans' retirement funds because some business isn't playing the game a politician wants.
What you really need is fast turn rate fps (and latency.) High fps running in a straight line is misleading for games. Turn stutter is bs fraud.

This is fraud.
Partly correct, but the UN is a shitty choice. And insofar a it is partially controlled by non-free countries, you are flat out wrong.
I have to wonder...
