I guess that's one definition of static webpage. My understanding was that static webpages are static. Meaning it has no dynamic content and that everyone accessing the static page sees the same thing. If dynamic content is client side

I respect and admire the risks Musk is willing to take and am amazed that he is able to find financial backers for his projects. But I have to wonder whether the internet connection can be maintained during cloudy days and what the expected

You can specialize and play a bunch of things. Pretty much everyone does it. You can be a chess prodigy and still play checkers, monopoly, video games, etc. Using your logic, nobody specializes because they all do other things. As for Sande

Right. And I'm giving examples of prodigies who made it. My point is that "one size fits all" doesn't work. I'm sure for every Tiger Woods or Serena Williams, there are late bloomers or generalists who thrived. For

I know lebron played football. I'm sure he played some baseball and soccer too. Everyone you listed specialized in a particular sport. Specializing in a particular sport doesn't mean that's all you do. You can specialize in h

It depends on whether you think non-STEM endeavors like athletic performance or art enriches society. Does michael jordan dunking from the free throw line enrich society? Does mozart's music enrich society? Did Bolt or Phelps breaking

I suspect rising income inequality and increasing housing costs are the primary drivers of CC debt. You generally can't pay rent with a CC and if rent goes up but income doesn't, then I could see people using CC to make ends meet.

Sure. But then we won't have mozart or lebron james or turing or messi or most of the olympic athletes, etc. It's a question of breadth vs depth. Specialization vs generalization. I suppose most kids should be given a generalized

I suspect more and more funding will go to the Space Force and less and less will go to NASA. Looking at the budgets, it's clear that the military has far more pull in washington than NASA. Seems like whatever the military wants, it ge

Wasn't the "legislative" council filled with appointees and served as an advisory role to the british governor ruling over hong kong? Where is the democracy there. Also china played around with "local" elections, do

How juices ( orange, grape, etc ) became a "healthy" is just as ridiculous as cigarettes being "healthy" at one point. Misleading ads via industry and regulator collusion is why we have terrible diets and health issues a

So in addition to all your personal ( family/friends/etc ) information, it'll have your spending history as well? So the only thing it needs is your medical history, income/job and government information. Though I suppos

Previously free? Hong Kong was a colony of britain which ruled with an iron fist and disallowed voting or democracy in Hong Kong. Hong Kong was never free nor democratic until it became part of China. Lots of brits love to pretend they brou

I didn't say the US is the most censored country. I just said we have to deal with censorship here too. Once again, you harp on censorship. I'm against it too. But what does that have to do with what we are talking about? I don&#x

The "US" didn't lose. Nixon lost because he went up against the establishment powers who backed the NYTimes. So the "US" won. The supreme court isn't an "independent judiciary". They are part of the p

The high percentage of NYT on the internet and especially social media is due to the NYT spending the last few years bullying social media platforms into giving it special treatment. They aren't playing a "game". They are usi

Really? Censorship? And here in the US, people are trying to circumvent censorship too. So what? Doesn't mean we are going to side with china over the US. Also, there have been articles of china's demise for decades now. If you en

It's not just the UK. The US, China, Russia, EU, New Zealand, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Israel, etc. The first thing you see after a terrorism incident is a controlled government+media propaganda campaign. They all use the same mindless

You can't sanction major economies without hurting yourself. It's why sanctions are used on nations with weak economies. Systematically important economies like the US, EU, China, Japan, etc are "unsanctionable". Sanctio

Vox is the left's version of infowars or breitbart. Why vox is allowed here but their polar opposites are not is beyond me. Vox and "good journalism" are not words that belong together. Vox is like most "news" today

There have been efforts to identify and locate "war criminals" of one side. No effort has been made to identify, locate and charge war criminals of the other side ( which has far more war criminals if we are being honest ).
