Wikipedia has arbitrary rules for a lot of people, some youtubers have pages but others with bigger reach don't. Some blogs are considered proper critics but youtube critics aren't.

EU builds a good reputation after setting a good standard with GDPR, some politicians started talking about copying it which made me happy. Now I'm scared again wondering what would happen if they go through with this and politicians everywhere start copying it.

People received text messages claiming their bank accounts will be frozen if they don't connect them with Aadhaar, anecdotally this has also increased distrust in banks.

Ready Player One seems to be the weakest thing on the list, read it recently and I was very disappointed.

OnePlus wasn't an individual company working from scratch, they have immense support from Oppo for R&D.

In the comments below the post he said they came from the Play Store.

Yeah I'm sure they'll mention this in the upcoming WAN show, they've been pretty upfront about income, the titles and thumbnails, etc

Yep low bitrate x265 movies, I saw some recent animated movies for about 250mb in 720p. Most live action TV show episodes are that size too.

Didn't the iphone 4 antenna issue happen under Jobs? With him claiming you're holding the phone wrong or something like that.

I would like to point out that there are times when critics pay more attention to the hype surrounding the movie when it fits their agenda, "XX" the horror anthology film directed by women directors for example was hated by the audience because it's bad. Check out the "I Hate Everything" review for the film.

Is this not applicable to non-Americans then? Cause they exist too.

Thanks, that puts me at ease. I haven't read Pynchon but I watched Inherent Vice and had a similar experience with stuff happening without context or anyone understanding what's going on.

I've only read Roger Federer as Religious Experience and that was pretty fun even though I don't watch tennis or care enough to know the rules, it was pretty fun to read the actual thing with extended footnotes open in a different tab.

I like to read but I don't challenge myself all that much so I'm afraid I'll be in over my head, would you recommend checking something out to sort of "prepare" myself?

Like watching Tarkovsky straight from Michael Bay is not something I'd recommend, I'd tell them to watch some Nolan for contemporary, then Kubrick and stuff before going for Solaris. Is there an equivalent?

So, it was announced during the eclipse (dark and bright). It's called Oreo which is the same but they still didn't bother with a dark mode?

Really OT but since you brought it up, I legit just started reading the book yesterday and this is my first DFW book. Looks kinda daunting, any advice?
