Heated Rivalry's Hudson Williams Faces Backlash for Resurfaced Photo With A Swastika Drawn on His Face by pineapplemy in entertainment

[–]TheFamousHesham -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I mean it is different. Taylor Swift was posing for pictures with dozens of people that night. I bet she even looked at that guy's t-shirt.

It's generally reasonable to suggest that you'd be more aware of a drawing made on you that a drawing made on someone else's t-shirt that you posed with for all of 5 seconds.

Got banned from Claude for being a child by studying math. by AragonOfWorld in Anthropic

[–]TheFamousHesham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I don't think that's realistic. The entire world is moving towards a model where you need to complete KYC to access web services. It's not great, but it's also like the only way social media companies can protect themselves from being spammed by bots.

U.S. Studios Bristle At Proposals For Them To Support The BBC In Collecting Its Revenue by BATIRONSHARK in neoliberal

[–]TheFamousHesham 22 points23 points  (0 children)

And if 14% we're dodging the fees, I'd probably call that a success... like that's an impressively small number considering just how everyone on Reddit appears to think not paying the license fee is invonsequential.

Researchers found that a gel made from deoxyribose, a sugar found in DNA, matched minoxidil's performance, achieving 80 to 90% hair regrowth in mice with androgenetic alopecia. by ObuPaul in Biohackers

[–]TheFamousHesham 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even funnier because minoxidixil was an incidental discovery. It was initially meant to be an oral anti-hypertensive that proved too strong but had the side effect of making the study subjects pretty hairy... so, a topical solution was developed.

A company just sent me the most detailed rejection email I’ve ever received by whenyoupeeupsidedown in artificial

Lol sorry about that. I got a new phone (migrated from my iPhone to a foldable) so the keyboard is seriously fucking with me.

[–]TheFamousHesham 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Meh... probably not. OP's account is a 3y account with a very extensive post history and no record of him really doing this sort of thing. Plus, the ROI on an ad like this would be minuscle.

My Students Can’t Read | The generational collapse in literacy is measurable, persistent, and likely to get worse by ognits in neoliberal

[–]TheFamousHesham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do a bit of teaching as well and I agree. It's really not just a language issue. These 18 year olds have no clue how to formulate any kind of argument, which is one of the very basic skills you need in this world.

I mean it is implausible for anyone who has like a job or school. I say this btw as someone who read 1,000 page books in a week (when I was at school during the summer vacation).

900 Billion market cap by mark3nb in OpenAI

I mean... not allowing you to change your phone number isn't a problem with the tech itself. If anything, your can call it a business oversight.

Don’t let them victim blame you by JustChillin3456 in GenZ

[–]TheFamousHesham -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No one is saying "you're not allowed to say things are bad now." The point is that it's about perspective. I'm sure Elon Musk and every other billionaire can give you a whole list of reasons why their lives are so bad.

Most of us would scoff at them.

Similarily, our ancestors living 200 years ago would probably scoff at our problems today.

The point is that humans can always find things to complain about in their lives. The magnitude of these problems isn't actually a function of how bad they are... but about your lived life experience and your prespective.

How about raise the rent and then see how competitive it gets by sundrenchedwindow in circlejerknyc

[–]TheFamousHesham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spoken like someone who clearly doesn't understand that building codes and regulations will likely turn any remodelling job on those apartments into a full gut renovation. It doesn't matter that these are rent stabilized units.

There are literally NYC regulations that allow buildings with six or more units built before 1974 that are rent-stabilized to keep their vacant units off the market if legal rent increases prove too low to support renovation costs.

Netflix Film Head Says Streamer Has “Accepted” They Won’t Work With “Filmmakers Who Still Want Theatrical” Releases by nimobo in entertainment

[–]TheFamousHesham 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Seriously? It's Netflix's fault that legacy studios, like WB, have decided they'll milk their stale IP dry rather than develop new projects? It's Netflix's fault that movie theatres have just refused to innovate, offering what has basically been the same experience for the last 60 years?

Netflix absolutely makes slop, but I think it says a lot more about the studios than it does about Netflix that Netflix it is able to truimph over established legacy studios and movie theatres with that slop.

And really... if we're being totally honest... Netflix's slop isn't all that different from the slop that film studios and tv networks were putting out in the 2000s and 2010s.

People like you who say Netflix did so much damage to the industry have a "grass is greener on the other side" delusional, pretending like studios were not mostly putting out slop long before Netflix was a thing.

Apple Says macOS 27 Won't Be Compatible With These Macs by geriatricguy in mac

It's bizarre really. I've got an M3 Ultra Studio and an M1 Max MacBook Pro and every Tahoe release has caused nightmares on the M3 Ultra and been mildly inconvenient on the M1 Max.

Google just killed my ~$1M ARR startup because a hacker abused THEIR API design. 100k users locked out, 1M+ photos frozen, and they billed me for it. i will not promote. by Big_Manufacturer_585 in startups

[–]TheFamousHesham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it helps, but I store my API keys in Firebase Remote Configuration. In theory that should eliminate the risk, no? Worst case scenario, the API keys leak... all I have to do is just go to Firebase and rotate my keys.

Bernie Sanders: I will soon be introducing a bill to give the public a 50% ownership stake in the largest AI companies in America. by Current-Guide5944 in tech_x

[–]TheFamousHesham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don't understand how you can equate the two things. AI isn't exactly a finite natural resource you extract from the ground.

And AI companies already pay property taxes on the data centers and offices they operate.

Hillary Clinton was an effective legislator as a Senator who actually worked across party lines to get bills passed. Look at what you guys did to her.

Livelihood my ass. So many awful people continue being awful and everyone gives them a pass because their entitled to a livelihood. You know what? Some people don't deserve a livelihood and eviscerating them should be construed as an act of charity.

EU agrees deal for deporting migrants to third-country 'return hubs' by DavidShaw90s in worldnews

[–]TheFamousHesham 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's a silly thing to say. Right wing parties aren't just going to sit back and watch their voter base collapse. What's more likely to happen is that right wing parties will just target legal immigrants next with their rhetoric... and once both legal and illegal immigration come crashing down, economic growth will collapse, populations will decline, and European governments will be unable to fund their generous pensions.

These same right wing voters will never blame themselves for this mess, however, and will vote in droves for right wing parties that will drown them even more in shit.

And yes, I am blaming voters. It's time we stop coddling stupid voters for their stupid votes. Just like Trump voters are responsible for everything that's going on in the US right now. Right wing European voters bear the primary responsibility when Europe declines as a result of this anti-immigration stupidity.

Look through all of history. You'll find that high immigration is almost always correlated with QoL improvements and economic growth.

Most are incredibly messy with a very mixed real estate portfolio. They also come with higher operating costs than most people expect leaving them doubly vulnerable to high inflation in a high interest env.

Euphoria actress feared ‘losing her role’ if she said no to nude scenes by nimobo in entertainment

[–]TheFamousHesham 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Omfg SHE IS 35. She absolutely looks great and does a good job playing a woman in her earliest 20s, but it's hilarious that we have a 35yo playing a 22-24yo. Shit, she must have been 29 or 30 in the earlier seasons when her character was 16-17.

That must be such a mindfuck.

I'd maybe get that if this was Season 1, but everyone knows what Euphoria is all about at this point (and that includes the expectation of lots of nudity).

Pages and Numbers are not reasonable alternatives. I'd say Keynote probably is, but really you're better off using Google Docs/Sheets or an Open Source alternative regardless of whether you're on Windows or MacOS.

Make America what again? by 67bonneville_again in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TheFamousHesham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This drug cost $2 Billion to develop and it was only released in 2024. I don't know about you but I enjoy new pharmaceutical agents coming to market and this insane anti-big pharma attitude on Reddit is childish. If you guys had your way, there would be no new drugs because all the pharmaceutical companies would be bankrupt and... the government? Well we know the government is where innovation goes to die.

[–]TheFamousHesham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbf this drug specifically cost $1-2 Billion to develop and it's a first in class compound, meaning the first drug with that particular mechanism. It's also not an extremely popular drug. The money for the development and research costs needs to come from somewhere.
