넷플릭스 실적 발표때마다 이전보다 높은 매출과 이익률을 보여주는데도 주가가 계속 떨어지는거 신기함 ㅋㅋㅋ
오래된 OTT업체에게 다른 IT대기업들의 영업이익을 기대하는 투자자들이라니.

This week I talked to two different friends who are still on Facebook, and independent of each other they both said it was because of how the Facebook groups gave them easy access to information about their hobby, e.g. knitting.

So I need to ask: Can Mastodon compete with that and how?

이제 뭐 정권 쥐고 있다고 저러나 싶음.

This vote buys time, not solutions. The fight is now squarely on DHS and Republicans are on their back foot. Democrats have less than two weeks to press their advantage — they must hold the line and refuse to fund DHS without ironclad limits on ICE and CBP, real accountability for abuses, and clear guardrails to stop raids and intimidation. Anything less would be a failure to meet this moment. npr.org/2026/02/03/g-s1-108506

여성의 날, 왜 3월 8일인가? 여성의 날이 본격적으로 3월 8일로 정해지기 시작한건 러시아 2월 혁명 시작일이 그레고리력 기준 1917년 3월 8일이었기 때문입니다. 당시 러시아 제국은 율리우스력을 사용하고 있었고, 율리우스력 기준으로는 2월 23일이었습니다. 인류 역사상 최초로 사회주의 국가 건설까지 성공한 혁명의 첫 시작이 바로 여성 노동자들의 투쟁이었습니다.

Lawmakers heard from Aliya Rahman, a Bangladeshi American software engineer with a traumatic brain injury, who says ICE agents shattered her car window, dragged her out during a traffic stop in Minneapolis, ignored her pleas for medical care, and detained her until she blacked out.

Why Males Exist by Fred Hapgood, 1979

An Inquiry Into the Evolution of Sex

A provocative examination of why the male gender exists at all shapes up as something of an antidote to the more macho sexual tracts that have been appearing in the wake of sociobiology. (E.g., Wallace, below.) The Atlantic Monthly science columnist goes so far as to say that "males have been devised by females to aid them in their competition with other females."





His thesis is based on an examination of life from simple bacteria to monogamous mammals. Bacteria are essentially asocial and asexual, resorting to a form of mating with some gene exchange under certain environmental conditions. Bisexuality occurs at a second, more advanced, level of organism complexity, where there is some gain from the greater variety that gene-mixing confers. Full-fledged male and female genders are common at a third stage of evolution when social competition and a sufficiently stable environment provide opportunities for optimal gene exchanges. At this point Hapgood sees male sexuality evolving to ""serve"" what is essentially the female ""manufacturing"" role. Males compete and females select. Only at a fourth stage do male and female roles evolve to the point where lengthy pair bonds and even monogamous matings occur, with the male investing much time and effort in providing and protecting the female and even sharing in parenting. On the surface the thesis has a more benign cast than the ""sex-for-the-selfish-gene's sake"" theories prevalent. But the theories are really akin. They share the common sociobiological belief in the grand logic of nature, holding that much of human behavior is reducible to a ""reproductive imperative,"" or the equivalent--all of which is obvious.

But Hapgood observes--solemnly and reductively--that female worker bees feed their sisters three times as much as their brothers since they are three times as closely related to them! (Never mind body size; metabolism; functional differences.) So beware the Jabberwock. . . but for readers who enjoy fascinating accounts of the doings of birds and bees, they are plentiful and well-presented here.

Introducing Stephen Hawking by J.P. McEvoy

Stephen Hawking is the world-famous physicist with a cameo in "The Simpsons on his CV", but outside his academic field his work is little understood. To the public he is a tragic figure - a brilliant scientist and author of the 9 million-copy-selling "A Brief History of Time", and yet confined to a wheelchair and almost completely paralysed.





Hawking's major contribution to science has been to integrate the two great theories of 20th-century physics - Einstein's General Theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. J.P. McEvoy and Oscar Zarate's brilliant graphic guide explores Hawking's life, the evolution of his work from his days as a student, and his breathtaking discoveries about where these fundamental laws break down or overlap, such as on the edge of a Black Hole or at the origin of the Universe itself.

The Oxford Handbook of Cultural Neuroscience, 2016

This Handbook examines disparities in public health by highlighting recent theoretical and methodological advances in cultural neuroscience. It traces the interactions of cultural, biological, and environmental factors that create adverse physical and mental health conditions among populations, and investigates how the policies of cultural and governmental institutions influence such outcomes.




In addition to providing an overview of the current research, chapters demonstrate how a cultural neuroscience approach to the study of the mind, brain, and behavior can help stabilize the quality of health of societies at large. The volume will appeal especially to graduate students and professional scholars working in psychology and population genetics. The Oxford Handbook of Cultural Neuroscience represents the first collection of scholarly contributions from the International Cultural Neuroscience Consortium (ICNC), an interdisciplinary group of scholars from epidemiology, anthropology, psychology, neuroscience, genetics, and psychiatry dedicated to advancing an understanding of culture and health using theory and methods from cultural neuroscience. The Handbook is intended to introduce future generations of scholars to foundations in cultural neuroscience, and to equip them to address the grand challenges in global mental health in the twenty-first century.

Ask a North Korean by Daniel Tudor, 2017

Understanding North Korean Through the Eyes of Defectors.

The weekly column Ask A North Korean, published by NK News, invites readers from around the world to pose questions to North Korean defectors. By way of these fascinating interviews, the North Koreans themselves provide authentic firsthand testimonies about what is happening inside the "Hermit Kingdom."



North Korean contributors to this book include: "Seong" who came to South Korea after dropping out during his final year of his university. He is now training to be an elementary school teacher. "Kang" who left North Korea in 2005. He now lives in London, England. "Cheol" who was from South Hamgyeong in North Korea and is now a second-year university student in Seoul. "Park" worked and studied in Pyongyang before defecting to the U.S. in 2011. He is now studying at a U.S. college. Ask A North Korean sheds critical light on all aspects of North Korea.
