That is revenue. What is the net profit?
Well, will be interesting to see how this play out. The US federal debt repayments is already above $1trillion a year.

Re:Books of the Century by Le Monde on Sunday March 22, 2026 @03:40AM (#47475311)
This is a very interesting point. Is there a similar list in India, Japan, Korea or any other country? Will be interesting to compare them and see if some of those books on the other lists are translated.
You don't have all the relevant invoices etc at on time. Some of that takes quite awhile. Especially inter country purchases and sale transaction information.
Re:Nano Banana 2: Google's latest AI image generation model on Thursday February 26, 2026 @07:52PM (#47174768)
I think the most important is number 2. People are now looking for things that are made by humans. Most detest AI slop. And if they find out that you are peddling slop, you lost trust.

It seems to me that we will go through the same phases that chess went through when chess on computers became a thing. First, people thought that this will kill chess, then people start using it as a tool to play better chess. Now, chess is thriving, despite AI being used in chess. I can see a similar path with art. Using AI to generate ideas, still create art by humans.

WebKit started as a fork of the KHTML and KJS libraries from KDE.

I think immigration was the killer for Dems in 2024.

Nixon went to China because he thought he could use the PRC as a wedge against the USSR. Then China opened up in 1979 and a lot of people believed it will be a new market for goods. It was until it wasn't.

I was an immigrant to a new country. I made an effort to learn the new rules. The immigrant adapts, not the country.

Or their fridges.
That makes no sense. House price/salary is used to compare payment periods or affordability. The context is important. Share value and GDP are totally different things and there is no direct relationship.
It is effective but wrong. It is the same as to compare a river flow to dam volume. There is a relation, but does not mean anything.

A better comparison is to compare somebody's net value to the total housing value of a city. For instance comparing Musk's net value to the total value of all the houses/apartments in New York. Or the the value of the gold in Fort Knox.
