I'd go way younger than that to be honest, at least for certain topics.
My twins are 8 (boy and a girl). They still bathe together and share a room. They know about their physical differences (and we use anatomical words), but it's not anything they consider. They don't have the hormones to care, they are just kids (and best friends).
But. They have an 8 year old friend who is starting puberty prematurely. When she's over it's girls only if there is a bath. They all still sleep in the same room, usually on the floor camping style (we camp a lot).
Getting more complicated, they have another 8 year old friend whose gender is a girl but over the last year she has realized she feels like a boy. Talk about a tough conversation with my kids (wasn't that hard actually, after an awkward start we said to treat HIM as a boy and call him his boy name). And again, no baths with friends, HE is coming to sleep over with my kids tonight for the first time.
While it might not be "sexual education", understanding gender identity and the fact that we change as we get older are well within the realm of 8 year olds. My kids know the parts involved to make babies, but they don't know how they interact, or fit together...
And of course we've had the conversation about their nether regions, who is allowed to see them, stranger danger, and when physical violence is justified (jujitsu, no one sees a rear naked choke coming from a child, but they are wicked at it and very fast).
The UI should be lightweight (example from my perspective: for an internal corporate app and a Windows shop, use basic WPF or even Winforms, Winforms are the roads and aqueducts the Romans built... - mature). The exponential user facing Web 2.0/3.0/4.0/5.0 libraries are getting stupid. Angular Material rewrites CSS (try centering something).
UI design should be an important consideration of course. But it doesn't have to be shiny, just easy and intuitive to use. For internal corporate apps at least.
If there is a traditional god that seeded the universe then it is basically a simulation.
I don't buy into god-like intervention which is popular in religious works. We live, die, and evolve via biology, physics, and chemistry (and geography which the others contribute to).
I'm either atheist or agnostic. I don't think it really matters either way.
statista is requiring money to see the stats. Is the graph quarterly? What's the numeric value (for the last line, the highest, assuming it is showing me an accurate line without paying)?
Selling only 14 million or so iPads in a quarter doesn't seem bad. Looks like market saturation rather than loss of business due to competition.
At my house we have 2 iPad 3s (kids) and 2 Amazon Fires (adults). I would get the kids onto Fire tablets but we are a bit locked into Apple ecosystem due to purchases.
I thought about these type of situations. My post was for people who have such family relationships and knowledge.
Generalized for the majority.
To your point, I now have a wider understanding of the use cases of genetic testing.
I have an African-American friend who says he will never use Ancestry.com since he can trace his lineage cleanly back to slavery (but not past ocean crossings of such). I've mentioned genetic testing as a possible method of going further back (I recommended the National Geographic option).
You will end up looking a lot like your mother or father, depending on your birth gender.
You will have the problems your parents have (propensity for dementia, alcoholism, diabetes, cancer, etc.).
If your grandparents live past 80 take care of yourself and you can too (eat well or exercise, one or the other works, generally). Pay attention to dementia, get your paperwork in order depending on how you want to handle that, just in case.
If you want, ask potential child-birthing partners about their family history. I wouldn't suggest this, let love lead the way and have a good time.
I read the article and the identical linked article.
I couldn't find the # of people employed before the 90% layoff.
How many people did the automation replace?
The implementation costs are also wildly varied, there's a factor of 10 (1 to 10 billion?, so $8M USD to $80M USD).
From the article: Uniqlo plans to invest 100 billion yen (about $887 million) in the project over an unspecified timeframe. (The Japan News reported that it costs about 1 billion to 10 billion yen to automate an existing warehouse.)
I'm not sure what would constitute/define a monopoly with regards to Amazon, but once they are over 50% of all online sales they would have a majority among a group tens of thousands of other online sales companies.
We buy tons of things from Amazon (just checked, 48 orders in the past 6 months, good lord!), but I welcome any government intervention. It will happen, when is the question.
True all that. I've thought long and hard about the issue of external money and influence (difficult to stop given the 1st Amendment, money and speech are tightly intertwined, as well as access).
We need more political parties, but the two of them have a lock on the system, notice who doesn't get invited to debates (and tings like redistricting - "Let's draw a map where our voters are at!", this actually proves how locked into the two-party system we are). At this time I'm not happy with the 3rd party alternatives either.
That said, business regulation is complicated. Many times it is a "barrier to entry" for upstarts. That's bad (and probably bought). Regulation "shifts" the boundaries of freedom. But it both makes sense and is necessary, think bribery (ohhhh snap!, right back to politics...).

There was a bit of evidence, but frankly it was insane.
Mr. K produced his calendar from 1982 when he was in high school. Who keeps that for such a long period of time?
That's some rather extreme record keeping, especially for one in high school. He must have a warehouse of records.
I still have my high school year books though, the other evidence that was produced (character assessment).
Of course these items weren't direct evidence regarding the events.
But they are a favored trade partner focusing on two way oil for weapons deals.
So we arm nations that oppress their citizens more than China. In 2017, Trump signed a $110 billion military sale agreement with Saudi Arabia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
What's this about internet censorship? Oh, Saudi Arabia used Secure Computing, a US corporation, to manage country wide internet monitoring and filtering, not just search.
Works for me. I've experienced a cabin depressurization.
It wasn't a serious one, it was a shattered outer layer of the windshield. Masks didn't drop but ears suffered badly until the emergency landing. So many fire trucks, police cars, and military vehicles lined up and then following us (civilian/military airport, Albuquerque).
Odds of survival are very low if the masks drop. Let me sleep...

Since it was only 98 megabytes the pluralization is the correct way to reference the unit.

Failure to use the word failure is my failure...
Thanks, so this was the 2nd manned abort. That is incredible.
Hear hear!
The API is where the work gets done.

Already +5 Insightful.
Survival during launch is incredible. Has this ever happened before?
The Google fails my search attempts, only showing complete failures...

Here's how it works.

The roof on my house is flat tar/paper and has issues every few years as the tar dries and eventually cracks due to exposure to the environment.
This sounds like a great solution to the tar part of the equation.
The house is from the late 1880s.

And they are getting paid for it I assume.
If not, cool project.
If so, just another step towards Idiocracy (with regards to the research topics at the beginning of the movie).
Copy of a post I replied with to another user. It's about market share (everyone but Amazon and Walmart are part of the long tail of all sales):
In the US, Amazon has almost 50% of ALL online sales. And abut 5% of all retail.

They have knowledge of what sells from other parties, what's popular.
They then manufacture those products and directly compete on their sales platform, with full knowledge of sales and pricing of their competitors.
What's that smell? Federal intervention.
SuperMicro is going to mean the number of customers they end up with.

But oil (and our incessant fear of Iran)...
Freaked the shit out of people for a few seconds. Thousands of phones went off at once in a very busy airport, a few people sought cover/shelter.
Now I expect regular Tweets but not via Twitter...
Works for me. I've experienced a cabin depressurization.

Seriously, knock us out while flying. I want to board and then get off.
Solves the terrorism issues during flight.
That said, they should only offer roller coaster VR experiences. Over and over.
