This is a horrible system. It is misandry, It makes the male the criminal. The one who purchases the product (sex) the one committing a crime.
There should be no laws broken for either party.
It's simple, they didn't want the users to know about it. It's planned obsolescence.They knew the Lithium batteries would deteriorate after a few hundred charge cycles, ~18-24 months and the software would slow down the phones.
The fact that it was NOT disclosed, tells you about their motive. Sell more hardware.
While that is technically a correct solution, to keep the device from out right failing, by degrading them. The RIGHT thing to do by Apple would have been to INFORM the customers that their hardware was being degraded and they could have their batteries replaced for $75 rather than buying a $600 new phone.
Apple knew good and well what it was doing and choose to obfuscate the problem to maximize new hardware sales.
The iPhone 8, other than a faster processo, slightly better camera and wireless charging is the exact same as the 7, which is very similar to the 6.
The X has the same internals as the 8 and is much more expensive.
Apple has really quit trying to be a innovative leader.
Accuweather has a long history of shady dealings. This comes as little surprise. One of their founders is an attorney. They are well known for suing their customers.
Amazon with almost certainty knew the unlimited model wasn't going to work. So they ran this "unlimited promotion" long enough for users to upload tons of data and now that their data is up there, make them pay more to keep it up there.
There are cheaper options out there. I feel like I got bait & switched by Amazon.
So the idea of male / female armed forces was really not that well thought out. I mean do they really think a bunch of late teen/20 somethings will not sharing nude pictures this day and age? They are creating more problems than existed in the first place.
The whole global drug development system needs to be changed. As it now the U.S. develops and the U.S. population is saddle with paying for most of the new drug research and development in the world. Once developed a drug that cost $50,000 p/year in the US will cost $800 in some other part of the globe.
The whole R/D and economic system needs to evaluated. The US population is being unfairly burden with the high cost of the drugs.
Since compensation in the private sector is more or less based on performance and since we are talking large statistical samples, might it be that males generally excel at IT functions?
Also for career paths in general, on a large statistical basis, women are much more likely to leave the work for some period of time to raise children or in some cases they marry have a partner that allows them to not work or work part time. This is highly disruptive to their career growth and their compensation. This I suspect, is the majority or any pay discrepancy between males an females on a large statistical scale.
Otherwise, I think the whole this is a political wedge to gain votes. I am a business owner and I suspect all business owners are going to hire the lowest cost, yet most productive employees they can. If women were willing to work for less and were such great deals, all companies would hire women exclusively. This argument falls flat.
Going through the benchmarks, it appears that AMD has really developed an architecture that was built with the datacenter/server/virtualization/HPC world in mind. It crushes Intel 6900k on some of the intensive Floating Point and computational processes that utilize all the cores efficiently. While on the desktop this may not be as crucial, in the server/hpc/virtualization world this huge.
The new 'Naples' server chip, if it performs as well as the Ryzen, will be a major competitor to Intel in the HPC, cloud computing and server arena. The virtualization market alone is huge, which demands large numbers of highly efficient cores, which Ryzen has demonstrated it is capable of delivering.
Unless AMD stumbles, the server CPU market is about to get a breath of fresh air later this year, with a much better performance/$ product in all likelihood.
I agree. Most games, for serious gamers, that are going to buy the 1800x are GPU bound anyway, not CPU. The 1800x will perform just as well as the Intel high end desktop CPU's at 4k or on multi-monitor setups. This is a clear home run for AMD, considering performance/$ across the board. If you play games at low resolution and that's it, why would you buy a $500 CPU in the first place? The reviews have been overly negative in this light, IMO.
I good not agree more. Had the exact same experience.
The most frustrating and life sucking 2 years of my life was having an Indian web development company try and develop a custom e-commerce web site from the ground up.
If you did not tell them exactly, and I mean *EXACTLY* what to do, they had no ability to be creative and problem solve. Given the 24 hour time delay to get things answered. It took 2 years to get a site up that should have taken 4 months. Never again!
You can be sure scientist on the side of Climate Change have been cashing in on all the research/corporate money and federal $$ available on the side that supports Climate Change You can also be sure the NYTimes.com isn't going to report on this either. They have one view and if you are of another opinion or have reached a different scientific conclusion you must be a crook.
Oh by the way, I an atmospheric scientist and I work with computer models every day. I have serious doubts about how well we can simulate the future climate of earth in 10 years, let alone 100 years into the future. We just recently began incorporating micro-biology into the climate models. They are very crude and in my opinion, it's these very organisms that over the long term, will play an ultimate role in the carbon/oxygen balance. Until we have these features much better modeled, we cannot say with any sort of certainty what the earth's temperature will look like in the long term.
At this point, there is still a lot of variability in the outcome, by make very minute changes to the model initial assumptions.

This is the Dutch Tulip Mania Bubble all over again. No question. http://www.thebubblebubble.com...
When you prioritize diversity hiring and your Chief Security Officer has no professional training in IT Security.
Isn't it ?

I think they are claiming the numbers are wrong.

Don't try to figure it out, the data is made up. We figured out the author is a feminist and used "Proprietary data". More lies about the Wage Gap.

I suggest everyone buy AMD, until there is a sucessful compeitor to Intel they will continue to price gouge, as evidence by these overpriced chips.
They don't want you to leave their web site, it's that simple.
That number is very misleading, but does contain a valuable metric.
I would *up vote* this if I had points.
Doing it right before Christmas, would have been worse. All those ad-blockers have an impact.

How much money as Al Gore made of the whole Global Warming theory?
