Living in Germany, I need to tell you this: on a 3 lane highway with lengthy no speed limit part, driving 150-160km/h (100miles/h) I am normaly in the slowest lane, or in the second slowest (i.e. trucks on your way... they aren't allowed to drive on Sundays though).
On the third you can easily meet guys doing 200km/h+ and, trust me, seeing much faster car approaching you in rear view window is rather disturbing.
Typical e-car needs somewhere between 25-35kWh of energy to drive 100km. (vs typical 5-7 litres of gasoline). Typical German family consumes about 4000kWh annually. Typical German drives about 10'000kms annually.
Basically, if peope switch to e-cars, houshold power consumption would at least double.
PS Oh, and about solar panels. a) energy is actually fed into the commen power grid, it's more profitable that way too, but regardless, due to taxes et all, one can't consume that energy himself) b) more than half of Germany's electricity is produced using "old ways" (coil, nuclear plants)
Things are changing too quickly in IT for decades of experience to be considered valuable. Nobody cares about dude's ability to use Cobol tricks in C#/Java/Python whatever. Young people keep showing amazing results in this area, which devalues oldies even further.
This might get better in the future, as IT progress will slow.
If this game was only about strategy, average player would have a chance vs pro (pure luck). But it's about... micro. Strategy isn't that hard to master. Amazing micro is what makes pro players pro.
And there are things which even pro players can't do, but AI easily can: micro managing multiple battles spread across the map.
Wondered about that too. Most top player games I've watched had a lot like click spamming. Also, some key presses are like, say building new units: select buildings - click unit hotkey N times, once per unit.
PS I'd expect AI to win based on perfect micro alone. It can also "cheat" by spreading the attacks. Even if human player can get close to microing units in one battle, they certainly can't match AI in multiple harrasment attack scenario.
Phone screens have gotten bigger, but are still small. Clamping small screen with buttons (or forcing select first, then click a button, which is even worse), so that someone doesn't need to learn a thing or two... what about "no, thanks"?
What you see is an object that you interact with. E.g. a contact in a list of contacts.
Then you interact with it. Swipe left - message. Swipe right - call. Press and hold - for menu. Not hard to learn, very comfortable to use.
My eyes were about a sentence ahead of the point I was understanding (comprehending? whatever, not a native English speaker). At some point I stopped reading a lot and had lost that skill and now I read about 1.5 times slower than back then. I can't recall any negative side effects, such as rememberiing or missing out things. Mother told me, one of the librarians, who was suspicious about little kid (10 years old) reading so many books so quickly ("maybe he just skims through for pictures?"), asked questions about stories in them. I gave correct answers to all questions. I don't remember the episode, although I remember librarian that was extremely kind in helping me find something interesting to read.
"Don't like conditions - don't buy it" could apply to pretty much any condition, right? Yet there are numerous laws that prohibit this and that in TOC.(e.g. warranty conditions in EU, see Apple's woes in Italy)
Now, do you think that thas laws are useless/evil/etc or do you think that "don't like - don't buy" might not cut it in some situations?
You guys need to take into account that next to no TV or radio channel has mentioned that Putin's friends are mentioned in Panamagate. The main Panamagate context for Russian TV is Ukraine's president.
JVM has no problem being performant (thanks to advanced JIT, which, at least in theory, can even be faster than static compiler, as it has runtime information such as which branch is more likely to be taken). The only inherent disadvantage of it is memory footprint. But that's the price you pay for not having to malloc/free.
It doesn't really contradict what ArchMi said, it just doesn't exclude other possibilities. What you've cited was at best "but there could be other reasons". Well, there could be. Possibly. But that's exactly what people often labeled as SJWs do: claim/imply that the only explanation to gender disparity is discrimination/suppression. Yet it looks like not only "not the only", but even rather unlikely explanation.
I guess you missed the following part:
"The striking thing about the looking data shows that the attraction to these objects occurs very early in life, before it's likely to have been socialized."
This piece makes "social basis" argument look rather wrong:
Further buttressing the idea that toy preferences are caused by hormones, last year, a group of British researchers found that girls with a condition called congenital adrenal hyperplasia, who experienced abnormally high levels of the male sex hormone androgen while in the womb, prefer to play with male-typical toys.
If the ratio of women to men at your university is so low, aren't you interested to know why?
Literally interested or "don't you feel urge to try to have 50/50 ratio"?
There are next to no men working in Kindergartens, aren't you interested to know why? There are next to no women in construction industry, aren't you interested to know why? There is monstrous wage disparity between genders in modelling industry, aren't you interested to know why?
The problem is, recalling your earlier comments, I think you are interested neither in items that I've listed, nor even in your own example. Because, it seems that you have decided on "why" long ago, namely that it is because one gender is suppressing another in some way is the only explanation you have for such disparities What makes things worse worse, you only care about certain gender, but not the other - which is actually quite inconsistent with the idea of equality.
It might be just me, but in the beginning I found (native English speaker) women were much harder to understand, than men. (they "sing" it a bit and also tend to speak faster than men)
PS VR that they are releasing soon will benefit from 90+ FPS (it can go as far as 120Hz, Oculus only does 90) 4.5 games will run on older PS4, but with lower FPS. All in all, it's about VR.
The interesting part is, exactly HOW they are boosting current PS4 hardware, is it still 28nm process, or is AMD far enough with 14/16nm. AMD recently demonstrated Polaris based low range (960 levels) GPU with very impressive perf/ration (at least two times better than 960).
It depends on your genes, I guess. I've tried "roller coaster" in Oculus Rift (first version). It was fine and quite fun. Then colleague started another demo without stopping previous one (which kept holding control) so that when I was rotating my head "world" was rotating with it. I got VERY strong nausea which lasted for several hours (although, that kind of environment is probably irrelevant in normal conditions).
One of my colleagues who tried VR felt sick for about 2 weeks (!!!). Although that was one out of 20 guys, so is rather rare.
As Sony's representative once explained, what developers could do is minimize impact of technology being imperfect, by reducing lag, increasing frame rates etc, HOWEVER if you would feel sick sitting in a plane doing (mild, so that G-force doesn't matter much) acrobatics, you would also get sick when doing that in a game even if you are in a perfect VR helm, they can not fix that.
Lies. FBI never demanded the keys, on the opposite, the whole "do it at your own headquarters, Apple" suggestion was so that FBI does not touch not only the keys (why would one need them anyway??? +5 interesting, pathetic) but that FBI doesn't touch even binaries for THAT SINGLE IPHONE.
Do you realize, that backdoor is, in fact, ALREADY THERE, right? What government demanded was access to an EXISTING backdoor, conveniently left there by Apple.

I recall particle "interference" was gone, if particles were detected. Can't one use that with entangled particles?

I'm fine with that, but then don't call men only clubs sexist. Like here, for instance:

I frankly think this is most likely just an attempt to bring attention to Swift.
It's hard to imagine Google switching to it, to say the least.

That's clearly a PR move (and pretty effective one, it seems), it does not need to make any sense to tech savvy.
7 years old rig, the only parts that were replaced over these years are HDDs (bought bigger ones/SSD) and GPU.
CPU: i5 750 (4 cores, 45nm (!!!))
RAM: 8Gb of RAM

Have no problems playing modern games at 1080p.
