Are you aware that boys get SIGNIFICANTLY worse notes at school than girls nowadays? (for some reason, it isn't perceived as a problem) But there is one glaring exception in that stats: boys still do WAY better than girls at math on average.
Could you explain that from "no genetics bias here" perspective please?
Not sure if that was the OPs point, but I'm thinking more about the patent trolls. If you bought the software, it's sellers problem. With free open source software, it's yours.
We know that, for instance, consumption tests are done in extremely car friendly conditions, e.g. constant (low) speed, maybe a bit overblown tiers, empty car etc etc.
They claim cars by those manufacturers produce 2-3 times more Nox than claimed.
Compare that to DOZENS of times more by VW. (e.g. 22 times by Audi) Sounds like sensationalism to me.
As a person who actually tried it (albeit preview version): you can get sick no matter the FPS depending on what is being shown to you AND your genetics.
You don't need 4k $ PC to get high enough FPS, another way is to have slightly simpler scene, no problem. And if you think consoles (Sony has something between AMD 7850-7870 in it) check out this demo (real time rendering): https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
I wouldn't bet on OR, though. (offtopic: a real shame how kickstarter backers won't get anything from FB deal) If anyone, Sony, which YEARS AGO released wearable TV (HMZ series) is working on project Morpheus and has helluva experience in gaming/controllers area, will do that.
On pricing side of things, Sony's rep once said it would cost "as console", so 350$-ish area.
It hurts customers, if Amazon is using its dominant position in one market, to gain advantages in another market. Imagine Google banning amazon / amazon product related searches from their database.
Amazon is the biggest online retailer with market share bordering "monopolist" status. Amazon also markets its own streaming devices
This move is very deep in "evil/misuse" territory.
How on earth could it be OK that it is allowed to BAN competing streaming devices from its store? Imagine that Microsoft would refuse to allow browsers, besides IE to be installed on Microsoft Windows, because, say, they aren't compatible with Windows Media Player.
US Patent Office is indeed the most tech startup friendly system one could imagine. Which is no wonder, considering US patent system is the "envy of the world": http://yro.slashdot.org/story/...
And lovely trend of "group X is underrepresented => it's because of discrimination" is improving the environment even more.
Typical electric car consumes 35 kWh per 100km. (62 miles) Say it can drive 400km (250 miles). That's 140 kWh of energy.
A typical home socket (well, in EU, 220-240V, will be less in USA) has 16A limit, so that's around 3.6 kW, but oh well. Let's say we equip our houses with special supercharger.
Now, to pump 140 kWh in 15 mins, one needs electircity source of 560 kW. Typical "big" power plants with several blocks are normally in 1-1.5GW area. With about 2500 such vehicles you'd consume 100% of power generated by such power plant.
In Germany (at least where I live, NRW county, each has it's own system) a kid can pass all tests with perfect results, yet, still NOT get "excellent" mark, cause, he/she "wasn't active in class". (real story of a son of a friend of mine)
Well. For a hobby project (controller for Gaggia Classic coffee machine) I am actually quite tempted, as I am familiar with coding for windows and not at all for Linux world.
I work in IT, but here is what I got from the colleagues from engineering. The reason the same models (e.g. VW Passat, Mazda 3, Ford Focus.... pretty much any car out there) have different bodies in EU/USA is that they are optimized for market specific crash tests.
As simple as that.
It's not like you'd score 0 stars in one market and 5 in the other, most likely it would be 5 to 4, but even 4 stars is a major problem for sales.
Universal body that would get excellent scores in all markets would be: a) significantly more expensive b) significantly heavier
In other words they seriously think that the anticipated big budget movies that are poised to make hundreds of millions $ will suddenly make even (significantly) more, if they don't let some dudes record it on their smartphone and share via torrent, by equiping cinema personel with night vision googles.
It's rather a sad story about kickstarter "backers". People support a project and risk losing their money and projects fails and most of them fail.
"9,522 backers pledged $2,437,429 to help bring this project to life." (oculus rift on kickstarter.com)
Yet even in rare cases when a project is a huge success, backers don't get anything from that success. No right to influence direction in which the project develops either.

There is no innate bias from genetic here.

Why should software development "be a little bit more professional"?
Parent is "flamebait"? What a shame...
How would FB make money on them to get subsidies back?

Blur or whatever postprocessing and, tadaaa, there goes your ID.
DVD Screeners are marked like that, doesn't really help.

That's quite pragmatic.
You should be asking "did Einstein learn physics in a class".
Yes he did.
So some indie devs support linux, how is that Valve's achievement?
For how long are we "advanced" enough to emit radio waves?
For how long will we actually emit them, before switching to a less noisy ways?
Isn't it that advanced civilizations make noise only for a (relatively) very short period of time?

I wonder would would happen if was other way around, seriously.
Ever wondered, how many of Russian paid trolls are on Wikipedia?
Heck, there is even:
Presidential Commission of the Russian Federation to Counter Attempts to Falsify History to the Detriment of Russia's Interests
As of 2001 census:
24.0% of Crimean population were Ukrainians.
10% Tatars.
That's one clear example of how fucking rigged was the "referendum", in which " 96.77 percent vote for ..." "integration" with Russia.
Earlier case studies have shown about 30% of the Crimea's population supporting separatism.
And?
PS
Frankly, I thought it was already the case and not just in Scandinavia, in most of the western countries.
E.g. Tyson's case.
But a witness is not an accuser, is he/she?
