Not among engineers. A programmer is not a software engineer. If someone can't design the entire application, the development process, and manage the project then they are not an engineer. That's like calling every programmer a computer scientist, which is also not true. There are computer science degrees, and software engineering degrees, and they aren't the same.
I didn't read the article, the table of data just listed "engineers." Network engineers are people, too!
Even so though, my point about the comparison between the various companies still stands. Reddit seems lean and mean compared to companies like Dropbox and Etsy.
I'm more interested in the number of engineers than the percent that are female.

I don't know why the jump to a conclusion about the weather, or why the assumption that the catalyst must have necessarily occurred precisely in 2003. I would put my money on this being an issue with diet. Monsanto's MON 810 strain of corn was approved for growing in the EU in 1998, for example. It's probably more likely that they are adopting a western diet though, which tends to make people unhealthy.
In order for a woman to drive a car legally in Memphis, Tennessee, a man must walk or run in front of it while waving a red flag to warn other motorists and pedestrians.
In order to remain in good standing with the law in Forest City, North Carolina, one must call City Hall before entering town in an automobile.
In Colorado, you are breaking the law if you drive a black car on Sundays.
It's illegal to drive a motor vehicle in Redlands, California, unless a man holding a lantern is walking in front of it.
In Glendale, Arizona, it's against the law to drive a car in reverse.
While driving along a country road at night in Pennsylvania, motorists must fire a rocket signal and wait 10 minutes for livestock to clear the road before continuing.
And one of my favorite Arizona laws: You may not have more than two dildos in a house.
There's also this one: When being attacked by a criminal or burglar, you may only protect yourself with the same weapon that the other person posseses.
That makes a real obvious way for criminals to completely run amok in this state: all they have to do is use 3 dildos to attack someone.
Why would you have to do it at night? Is the Tesla S so smart that it knows to only draw this current when the sun has set below the horizon in the particular location where the car is parked? Or could you just park the thing in whatever well-lit workshop you have available, shut it off, and test it?
People here want solar. Like the article mentions, there was a vote this week to raise monthly costs of solar users here in AZ. The public utility wanted an increase of $50 - $100 per month and spent $3.7 million on an advertising and lobbying campaign (in addition to the money they always contribute to the entirely-Republican-staffed committee that regulates them). After the vote, regulators approved a $5 increase per month. People here realize that APS is trying to stifle solar, and this is arguably the best state in the country for solar production. People want solar, and the regulators understand that (despite being Republicans).
People sense a contradiction. Something like solar frankly deserves to be subsidized, there's no reason we shouldn't be using and storing the energy that hits the country every day. It deserves a kick in the pants to get it started. So when people see others opposed to those kinds of subsidies, and notice that oil companies are getting billions every year in subsidies when they are earning record-breaking profits, there is an obvious contradiction. The future is not oil, the past is oil. The future is solar.
How about this: we shift all of the subsidies currently going to oil companies, to solar. We have no net change in how much the government spends, but we provide a much-needed boost to the future of our energy production. The oil companies will continue to earn record profits, no one is going to shed a tear for Exxon. If we then want to phase out subsidies altogether and let both industries move forward on their own, great.
Market share is only relevant because Samsung and other Android phone makers have dumped countless cheap worthless phones on the market, and get to claim market share.
Hyperbole aside, another way to state that would be to say that many many people find Apple's price point too high for what they get. You can make a blanket statement to make it seem like all Android phones are cheap and/or worthless, but that is demonstrably untrue. The top 10 smart phone list is a good microcosm of the market in general. The highest ranked phone is the iPhone 5S, and likewise the iPhone is also the single best-selling phone. Out of the other 9 places on the list, 8 of them run Android and 1 is Windows Phone. That sounds about accurate. Out of those 8 Android phones, not a single one can be described as either "cheap" nor "worthless" by anyone without a large anti-Android bias.
yes in fact people really do want their phones and tablets.
Some people do, sure. My mom and dad both use iPhones, in fact they work great for older people. But in this market the iPhone is starting to look like the cookie-cutter option, it is the Toyota Prius of smart phones. The iPhone has lost its status symbol luster, it's no longer the phone that people buy to be seen with like it was during the first couple models. Samsung and HTC phone have replaced the iPhone in that regard. The iPhone is just the phone for people who are already locked into the Apple environment. I have the HTC One, which is second on that top 10 list. My phone has a quad-core 1.7GHz processor, compared with the 5S's dual-core 1.3GHz chip. My phone has twice as much RAM as the 5S. My phone has a larger screen (4.7 in), higher resolution (1920x1080), and higher pixel density (468ppi vs 326ppi) than the 5S. My phone can also stream native HDMI. It is objectively a better device. The only part of the 5S that you might consider to be superior is the software, and that is completely subjective. You might think iOS is fantastic. Quite obviously, a large segment of the market does not agree with you. I was not lamenting the lack of iOS when I paid $600 to buy the One outright.
Even if that is technically true, then it's still correct to say "larger than any environmental disaster in U.S. history". I'm not sure that's any better. You work for BP, don't you?
Why do you care about being polite and social to "annoying random people?" If they annoy you, tell them they annoy you. Why bother hiding behind feigned civility?
Isn't making a false statement under the DMCA essentially like perjury?
From what I understand, the law is stacked in favor of the so-called "rights holders". The claim that they are making under the threat of perjury is not that they own the rights to the work that they are claiming, it is that they are representing who they say they are.
That makes it legal for them to say "we represent Warner and we are demanding the takedown of Nailin' Palin because it infringes our rights." It's legal for them to say that even though Warner does not actually own the copyright to Nailin' Palin. It would be illegal if they stated that they represented someone other than who they represent.
In other words, the law basically says "fuck you, that's why."
Since each readout is logged and timestamped, this log data correlated with location history for cruisers could be used to build a massive location history database with very good coverage.
The solution for that is to not store license plate information for people without a warrant. The only reason for police to store the time and license plate every time they do a scan is the same reason why the NSA wants everyone's phone records to be stored. "Just in case." That shouldn't fly, if they want to scan plates looking for people with outstanding warrants, fine, but if they scan a plate and it's clean then there's no reason for them to store that record.
Yes, he went to jail for various tax-related charges, and then again for violation of parole, and was released in March 2012. And now this website is online. Not that the two have any affiliation.
Phoenix is only 165 miles from Rocky Point, Mexico. That means that Phoenix is over 3 times closer to the Pacific than this site. Phoenix, of course, is noted for being off the coast of the Pacific.
Just because someone at Fox News put "Noted Authority" on the Chiron under a TV guest doesn't mean they know what they are talking about.
That's just wrong, Fox doesn't lie. Just look at this paragraph:
Nichols now believes the Luipan Mountains that rise above the grasslands are the final resting place of the famed emperor, a short flight north of Hong Kong, near the Yellow River, off the coast of the Pacific Ocean.
That's completely accurate. The site is only about 1,000 miles north of Hong Kong, which is about the same as the short flight from Miami to New York. And it's only about 575 miles from the Pacific Ocean, which is definitely "off the coast" of it. It's not "on the coast", right? So it must be off the coast.
I'm pretty sure it all hurts. Using the same numbers, the kinetic energy would be 8.4 megajoules of energy. I don't know about you, but to me that sounds like a lot of joules. If my math is right, that's about equal to the energy released by 4 pounds of TNT. If that's too confusing, just think of it as the power needed to light a lightbulb requiring 8.4 million watts for 1 second. Or an 8-ton vehicle moving at around 100mph. Or, if you can imagine an apple weighing 840,000 kilograms, it's the energy released when you drop that apple a meter. I'm not sure what the conversion to a library of Congress is. I'm just a Wikipedia physicist here.
It's a 3 ton low speed aircraft crashing into an armored cruiser by definition designed to be shot at with things like shells and missiles and bombs and torpedoes. Surpising.
The BQM-74E has a gross weight of 549 pounds, not 3 tons, and it can fly around 600mph. I am certainly not a physicist, but even I can remember p=mv. If the mass is 249kg, and the velocity is 260 m/s, then the momentum is around 65,000 Netwons per second. In comparison, a bullet will typically carry less than 1 Newton per second of momentum. So yeah, if you get by 65 kilonewtons per second, there's going to be some damage.
A 3-ton object moving at the same speed would have over 700 kilonewtons per second of momentum.
I like how you talk about how it's humane to keep a cat inside while mentioning that your dog, which is not native to your area and which you keep outside, kills all the cats. Sounds like you should keep your dog inside if you care about animal welfare.
Stopping my cat from assisting in the destruction of the local ecosystem is selfish? Keeping her away from traffic, aggressive dogs, and asshole humans is selfish? Preventing her from getting fleas and ticks is selfish?
Cats are predators. If you both prevent your cat from hunting, as well as don't satisfy those impulses with toys or other stimulation, then that's a problem for the cat. Keeping a cat indoors is not the only way to prevent fleas and ticks. It's also not your responsibility to keep your cat away from dogs or people, the cat is perfectly capable of doing that itself. The selfish part is that you don't want the cat to go outside in case it doesn't come home for whatever reason and then you're sad. I've had outdoor cats my whole life. One of them died of natural causes outside of the house and we found her body later. One of them got ran over by a car, and the other 4 did not die outside. They are perfectly suited to taking care of themselves. If a cat doesn't want a dog to see it, the dog won't see it.

Yeah so there's this giant market called "China"....
The largest smart phone market, actually. Samsung has a market share of 21%, while Apple has a market share of 6%. China has several domestic vendors also.
Market share is only relevant because Samsung and other Android phone makers have dumped countless cheap worthless phones on the market, and get to claim market share.

Also, it looks like it got ported to iOS and Android. I'll have to check that out the next time I have to go to the bathroom.
Not really - a car made of solid granite would be impossible to set on fire, if useless as a means of conveyance.
Not true. It was very useful in Carmageddon.
