(although I'm not sure what's so great about working all the hours that a big company CEO works, maybe the reason there's not many female CEOs is that they're not psychopathic enough)
The requirement is about members of the board of directors, not CEOs.
There is no allegation in this indictment that any American citizen committed a crime.
There is no allegation the conspiracy changed the vote count or affected any election results.
He's already charged and obtained guilty pleas from Americans in this investigation, just not in this particular indictment.
Determining any effect on the election was never in the purview of the Mueller investigation, just actions taken and the underlying intent. If you think a concerted misinformation campaign had no effect at all on voters, you are free to believe so. You are also free to believe and Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.
My understanding is that lowering average blood sugar levels slightly is significantly beneficial to overall health.
No, that's not a given. You don't want to push people with an already low blood glucose level down to hypoglycemia levels.
Low blood sugar can be a problem not only for diabetics who take too much medicine, but also people with Addison's disease, non-diabetic alcoholics, and people who do endurance sports or very high levels of exercise.
If you read the study, they did address this.
Semi-annual surveys confirmed that during year 03 to year 08 after BCG vaccinations there were no reports of severe hypoglycemia by any patient, even with lowered HbA1Cs near the normal range, and no change in their care as it related to new insulin pumps or continuous glucose monitoring devices. The placebo group of subjects continued to show hypoglycemia events during the same time periods of monitoring.
I've worked in US communities with a very high concentration of Philippino immigrants and their recent offspring. My anecdotal observation of Type I diabetes rates in this community is that it's markedly lower than what I'm used to seeing in areas of the US with predominantly European genetic stock. World health statistics also show that the Philippines has significantly lower rates of diabetes than the US.
Obama included him as one of the FCC commissioners largely to appease Republican Mitch McConnell who pushed for his appointment, IIRC, but he was NOT made chairman. He's McConnell's dog, and clearly a Republican tool.
There isn't a large artery on top of your wrist, where fitness bands use an optical sensor to measure heart rate. The capillaries that they do sense typically lag behind the heartbeat, and have an inconsistent rhythm.
A fingertip sensor works much better, as does a chest strap (which is useless if you're hairy like I am).
But aside from amusement factor, a wrist band will only give you an approximation of your real heart rate, and it may be quite a bit off in either direction.
The interosseous arteries in the wrist are almost certainly larger than any of the digital arteries that supply the fingers.
Wearing during exercise is one of the primary benefits. The optical heart rate monitors are now as good as the chest straps.
Only if you feel the need to track data about your exercising. Frankly unless you are an elite athlete then you really are just tracking that for grins and giggles most likely or are a hardcore fitness enthusiast. It doesn't matter how good a job they do of it if you don't need to track your heart rate.
One only has to look at the waistline of most americans to know that most of them aren't terribly concerned about their heartrates.
Apple Watch can alert you if your heart rate increases without a corresponding increase in detected activity, in what could be a valuable screening tool for atrial fibrillation or other tachydysrhythmias. Something like that could have saved my aunt from a crippling stroke (secondary to undiagnosed atrial fibrillation) that has left her unable to speak or walk.
Take your kid to a playground and look around. There's no clock. Go hiking or camping. There's no clock. Go to a trampoline park. No idea why they make the clocks so hard to see. Go to any restaurant.
Beginning athlete's are most in need of heart rate monitors.
iPhones keep cell tower information on device, but I've never heard a report where Apple has been collecting that data in its own servers. That's the difference, and it's an important one.
of all the sports that employ this, why reference table tennis?:)
baseball => curve ball
tennis => drop shot
i'm sure there are other examples, but TT is pretty niche (though fun)
Perhaps because the effect is so dramatically noticeable in table tennis. Somewhat less so in tennis, and much less so in baseball.
The purpose of the spin in the tennis drop shot isn't to generate a Magnus effect, which actually holds the ball aloft longer. The backwards spin on the ball is used to decrease the bounce forward and may even cause the ball to bounce backwards after hitting the ground. The Magnus effect is used in tennis in the serve and forehand topspin.
It seems like Google has made it clear that their work environment is definitively hostile towards anyone who dares question feminist dogma.
Of course, the only way they'll learn that lesson is if they're taken to court over this, for unlawful firing.
bwahahaha! "Unlawful firing"?
California is an "at will" employment state. Short of discrimination against a protected class, you can be fired for anything or nothing at all. Anti-feminists are not a protected class.
Rather than hundreds of millions of vehicles spewing toxic fumes from gasoline combustion at ground level everywhere people live, we'll have merely thousands of power plants spewing toxic fumes from coal combustion hundreds of feet into the air far outside of cities. It's not a great win (yet), but it's still a win.
In California (where more people buy Teslas than anywhere else)I, it's a great win. Virtually none of California's power comes from coal. The dirtiest power we have is natural gas plants, and they're falling as a proportion of the total electricity generated at a pretty rapid rate. So Teslas are replacing dirty ICEs with, at worst, about one third renewable or hydro power.
Now, all of a sudden Koreans are worrying about their elites paying each other off for favours? It's hardly a new thing and no-one important has been prosecuted over these sorts of deals before.
I wonder what has changed?
Actually, the Samsung CEO was prosecuted and sentenced to prison for a similar scandal years ago. IIRC, he spent very little time in prison after receiving a presidential pardon, but he was prosecuted.
Specialists have figured this out because their time is more valuable (as judged by what the pseudo-market is willing to pay them), so the marginal benefit of scribes is much greater. The cost of a scribe is a much higher percentage of an average PCP's hourly earnings than a plastic surgeon's. That makes the cost-benefit analysis a bit different.
Scribes are almost always paid by the physicians themselves. Onerous documentation requirements by the gov't and insurance companies make them almost mandatory for some of the more antiquated EMRs. Who else is going to pay for it?
I'm not seeing anything suggesting that their service is unreasonably error prone
Jean-Louis Gassee posted his experience with the service. He found that his results for something as simple as a hematocrit varied considerably from one day to the next with Theranos' tests, but stayed consistent when using a traditional lab service. If they can't get something as simple as a hematocrit right, then I have serious doubts about the accuracy of anything they do.
This matches up with my potential concerns about the service when I first read about it. The volumes of blood they use are so small, that it takes only very tiny mistakes and variances to wildly change the test results.
That's gotta be bullshit unless you're running a 64-bit Mac. Lion killed off 32-bit support in 2011. Model, please?
Not the parent poster, but my 6 year old mid-2009 15" MBP is currently running the latest public El Capitán beta with no problems. My 2008 Mac Pro is on the current Yosemite release, as I don't run beta OSs on that machine.
I was surprised by the.36. When Lexus first came out c. 1990 they advertised the LS400 heavily as having a.28 and later models got down to.24..36 is 50% worse than a 1990's sedan and surprising since range has always been an issue.
I guess it looks cool, though (hard to argue with the company's success).
You're missing the part about where this is a roadster. Convertibles have considerably more drag than cars with roofs.
Also, you're only looking at Cd. Cd is used in the drag equation to calculate total drag, and the part that isn't part of Cd is surface area. The lexus vehicles have much higher total drag because they're all much bigger cross-sectionally. The Tesla Roadster is tiny.
Oh dear. I guess your browser doesn't render the humor or sarcasm tags properly. The parent comment was intended to be snarky humor poking fun at those of us who think the gpl is a good idea. Whether or not it was actually funny is debatable of course.
With a user number about the same as mine, you have spent enough time on the internet to realize that sarcasm generally doesn't communicate well through plain text. No matter how outlandish and stupid you think your sarcasm sounds, I guarantee you that there is a significantly non-zero number of people on the same forum who are actually stupid enough to post in earnest what you posted sarcastically.
So you shouldn't be surprised when people take your sarcasm as stupidity in earnest.

Always nice to have random strangers on the internet giving unsolicited parenting advice.
KDE Konqueror.
KHTML (Konqueror) was first. Apple forked that to make Webkit. Google initially used Webkit and then forked Webkit to make Blink.
Blink powers Chrome/Chromium, Opera, and the future versions of Edge. It's based upon Webkit.
Webkit powers Safari. It's based on KHTML.
KHTML powers Konqueror. It's something the KDE team hacked together from chewing gum, old razor blades, and discarded coffee grinds.
Discarded coffee grinds powers Mr Coffee. They're based on coffee beans.
You see where this is going.
So all the browsers are java-based?

Convince the current POTUS not to be a racist, bigoted asshole?
No. California has laws protecting employees from being fired for their "political activities". I didn't see anything overtly political about it.
