My guess would be that the Chinese have a better diet. They have not transitioned to a "western" high fat diet yet. These numbers could change if children born in 2018 grow up to eat a western diet.
Who cares about Facebook, how is Reddit still alive?!?
I was assured that after they banned the Nazis and fat-hate groups everyone was going to leave in protest at the assault on free speech. Literally all Reddit users were outraged and already registering accounts on Voat.
The only differences between Windows XP Home and Pro are:
- The ability to become part of a Windows Server domain - UI for per-file access controls (you can use other tools to do it on Home) - Remote Desktop server - Offline Files and Folders - Encrypting File System - Internet Information Services (IIS), Microsoft's HTTP and FTP Server - Dual CPU support (single CPUs with multiple cores supported on Home) - Windows Management Instrumentation Console (WMIC) - The ability to switch hard disk storage type from Basic to Dynamic and vice versa.
For most people none of those are very relevant. Unless you are on a corporate network there really wasn't much point having Pro.
As far as Windows 10 goes, the biggest reason people want to upgrade is to get to Enterprise and have control over installing updates.
I wonder if they reduced regen when the battery warmed up after repeated hard stops. Since most people don't do repeated emergency stops in real life it probably won't affect battery longevity.
I don't disagree with you, but the issue isn't skill or quality of commentary necessarily. In other areas it's been shown to be less aggressive promotion and monetisation.
That's something we might be able to look at and help with. I really don't see why wanting to understand the issue and offer helpful advice is such a problem.
There must be some limit they were up against. Presumably heating of the brakes or something like that. So they adjust the limit to allow more consecutive hard stops.
Testing for that kind of thing takes more than a week. You need a good number of samples. Talk to the manufacturer. Do accelerated testing to destruction.
It's good that they fixed it, I just worry because updating such software is not a trivial thing. A mistake could be fatal. And apparently they didn't test it very well in the first place, so with time pressure and Musk demanding a fix... The potential for things to go wrong now and in the future is high.
There is a reason it takes a long time to develop software for car systems and why it doesn't usually change much. It's not like a phone app where you can roll it out to 10% of users to see if it crashes for them, but that seems to be what Tesla actually does... Updates roll out incrementally and sometimes come in rapid succession if problems are found.
Which isn't to say that other manufacturers are necessarily better, as the Fiat debacle demonstrates. Maybe we just need better software engineering all round for cars.
I'm more concerned that a) they released the car with crap brakes and didn't notice until Consumer Reports told them about it and b) an over-the-air software update developed in about a week can apparently affect the operation of a critical safety system.
In all those cases there was not enough evidence to prove that they lied beyond a reasonable doubt. What part of that don't you understand?
Also note how the accusers were sued in two of those cases and lost, owning hundreds of thousands of dollars. In the Duke case the accused each got $20M. It really doesn't sound like there were no consequences or reparations.
You are most likely correct. Studies have found that the problems start even before school, especially in places where school starts relatively late. By age 7 a lot of incorrect gender stereotypes are already deeply ingrained.
One classic demonstration for 7 year olds is to show that at that age girls and boys are actually about equally physically strong. The divergence doesn't begin until puberty. It's a really powerful demo because most children are so absolutely convinced that 7 year old boys are much much stronger than 7 year old girls. That can then be used to set up some more myth-busting around academic performance and things like spacial awareness.
As for women leaving STEM not being entirely honest, I think it's more just that that's how they experience these biases. If they find the maths part of the course hard they think that it's just "not for them", where as male students will tend to assume they just need to work at it a bit more and are naturally capable with effort. It's something I need to spend more time studying.
Interesting. I didn't see a single one as far as I recall, but they do seem to be selling well. Maybe just not in the areas where I've been.
I can see why the government subsidises it. There are a lot of old, dirty ICE vehicles that are even slower, not very safe and probably can't reliably do 60km on a regular basis. At 58k RMB this is a nice, affordable replacement.
Um, do you mind? We were having an intelligent conversation until you blundered in. I mean, at least address the actual points I made, don't just throw in some generic vaguely related rant.
So what arbiter1 actually meant was that women we are attractive and willing to trade off that, perhaps with revealing clothes or flirty chat, find it easier. Women who can't or won't do that don't get that advantage.
You do know that she wasn't trans, right? That's simply untrue. It's bad that you care so little about accuracy and truth.
SJW is subjective, but her very conservative views don't seem to line up with any common definition of it either.
As for Brexit, I'm trying to stop it, and as for "journalists" if he was one he'd have known not to jeopardize other people's trials. It's actually the normal way it works in the UK, because juries are not locked up and cut off from the outside world for the duration, so while it can be reported that the trial is on-going and some details (including statements made by those involved, evidence presented etc.) can be reported it has to be done in a way that won't risk making the whole thing become unfair and subsequently collapse.
It's the price of freedom for the jury, i.e. not being locked up and cut off from the world. If he had just waited a few days he could have reported it all he liked, as everyone else did. Ironically he antics shifted the focus away from the people on trial who he was so concerned about and onto him.
Equal pay is definitely an issue still, despite it being illegal. But the gender pay gap is a very different beast with very different and more complex solutions.
To fix the gender pay gap we need to go things like encourage more women to get into STEM. Research suggests that despite girls on average out-performing boys in maths at school, anxiety over maths ability in girls is much higher and stops them choosing to pursue STEM subjects. It's actually one of the hardest myths to dispel, as it turns out.
To be fair Nissan was pushing affordable EVs 8 years ago, and Tesla still hasn't got theirs out. And the Chinese are pushing it really hard too, with 90% of new busses already being EVs with batteries several times the size of the biggest ones that Tesla sells.
The government aims for all busses to be EVs within a few years, and in some places they already are. Battery sizes vary but the largest I've seen is 450kWh.
There are a lot of electric taxis too. Not sure what size battery exactly, but the BYD ones I've used must have been at least 70kWh, probably more based on the rate that the charge percentage went down. Most had 100,000km or more on them too.
But does one have the right to be informed of the existence of all open job positions?
That's not the problem, the issue is the pay-per-view model that Facebook uses.
If you advertise a job on Monster or some other job site you pay for the time it is displayed there. Doesn't matter how many people view it, so there is really no point in them offering to hide it from certain demographics.
If you advertise a job on Facebook you pay for impressions and click-throughs. So advertising to demographics that you have no intention of hiring costs you money. Of course, if you don't care about the applicant's age there is no problem, but if you do then Facebook offers handy tools to save you some cash.
It all depends on the intent of selecting those magazines for advertising. If the goal is to market stuff to those demographics then that's not going to disadvantage anyone else. If the goal is to make sure white people don't see certain job adverts because for some reason they only want people of colour, that's probably illegal.
In other words it's not the targeting per-se that is the issue, it's if the targeting disadvantages anyone.

There are a lot of McDonalds' in China...

I agree with you. I was saying your originally proposed model was flawed because of the reasons you just explained.
Depends on the razor. Eyebrow razors are cheaper in pink around here.

It's not an advantage to men, I never implied it was.
I was merely pointing out that the OP's statement is not correct.
I have some experience in this area.
There must be some limit they were up against. Presumably heating of the brakes or something like that. So they adjust the limit to allow more consecutive hard stops.

I drive an EV (hate fossil cars), am not that old (I keep telling myself) and write embedded software for a living.
I test my software for longer than a week before releasing it, and it's not even safety critical.
I'm more concerned that a) they released the car with crap brakes and didn't notice until Consumer Reports told them about it and b) an over-the-air software update developed in about a week can apparently affect the operation of a critical safety system.

Interesting that this was modded troll. Someone's fragile masculinity must be threatened I guess.

In other news, man don't buy products specifically tailored to females.
I do. I'm not paying an extra 5 bucks for the tactical matte black male grooming tool when the pink razor is exactly the same.
