MPH for charging speed is a very useful metric, because it tells you how long you will have to charge to go a certain distance. If your destination is 200 miles away and you charge at 400 MPH, you know that you need to charge for half an hour.
The main issue with it is that it depends not only on the charging speed, which varies with the battery charge level, temperate and a number of other factors, but also the efficiency of the car which varies with model, tyres and most of all driving technique. 1000 MPH is the most optimistic figure, if you drive the car hard it will be lower.
Doesn't it concern you that the government can just say "national security concerns" and ban pretty much anything? Even if it's not a ban on private business use, businesses are going to heed that message, especially if they want government contracts.
Ping is right, if there is no oversight or evidence required then the government is out of control and the normal system of checks and balances has failed.
One run by the Internet Research Agency out of St. Petersberg during office hours, acting in unison with the other 99 accounts being run from the same room.
There are no transparent, open and reasonable criteria from Facebook on what various transgressions constitute "policy violation", they are all arbitrary and whimsical and depend heavily on third party reporting.
Indeed, and Facebook makes very minimal effort to even follow up reports from third parties.
The main advantage is that they can charge more cars simultaneously. Many people don't realize, when they see 8 Tesla chargers they can't all deliver max power. Pairs of them share 130kW at the moment.
Again, Wonder Woman or the recent Star Wars movies. Billions of dollars, women in lead roles. At the very least not doing any worse than male lead films.
Having said that I don't see it as being vital like some people do. Consider that in a car with 400km range it saves you about 25 minutes over an 8-9 hour 800km drive. For some people that's useful, for me other things about the car are more important.
The latest chargers installed in Europe are 350kW, with 500kW rollout beginning.
The main issue is that most cars can't take high enough voltage to make it practical. The Audi eTron will be the first to hit 350kW most likely, at 800V.
It will be interesting to see what Tesla to to get their charging up to 250kW given the lower voltage of the battery packs.
Stack Exchange has a nice system where if it notices you are systematically modding a certain person it undoes all your moderation and hammers your rep down. Slashdot could do with something similar.
Perhaps, although it would be fairly easy to compare like-for-like, e.g. users with a certain GPU with or without a 144Hz monitor.
I'm skeptical though because there is great variance between 144Hz monitors. The Amazon special ones have so much ghosting that the frame rate is unlikely to help much. There is no real way for Nvidia to measure monitor response times and control for them.
It's ironic how the people who complain the most about any effort to examine or quantify the gender wage gap, are also the first to demand it gets fixed when men are on the losing end.
Can we at least agree that it's a good thing that feminists pushed for it to be examined, now that it is helping men at Google?
His list of stories does not resemble the actual stories posted. They resemble a victim narrative interpretation where everything is a personal attack.
They never sent stuff like a list of fonts, but the list can be gleaned via CSS. Simply create hidden CSS elements with every known font in use and then query them to see if that actual font was used. The browser will even helpfully not load the actual font because it can see that the element is hidden, to avoid your code grinding the computer to a halt.
Screen resolution is the same. Even if they disable the direct JS query people would just make a bunch of CSS rules for different sizes and see which one is applied.
The ability of CSS to adapt to things like screen size is generally a good thing, the problem is that Javascript can then figure out what it did. Blocking that is possible but will cause breakage, so it needs a major browser like Firefox to do it slowly and push web developers to fix the issues. If they do it quickly with massive breakage then users will complain.
Indeed, splitting funds into multiple accounts and mixing them around is a common way to launder them, as it becomes harder to track the funds. There are even exchanges that offer to do it for you.
There's never pressure to get more women in to menial or low paying jobs
In fact the whole women's equality movement really got moving when women started doing factory work during the first world war. Low paid, lower than the men in fact, dirty and dangerous. But very welcome.
These days examples would include sports, plumbing, the armed forces...
There's also no pressure to get more men to win custody battles
There is. Getting equality for fathers, such as equal access to parental leave, is all part of an effort to get men to participate equally in child rearing. That in turn helps courts see fathers are equal to mothers, as loving parents with an equal entitlement to access, and that the relationship between father and child is equally important.
Another example would be the push to recognize domestic violence towards men. Unfortunately it's still the butt of many jokes or simply not believed when presented to law enforcement and courts.
Note that the issue here is not diversity, it's that they were making a TV programme about women in tech and the issues they face, asked women to collaborate and help make the show, and it somehow ended as mostly one guy talking about it.
The issue is not his gender or race or anything like that, it's not even the guy himself - it's that women made something about women, but instead of letting women talk about issues that directly affect them and that they are directly involved in resolving, they went with this guy. Why can't women speak for themselves about things they have first hand experience of?
Maybe try not reading every story as a personal attack?
Also please try to understand what patriarchy is. Men are sometimes disadvantaged by the legal system due to their gender, but that's because in a patriarchy women are seen as the more "natural" parents and toxic ideas about masculinity, that men are less suitable parents and less loving, are all part it.
By addressing this the system will get fairer for everyone, including men.

Hay, I never said they were competent.
Why would they bother? It's their platform, they can ban anyone they like for any or no reason. Generic "TOS violation" has been a thing forever.

Most single-user machines don't have a separate admin account.
This hasn't been true since 2006 when Windows Vista came out, 13 years ago.
With Vista the default user account became a non-admin one. Vista also introduced new system accounts that you can't log in to.
On top of that you have UAC, which means that even with an admin account certain actions require extra confirmation from the user.
So yeah, privilege escalation on a single user Windows machine is pretty severe. Does MacOS really not have this kind of security model?

It's quite impressive, yes.

Wow. We actually agree on something. Shame it had to be that.
Perhaps, although it would be fairly easy to compare like-for-like, e.g. users with a certain GPU with or without a 144Hz monitor.
I'm skeptical though because there is great variance between 144Hz monitors. The Amazon special ones have so much ghosting that the frame rate is unlikely to help much. There is no real way for Nvidia to measure monitor response times and control for them.
Ratings are all studios care about, though.
Yes, I'm saying that actually stuff with women in prominent roles actually does do well financially.
Okay, so why is my post trolling? I'm saying its a bad thing that they suck and you seem to agree.

Thanks for capitalizing my name right. A lot of ACs don't bother.

That really helps them uniquely identify you, because you are the only one surfing the web on an Atari 800.
What you need is an add-on that randomly changes the browser ID string every few minutes. Use a common but randomly selected one.
