You and everyone else in this thread are and have been begging the question. Enrollment and graduation statistics do not in any way prove that men are being systematically disadvantaged. If you would like to show me some proof that young men are being disadvantaged in higher education, please do.
If he was refering to the fact that girls now have substantial advantage over boys (over 20% advantage throughout elementary, middle, and high school) and at college entrance
Women have this "advantage" because on average, women need more education to achieve the same level of success as in the workplace than men. The disparity of numbers in education is caused by inequity in the workforce.
There is nothing that comes close to it in Linux. I went so far as to run it under WINE once when I was playing with my own Android kernel and wanted to compare sources.
the crucial difference is you can still get things built in Texas.
California gets a higher percentage of it's energy from solar than any other state, by at least an order of magnitude, and more solar capacity is being built right now in California than in any other state, by far.
If Texas, which has a huge amount of prime solar real estate can catch up, more power to them, but to say nothing can be built in CA is not paying attention to the reality on the ground.
The Navy went for F-18s because it combined good fighting with better all-around capabilities (distance and payload capacities).
I've read that the Navy went with the F-18 over the F-16 for political reasons - the Air Force already used the F-16 and they wanted their "own" plane.
I wish I could find the article. I don't know how much truth there was too it, but it was interesting.
- Agriculture uses 39% of the water vs. 11% for residential use
It's actually 80% Ag use if you don't count the deceptive "Environmental" use number.
When counting water use, if you only count developed water, that is, water that is captured from the environment for human use, agriculture uses 80% of that water.
The 51% percent "used" is actually water that is not captured at all. So, for example, any river water allowed to flow into the ocean is "used" for environmental purposes. Of course, we could capture most of that water too, but entire ecosystems would be destroyed in the process.
This 40% number is frequently pushed by Ag interests to make their impact on the water system seem smaller than it really is.
Population growth has next to nothing to do with California's water crisis. Agriculture uses 80% of California's developed water. California's water problem lies in the vast expanse of perennial cash crops between the Grapevine and Stockton.
The smart approach is for agricultural production to be curtailed during these droughts so that water can be allocated to much more economically productive urban and industrial use.
Desalinization would make sense if there were no better option, but there is.
I don't have the inclination to provide data for everything (s)he said, but I have personal experience with charging efficiency and this study coincides with it...
* 80%-90+% efficiency when charging at a rate higher than 2kW (L2/240V) depending on rate of charge and climate.
70%-85% efficiency when charging below 2kW (L1/120V charging)
My Chevy Volt has 10.7 kWh usable battery and based on OnStar data it takes roughly 12-13kWh to recharge. That's 82-89% efficiency, which perfectly matches the study's findings. Unfortunately the Volt only charges at a maximum rate of 3.3kW. A 6.6kW charger would get efficiency well into the 90s.
You pretty much need to be near the metro areas of CA or be willing to drive there. I live in central CA and ended up driving down to L.A. to buy my Volt as the demand for hydrids and EVs in Redneckistan, CA is pretty low.
Not worth it yet next to my $15k one year old used Ford Taurus
If we are comparing used, you can get a used electric car with plenty of battery warranty right now for the same price range. Due to state and federal tax rebates, they depreciate more quickly than ICE cars when you first drive them off the lot.
I recently purchased a Volt which, of course, has OnStar. Through the OnStar web/app interface you can monitor various things, including charging, tire pressure and charge state/fuel level and perform things like remote starts, and door locks/unlocks.
After about 8 months of dealing with the horrendously unreliable OnStar website and the OnStar app, I would say us GM car owners are probably boned.
BTW, even non-4G OnStar connected cars are still connected to the Internet. It's just through Verizons slower CDMA network.
In the summary there was no proof of a password being stored in clear text. It described the password being emailed in clear text.
Sending a clear text password for 'recovery' tells me that you didn't even bother to hash it
No, it doesn't. If the password was generated/reset and emailed at the same time it could easily be sent in clear text and hashed properly in whatever system it is used on.
I own a Volt and love my Volt, but you are right. The ICE makes the car much more complicated that it would be if it were a BEV.
But 100 miles is still not enough.
I have a 78 mile round trip commute (live in a rural area) and am able to charge at work in a shop, but sometimes the welding plug I used is being used or the bay is taken up by a tractor or truck being worked on.
When I was shopping to replace my 10 year old Sonata, I loved the idea of an electric car, but the current gen of affordable EVs with their 80 miles of real world range just weren't nearly enough.
200 miles would definitely be doable for me though.

That was Dre's line.
He's not really worth 10 billion dollars. He has a long history of lying about his wealth.
He is what he is because of who his father was.
I'll take that as a compliment.
No. I favor their rights being forcefully taken away by the government.

It won't be the government that pushes people towards autonomous cars. It will be insurance companies.

Because of the low value of the data that the password grants access to, lax handling of the password is acceptable.
Now if the password granted you access to everyone's college transcript or job application, then how it was handled would certainly be important.
Different types of data have differing security requirements.
caught fire three weeks later in the test center parking lot
There was and is no "battery fire issue".
Internal combustion engine cars catch on fire at a much higher rate than EVs do.
