And THAT is the problem with the people hijacking feminism for their misguided man-hatred.
Identifying trends is GOOD! It enables us to tailor processes, in this case education, to those who want them, rather than pushing people into them that actually don't want to.
A trend does not exclude the minorities that go against it. That is another step that needs to be taken that can be addressed on a per situation basis.
YOU, on the other hand, are an oppressor. You oppress fact (and we don't take too kindly to that around here) and you try to press women and men into a, granted new, mold. "Women must do everything men do" is just as bad as "Women can't do what men do."
You sure? For how long? Until someone thinks otherwise?
Considering it's become problematic for a father who's taking his kids to a playground to take a photo of them playing nowadays, I'm not so sure your common sense is applicable nowadays.
Sure, the first thought most people have, consciously or subconsciously, is "Would my parents have kept me if they'd had this option?" and the whole concept thus makes us very uncomfortable...
However, looking at humanity as a whole and taking into account that we pretty much switched natural selection off... can we actually afford not to do this?
I mean, billions of sperm and thousands of eggs never get to be a fertilized anything. Of the fertilized eggs, about a third or so actually manage to become a clump of cells trying to become an embryo and of the actual embryos, quite a few never make it any further. Choosing them for looks isn't very ethical, seeing as look are very much dependent on the current fashion, but physical fitness and intelligence aren't quite the same thing. Seeing as most 'potential' human beings never make it, I don't quite share the moral dilemma in choosing the best of the best.
Raising not only humanities average intelligence but much more importantly the lower end seems a phenomenal gain to me.
They are still using the same highways as everybody else, but now they have their own on and off ramp. Nothing more, nothing less.
I am actually not quite sure that this is a bad thing here... If you live in the suburbs, obviously you will have to cross quite a few intersections with traffic lights, before you get to you closest highway access. In my opinion, this is pretty normal. If you don't want to deal with it, you move closer to the highway access. Netflix just paid money to have the highway access brought to them. Nothing wrong there. The fact that all the traffic lights are overloaded is not Netflix' problem. That is something between the municipality and the residents, so to speak.
Moving the device into a lab where he doesn't have any authority would solve that issue nicely, wouldn't it?
I mean, if this device can deliver 1.5 MW over a long enough time that would mean he can, as he claims, produce the energy through the fuel that is provided or another source must be in it... which would still be an awesome invention. Or do you know a tabletop battery that can deliver 1.5MW consistently?
Heck, even if he was able to "beam" the power in (which I'm sure the scientists checking the device would have picked up on)... 1.5 freaking MW.
I went from a Galaxy Note 2 to a HTC One Max. And then I went and put an Otterbox around the thing.
I carry it in my front pants pocket. It snags not more than any other rectangular deice (because it's always the corner that gets snagged by a fold) and I can actually use it to browse the web without unusable mobile versions of websites and without pinchzooming like a deranged person.
I don't have to carry a second device, either, that needs a daily recharge... I could have been talked into carrying a phone and actual tablet if, and only if, there was a Nokia 6210, with nothing more than phone, sms, contact list, 3G/4G and Wifi Hotspot/Tethering capabilities. But such a thing does not exist, at least not at a price that would make you better off buying a smartphone all the same.
I love the size... finally it doesn't feel like I have to pinch a teensy, tiny device between my not even that enormous fingers and be afraid of it slipping away. That's why I dig the Otterbox too, by the way. The HTC is so thin, I was constantly afraid of inadvertently flicking it through the room.
YMMV, but I love these things to death. If I could have had the HTC with full metal body and twice as thick (and therefore with a battery in the 6Ah range), I would have bought that instead.
Single points of failure aren't that much of a factor in virtual machines. If the hardware goes down, the VM is restarted elsewhere. If the machine dies, you copy it from backup... or have a copy on standby (which can be and often is the same thing). After all, there aren't many changes on a worker machine like that.
Not to forget, nothing stops you from clustering that shit from Microsoft's to Amazon's cloud.
Considering that I've never found TPB to be down when I needed it and haven't heard many complaints in that direction, I'd say their system works pretty well for them.
How is the product relevant? Isn't it more about location? If you build a gigantic factory building, you can put all kinds of things on the roof. If you built in a location that has sun, wind and geothermal capabilities, how would your product influence whether you could go renewable?
Isn't it still about whether you can get your investment back and in what time-frame?
So that's 16k diapers for twins... well, we guesstimated 10k. The thought of carrying that many diapers up to the third floor and then back down fully 'charged' convinced us to use cloth diapers.
Now we just polute the rivers with the laundry detergent:p.
Woman: "I'd like to fuck your brains out". Society: "Isn't she forward... a bit of a whore, eh?"
Scenario 2:
Man: "I'd like to fuck your brains out". Society: "Men... penile brain override activated."
Like that?
How's about we take these things with a bit of humor. Nobody who counts actually believes these stereotypes. Sure, even I am surprised to see a skilled IT pro that is female, because they're so rare, but that doesn't mean I expect women to be unable to be just that.
Can't we just stop being sensitive ballsacks about every little bit of political incorrectness?
As I understood it with my very limited knowledge of physics, there are perceivable phenomena that did not quite make sense because it was an either/or situation.
In that case, Occam's Razor makes way for Sherlock Holmes' "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth."
A model that allows for more of the perceived phenomena than previous models must be taken under more scrutiny.
The problem is not their method or whether they publish it. I believe their methods are quite sound.
The real problem is two-fold: First, weather is an extremely complex process. I doubt that we understand enough of it to reliably predict what's going to happen if one or more factors change. Second, as was said before, the data they have to work with is very young. And what they use to 'create' older data might or might not be very accurate.
I don't quite believe that we are able to say without a doubt whether this change we are seeing now is unnatural.
That said, prudence suggests that we limit our consumption and production of waste of any kind to a tolerable minimum. Even if climate change were not caused by us, that doesn't mean that we're not running out of resources.
I have lost 23 kilos. I know how it works. But at the time, I've had no job. I was sleeping whenever and as long as I wanted, on most days I didn't have to be anywhere.
Then I found another job. 10kg returned in no time.
I'm telling you, what makes me fat is job induced stress and there is just no way getting around that, unless I want to get out of IT (which, in turn, would bring a lot of anxiety with it).
Obviously, I am once again an exception. I take the bike to work and I do it most of the week during spring, summer and fall. I have 30+ minutes of exposure to light in the morning. I'm still a fat fuck. That despite balanced meals, carbohydrate consciousness and aforementioned 3 to six hours of physical exercise per week.

I think your car analogy doesn't quite fit.

Oooh, sorry. Have to correct myself. 1.5MWh over a month. Still impressive, but much easier to cheat than 1.5 MW sustained power delivery.
Sorry about that.

I'd mod you up if I had points and you weren't already at 5.
Hell, a billboard's sole purpose is to garner your attention but interestingly enough, nobody seems to care about those.

This is security through obscurity, until the arm sends his serial number over bluetooth or something.
I history has taught us anything, then that it's impossible to change a made up mind through the use of force.
Oh you mean as in:
Scenario 1:
Woman: "I'd like to fuck your brains out".
Society: "Isn't she forward... a bit of a whore, eh?"
Scenario 2:
Man: "I'd like to fuck your brains out".
Society: "Men... penile brain override activated."

Why don't Google and Tesla cooperate? Both are very innovative companies that have, more or less, similar attitudes, I think.
Also, wouldn't an all electric car fit the futuristic idea of a self-driving vehicle much better than a gas guzzler?

So it's gonna hit stores earlier than G-Sync?
Yeah, I'm a bit frustrated... does it show? ;)
According to a technical sheet I just googled, this BMW has a 18.8 kWh battery... so those 10 kWh are more than half a "tank".
Considering that solar panels aren't high maintenance (I believe?), one could argue that it's a step in a good direction.
How does that make sense? The soccer players are all lean muscle. How is that not better for survival than pure fat?
I think humanity as a whole just got dumber. You are one powerful motherfucker...

So frankly, fuck all those weight 'scientists'.
