And scrawny little Spiderman can go, and has gone, go toe-to-toe with the Hulk.If you're enhanced, you're enhanced, and all of your preconceptions about plausibility and capabilities (both male and female) get tossed out the window.
And what the SJW "culture" is saying that from a legal, moral, and societal standpoint, men and woman are in fact equal and should be treated as such. The fact that you as a male *might* be physically stronger than most women has no bearing on that, any more so than the fact that most women are probably smarter than you.
You seem to be conflating legal "equality" with equivalent physical "capabilities", and the two are totally different things.
I run Mission Control on a Mac laptop and it's anything but useless.
I've got a dozen virtual windows (spaces) running about 16 apps at the moment, with one of those apps (Safari) running about 18 browser windows. Mail, Messages, Slack, Safari, Xcode, Chrome, Calendars, Simulators, Zeplin, iTunes, Fabric, multiple Terminal windows... all work just fine.
And this is just a late 2013 15" Retina with quad-core i7, 16GB RAM, and 1TB SSD, albeit one connected to a 34" ultrawide monitor.
Out of curiosity, what other computer platform just puts "CPUs on cards" such that you can install just as many (2, 4, 10) as needed? Even blade servers put basically the entire CPU plus RAM plus IO on a system board.
You've seen, of course, the real-time 4K video editing/rendering apps on the iPad. Or how the A12 chip on the iPad Pro benchmarks 85% faster than all of the laptops on the market today.
As mentioned above, I can't wait to see what Apple's A-series chips can do when not limited by a phone or tablet's power budget and thermal constraints. And especially when they do move the A-series they'll probably move over the Neural Engine dedicated AI processors along with it. A 32-core Ax Bionic chip should scream. 20 trillion neural ops a second, anyone?
Heck, Apple's already shipping quantities using a 7nm process when Intel can't even get their 10nm Sunny Cove chips out the door.
"If my tablet folded and I could carry it around in my pocket instead of my phone... that's a good thing."
It’s over twice the thickness as a standard phone, as you’ll notice late in Samsung's video that the hinge side doesn’t fold completely flat. Guess that’s the only way to avoid a crease in the screen.
Trying to pocket it will be interesting, and there's no way I'd ever put it into a back pocket where sitting down could put significant pressure on that hinge.
I need to see it in person, as from the video it appears to be big, heavy, and fat.

"So, I continue to draw my little, silly line in the sand and boycott Apple products while trying to buy as little as possible from Foxconn."
"I also realize that Foxconn, because of their privileged relationship with Apple, do the best at making sure their workers are treated fairly...."
These two statements don't make sense. You're boycotting Apple, the one company that's seems to be doing its level best to ensure that workers in its entire supply chain are being treated fairly and welll?
"Misunderstanding that by doing this you are giving Google/Facebook/Yahoo access to your data on that site (you aren't)"
The flip side -- and the problem -- with this is that nine times out of ten the site in question wants access to your personal information as well as a complete list of your friends. Refuse, and the site won't grant access.
So the site in question gets all of my Facebook/Google data, and Facebook/Google now know of your interests in X and (quite likely) can track you across that site using "like" button cookies.
OpenID would be great if there was a way to have an account somewhere that was limited solely to identification and whose provider wasn't snarfing all of your personal data. And, not to mention, was a big enough player in the space that most web sites would actually implement it.
"Collectively, you will overburden the healthcare system."
We have a "concern" to that effect from a single doctor who hasn't been anywhere near the device in question. In fact, the software that does the heart analysis and ECG won't even ship with the product on launch, but will arrive later.
And yet there's "concern" that some as yet unknown number of "false positives" could overwhelm the health care system. As opposed to potentially reducing the number of emergency room visits due to heart attacks, the number of heart surgeries required due to late treatment of symptoms, and even deaths.
On the flip side, the head of the American Heart Association was on stage during the introduction, thrilled with the announcement and the advantages it would provide.
Let's see... head of the American Heart Association... some unknown doc from Kentucky... head of the American Heart Association... some unknown doc from Kentucky... hmmm.
I don't want to ask why people are so clueless... but why are people so clueless?
Faster chips mean that processors can do more work... or do the same amount of work in less time. Accomplishing X in half the time means the processor is running at speed half the time, which dramatically reduces the amount of power needed to accomplish the task, which in turn improves battery life.
Which, in your case, means you can spend more time trolling Facebook and news sites.
The drop should been around 15% or so. While somewhat significant, capturing the remain 85% is still better than capturing 0% and pulling that power in from elsewhere.
"...water vapor responds to and amplifies effects of the other greenhouse gases. The Clausius–Clapeyron relation establishes that more water vapor will be present per unit volume at elevated temperatures. This and other basic principles indicate that warming associated with increased concentrations of the other greenhouse gases also will increase the concentration of water vapor. Because water vapor is a greenhouse gas, this results in further warming and so is a "positive feedback" that amplifies the original warming."
Or to put it into smaller words: More CO2 > more warming > more evaporation > more warming. Rinse, and repeat as needed.
They may make only 35% of all the "income", but top 5% also own roughly 70% of the total wealth, so that distribution seems somewhat equitable to me.
And just for the record, the remaining 95% also pay taxes: federal, state, and local taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, excise taxes, social security taxes, and so on. And for that 95%, those taxes often make up a much, much larger percentage of their available disposable income.
Issue / roadblock / tomAto/tomAHto. It's people like you who love to bring up "issues" and "problems", believing that they're somehow smarter than most of the people already working on the problem.
"At 35-40 MPH I had no time to react." "... and they probably won't work well because they weren't tested up here extensively."
So... at worse it would do exactly what you did and plow into the deer?
Further, I have an Outback with Eyesight, and you're definitely supposed to be paying attention to the environment. In fact, you should be able to pay even MORE attention to the environment around you, as you're not constantly micromanaging speed and distance to the preceding vehicle.
Assuming that everyone else shares your preferences is what's not grounded in reality.
Anecdotal, but my stepson would LOVE autonomous vehicle ridesharing. Especially if it meant he never had to buy a car and never, ever had to learn to drive it.
He can drive, but he hates it. (You might notice that driver license registrations are down in the 16-20 age group nationwide.)
That most be why I just paid $120 for oil change and service, $1,100 for new tires, and $600 to replace a broken windshield. And paid $200 for parking at work, and just filled up my tank of gas ($45), and just sent $400 to my insurance agent.

GeekBench says otherwise.

Yeah, that's why the A12 chip on the iPad Pro benchmarks 85% faster than all of the laptops on the market today.

Personally, I can't wait to see what Apple's A-series chips can do when not limited by a phone or tablets power and thermal constraints.

A trim-fold with that technology would be a brick, almost 4x the thickness of a modern slab phone.
I need to see it in person, as from the video it appears to be big, heavy, and fat.

Be interesting trying to pocket this thing.

True. One should also keep in mind that this is given an iPad's power and thermal budget.
Be extremely interesting to see how fast the thing can go with a laptop's power budget and cooling capacity.

Darn. Forgot to mention the $500 I just paid for plates and registration.
That most be why I just paid $120 for oil change and service, $1,100 for new tires, and $600 to replace a broken windshield. And paid $200 for parking at work, and just filled up my tank of gas ($45), and just sent $400 to my insurance agent.
Yep. Modern vehicles are cheap to operate...
