One distinction that should be pointed out is that you are talking about upload speeds, not download speeds. People seem to forget that if you're downloading something, the other end is uploading it to you. Download speeds of that caliber do exist in the U.S.
You're right, this could be more cultural than biological, or some mixture. There's definitely something going on. First consider the lack of women in STEM fields combined with the fact that more women than men are going to universities and earning degrees. Women just simply aren't choosing STEM as their choice of study for a career path, whatever the reason might be. 20 years ago a big push started with engaging young girls in education and STEM topics.
If we look more closely at the STEM stuff, there's been a decline of women wanting to get STEM degrees, not more women, in that same 20 year push. Women are largely choosing other areas in STEM.
Maybe it's cultural, maybe it's biological, maybe it's both. The big push that started 20 years ago is an effort to balance out the cultural aspect. Either the efforts, as far as tech go, have horribly failed, or, women have a predisposition against tech.
It's incredibly difficult to get something close to a 50/50 split in an industry, if that's the companies stated goal, when the available pool of candidates just aren't there.
Except you weren't making those points. Your points were, "sexist and misogynist!", even when asked to clarify your stance all you did was double down on "sexist and misogynist!"
This was your opportunity to point out one specific thing at the very least. Instead you wave your hand and say something specifically non-descript so you can weasel your way out of this. It's clear you have zero intent of actually discussing this issue, but are here to regurgitate talking points you were fed by the MSM. You're either a shill or a useful idiot.
More women are going to college and getting degrees then men now. They literally make up more than half of the collegiate population, yet, for whatever reason, they still are opting out of tech for their degrees. Them wanting different things in life is a very spot on observation, especially given this fact that they are out earning men in terms of degrees.
There's a lot of useful idiots, or shills, regurgitating talking points in here. It would be kind of nice if the "HE SAID WOMEN WERE INFERIOR" crew would read the memo, and if they still held that belief, would cite where he said that.
Huh? What he did wasn't embarrassing to his employer! The people who leaked it were out to embarrass Google to get him in trouble. The whole memo stayed inside of Google until then, for a whole fucking month.
assert at least some portion of his female coworkers were unworthy
Nothing coming from Wikileaks has shown to be false in the past ten years, so unless you have something to counter that claim, these emails are most likely 100% true.
And you can notice this all over Slashdot anymore. "It's gotta be Russia!" and "We can't talk about the Project Veritas videos!" I guess we'd rather argue about the color of the drapes while the house is on fire. Otherwise Hillary might look bad, and we can't have that.
Using the "It's gotta be Russia" argument without there being actual proof it was Russia. Next, are you going to tell me 17 intelligence agencies confirm this without that actually being the case?
I'm not sure I'd trust a BGA repair without an xray being done. I realize there's plenty of people who do it without one successfully, but from a quality perspective that doesn't ease my mind at all.
Some of the motor controllers I have to repair at work are made in the EU and cold solder is a huge issue with those due to the lead free solder. I do sometimes see cracked solder joints too. A lot of these controllers are 10+ years old. The whole process to get a board ready for testing takes about 40 minutes. Disassembly, rework, and reassembly for testing. The design is kind of shit, but they're otherwise a solid product functionally if it wasn't for the lead free solder.
As far as BGA's go, fuck that. The ECM's in some of your somewhat older Chrysler vehicles have three of four BGA's on them depending on the version of it, and it's the number one cause for failure on those modules. It's not worth it to even fix it if you're a repair shop as you have to dig out the potting around it, and ensure that you're using enough heat, but not too much heat, to get the BGA off, and hope that there isn't too much potting that seeped between the board and the BGA, holding it down.
Due to reasons you mentioned, the BGA is not something that should be used in modern electronics. Gull wing and J lead parts will typically last longer than a couple years with lead free solder. I realize their foot print is significantly larger, but I'd rather not deal with an expensive piece of electronics that's going to fail so quickly.
And fuck Apple for not being aware of this issue with BGA's. It's quite known to anyone else who has ever dealt with one.
One thing a lot of board houses are doing is using an x-ray machine to look for voids in the solder to help alleviate premature failure. This is even more critical with lead free solder.
Alright, so you do believe in hearsay that hasn't been vetted outside a court of law. You do think poorly of people who have mere accusations lobbied against them. You could have said that instead of spewing all of the other bullshit that came flowing from your finger tips.
I suppose if someone made a false claim against you, you may feel differently, and you probably deserve it so you can be forced to open your eyes and think critically instead of thinking emotionally.
Isn't it supposed to be innocent until proven guilty? What if you were a juror? Would you suddenly find him guilty due to mere allegations without the evidence? Sexual assault is a serious crime that comes with a heavy stigma just for being accused of doing it. Do you really feel comfortable demonizing someone based on "he said, she said" statements? Everyone involved needs to be looked at with a microscope, not just the person being accused.
It's not tinfoil hattery to think the government will use any means necessary to discredit someone. Does it apply here? Who knows, but it's not that far-fetched of an idea.
What you just said has no basis or bearing on what you're responding to. You're using the racism card for the moral high ground when you have no leg to stand on. Had you any reading comprehension skills, you'd see the person you responded to isn't promoting anything you're rallying against.
I've only ever used Glassdoor for companies after I left. At that point I don't give a fuck what my previous employer thinks if I left on bad terms. Most of the names are not burner accounts either, at least from what I can see. I was one of the 600,000 affected by this.
I was one of the people affected by this. You can only see about a thousand emails or so in the sent list. Your chances of this scenario happening are 1 in 600.
Why do you equate the fact that they're sealed to them being more reliable? You can make a reliable device that can also be repaired on an as needed basis.
There are businesses that make money doing exactly this with or without the manufacturer's support. This argument at this point has little to do with the end user at this point as most end users just buy new or send it off somewhere to be fixed. It's more about big business vs small business. The small business in this sense are the places that fix these things. Or imagine if you're a facility that does a lot of testing and one of your pieces of expensive equipment broke and you now can't fix it because a parts manual and a schematic are non-existent? Fixing it yourself would be cheaper.
A lot of this boils down to cost of ownership. Manufacturer's hate lowering the cost of ownership as it means they can't keep selling brand new, which is what their argument ultimately boils down to.
Imagine if cars were this way. They already are starting to to some degree.
Well, I guess I'm not normal, as I tend do both methods depending on the situation. If I'm strapped for time, I go the shortcut route. If I'm not strapped for time, I enjoy the small bit of mental work that it requires, which really isn't all that much.
Maybe. I wonder why they'd sell a license to use their name to the very people they were trying to disassociate themselves from. I'm sure there were some rumblings about the lower quality education, but I can't imagine that being the main reason.

Citation fucking needed.
And yet, he never said the words. He just merely said Howard Stern can say what he wants. What a fucking shocker.

She has never ever done anything wrong or highly illegal, so therefore it's terrible to say bad things about her.

So 110% of water is consumed?
