If you don’t want to accept a present for your child because you think it’s bad then you say that. When a person offers a gift to your child and your immediate response is that you plan on selling it that makes you a dick

Also how is this family both so poor that they need to sell the shoes for groceries but also so selective where they don’t want a practically new pair of popular mainstream shoes

I saw it posted on other social media and did just parrot what I read

But upon further examination I found this quote which is not definitive but they are asserting a very easily disprovable claim which makes me side with the victims as I would assume that the police would try and get the video of the shoplifting out if they had it

“Wiley denied police claims that her friend was shoplifting, and said the purchase of baby diapers was likely caught on camera in the self-checkout. She added she had not been charged by police.”

She wasn’t shoplifting… she had a receipt for the diapers

Then they should be happy that someone else gave a present to their son so they don’t need to buy shoes for them, not talking about selling a present designated for their child…

A paper from around a decade ago talked about using WiFi to identify key strokes so with large data models we have today I would assume they could get pretty good fidelity on a person. Maybe not enough for “beyond a reasonable doubt” but probably enough where your WiFi company is selling your data on what you do at home

To be fair neutrons are usually harder to block. Lead has a tenth thickness of 2” for gammas whereas the smallest tenth thickness for neutrons is around 6” for borated poly and the most common shields are water at 10” and concrete at 14”

So yeah it is different but overall it takes much thicker shields to block neutrons than gammas

We will never be able to have a perfect international language but considering all of the difficulties involved in creating an international that people around the world could speak, sign language that “only” alienates a small percentage of the population would be a huge improvement over the current system

Maybe I am mistaken on e bike ratings but can’t you have a class 3 without a throttle? And isn’t the definition of a class 2 that it does have a throttle?

It requires inference… maybe that’s a bit too complicated for you

Considering your restatement was wrong I am going to assume it’s you

“ How many cars are sold per year in the US compared to Europe?”

It’s a comparison between two places and one sells more than the other. The answer to which one sells more is the US

Wireless charging is inefficient and ends up generating a bunch of heat

Well this is a waste of my time so I will leave you with one final look up. How many cars are sold per year in the US compared to Europe?

Hint the answer is the US

Imagine you owned a store, what seems better, having 40 customers come in and all of them buy or having 80 people come in and all use up time with a salesman and then only 45 people purchase. You would end up spending a much more significant amount of the sales revenue on the larger showroom and more staff. This isn’t my opinion this is why the American market has been prioritized, that and the fact that Americans spend more on cars per year

California has different emissions requirements (not safety) but since they are a strict upgrade to the rest of the US (and comparable to other int markets) as long as you follow their requirements all cars in the US can be sold without any contradictory requirements

A very common kpi used is to examine the success of a campaign in a per target demographic so having the much lower response rate is worse

If you are making an ad campaign, all of the US speaks the same language, generally has the same safety regulations, and a much larger percent of the people are your target ad personnel

The EU is a cohesive unit for regulations but speak many different language and once you branch out of the EU to all of Europe you can see why there are huge advantages to advertising in the US.

So no it’s not the absolute number that matters

There are around 290m cars in the us for the 330m people

There are around 420m cars in Europe for the 730m people

So while the actual amount of cars in all of Europe is more than the US the percent car ownership in a single country is insane

Because the people with the money also control the physical goods, how are you going to acquire food and shelter without money? and then while you may accept small amounts of bartering you will need some amount of money to continue purchasing food and shelter

But not everyone agrees on which colors go together and which clash

They would melt, but we do also have gamma voltaics which can use the gamma radiation from fission and fusion to generate electricity they just have an atrocious efficiency

Supercritical CO2 has been looked at a lot for the Brayton cycle which can get 50% efficiency compared to steam that generally caps out around 34%

The US and china both published studies talking about a brayton turbine but to my knowledge no commercial plants running off of it have been built yet

Sports players have a chance to give a message to a very large group of people. More people will see this then if an Iranian member of parliament makes a protest and Iran has condemned the attack numerous times
