There is one exception to the foreigner comment though. Blonde / white foreigners usually have an advantage, even over native Japanese people since the Eurocentric beauty standard is much in play there. You can see evidence of this in their modeling industry where high paying modeling gigs go to those who are Caucasian or half Caucasian.

4k 240hz? I don't think HDMI 2.1 even supports that. How can that be? Displayport 2.1 barely supports that
white, woman, rich, prestigious university, prestigious job, photogenic
She will make out just fine
I also like the N-1 strategy for things that are released often. I also like going with the most recent release for things that are released every 3+ years though
Still displayport 1.4
Intel has already moved to 2.0, and AMD is rumored to be supporting displayport 2.0
Would have liked to see this for 40 series, but I guess I will wait to build my first PC
Regarding the Process–architecture–optimization model from intel, what do each of those upgrades mean to the user?
I believe Process has the most to deal with energy efficiency due to the shrinkage, which is why M1 was so energy efficient when it was launched.
M2 seems like an architecture/optimization change, seems like they are just able to cram more stuff which is why it's faster without increasing battery life.
For those familiar with Intel, what does the consumer mainly gain out of optimization product launches?
Right, best would be if rich people adopt poor kids
Waiting is not bad, most child abuse cases come from people who shouldn't have had kids in the first place. The worst case if you wait is that you'll have to adopt kids, which is arguably way more humane than introducing another hungry soul into the world.
Why is it great for remote work? The land is already developed and the undeveloped areas get the sweltering sun of socal without the cooling ocean breeze to balance it out. The "good climate" only lasts for a mile or so from shore from
Are you saying m1 also offers set and forget investments? Seems like folioFn and sharebuilder arent operating anymore
Wealthfront's value is that the unpassionate investor can set and forget it, instead of manually transferring every month
Are you comparing this to fidelity's target date retirement fund?
How do you do this? Isn't max risk like 45% US stock?
Yeah you're saying x dollars instead of y dollars over z amount. It's a trivial calculation but it's really convenient
Do you bank with fidelity to be able to do this?
Anyone know of any other product offer that will take excess after direct deposit and invest it for you?
I've called Fidelity and Betterment and both do not offer an automated way like wealthfront does. Really sad to see wealthfront being the only player in that space.
Edit: by automated I mean something like "everything over $10k after bills, invest". It takes a couple of clicks per month manually, but it's been pretty relieving not having to do that every month.
I think you're on the right track, but hybridized offerings / total offerings isn't the right way to depict this. If you have a car company that sells 10 vehicles per year and only have 1 model, then that would be 100% in your books.
I would look at how many models total that Toyota group offers, which I believe is one of the highest in the industry. Couple this with the fact that they are the biggest car industry in the world, means that they are doing more for the reduction of gasoline burning than most other companies, including EV only companies.
Total USA EV market share is somewhere around 2%, and at best that means 2% of those people replaced their non-hybrid with EVs.
I believe they are planning a mass hybridization of their line-up with each new model that comes out now. The Sienna only comes in hybrid now, and that was released a year ago.
See my other comment in this thread. If all 300k EVs sold in North America were used as the battery source for Hybrids, then there could be an estimated 7900% more reduction in full usage due to the fact that you can make 14 million hybrids with those vehicles.
They have already made an EV in the past in 2014 with the Rav4 EV. They certainly can do it, but they are more concerned about the efficiency of which the world is using battery materials.
I wish everyone can buy a Tesla model 3, but that's not the case right now, maybe with the 25k model coming, but certainly not right now. Toyota offers more hybrids than any other car manufacturer right now, and EV sales only account for 1.8% of the market in the US [1], so environmentally Toyota is right in their effort to reduce carbon emissions through hybridization in addition to their efforts in PHEV, EV, and Hydrogen vehicles.

Aren't they one of the most hybridized car companized out there, offering hybrids from compact car to minivan. Even Ford licenses Toyota's hybrid technology
Toyota is greener than Tesla because it focuses on the impact a world society can make rather than on the individual level.
Luxury EVs like Tesla are consuming too many limited battery resources. There were 300k EVs sold in North America, if these batteries went into hybrids, you could make 14 million hybrids, which would save 7900% more gasoline than the EVs [1].
Not to mention that Toyota is bringing to market 4 types of electrification: Hybrid, Plug in Hybrid, Battery Electric, and Hydrogen Full Cell. Don't get me wrong, Tesla has pushed consumers and automakers in the right direction, similar to what happened in the advent of the Prius.
Also remember that the average car sits idle for 90%+ of the time, and when they are being used, they aren't being used for the full range of the vehicle, which is why a Plug in Hybrid is a great option for those whose commute is less than say 50 miles.
It's slowly shifting to electric vehicles not because it's anti-EV, but because the world's battery supply can be used much more efficiently in reducing the amount of gasoline consumed (79 times at that).

Prius Prime is THE vehicle for people who care more about the environment than electric luxury, which Tesla serves.
You know every company has to comply with regional laws: twitter got banned from that one African country, that doesn't mean twitter is against free speech. Tiktok has to comply with US laws to be able to enter the US market, and it also hires a bunch of US workers.

When do you nap? I'm thinking an hour and a half after finishing lunch would be good since it coincides with the afternoon slump
Put a mirror on top of your monitor so you can easily focus 20 feet away, and to see what's going on behind you
Is elevation what makes it Tsunami-proof? Or was there another way you made it Tsunami-proof?
