Granularity matters. Social feed granularity is small enough that an algorithm, even primitive, can sketch an arbitrary narrative on the spot by juxtaposing unrelated items, akin to a ransom note built from letters cut off from different publications. Pandora and especially GoodReads have large granularity, making it difficult to employ in the same manner.
Very different outcomes I'd say. Are friends and family getting torn apart on those platforms? Do they need armies of moderators to remove abuse material or fact-check posts? (I'm sure there's some, but not on the same scale as Facebook.) This is the first I've ever heard such a thing suggested, and certainly haven't observed it personally.
I had a peak-motorola era moto G - it was fast, up to date, devoid of bloatware, and the camera was of incredible quality for such a cheap phone. the only downside was it was flimsy and met an early death at the hands of my merciless kitchen tile
> "On September 20, 2019, at around 2:30 PM CDT, a man drove a black first generation (2001-2008) Chevrolet TrailBlazer LT through an entrance door of Sears and began driving through the store and into the main concourse of the mall, crashing into kiosks, Clarks, International Diamond Company, and multiple other stores, seemingly targeting Forever 21 and other adjacent stores.[40][41] The driver was taken into custody by responding police near the center of the mall's first level without further incident. The identity of the suspect was not immediately released. No injuries were reported, but the mall was temporarily on lockdown due to the incident as well as concurrent, but unfounded, reports of an active shooter.[42][43] The mall was evacuated about one hour after the incident.[44]
The man, later identified as Javier Garcia of Palatine, Illinois, was charged with terrorism as a result of the incident; he appeared in court on September 29, 2019, and was denied bond. He appeared in court again on October 1, 2019, and was due back in court on January 27, 2020.[45][46][47][48][49] Garcia's family spoke out arguing that Javier is not a terrorist and that he has schizophrenia, though a police investigation shows evidence that Garcia's attack was premeditated, with investigators releasing – in part – that Garcia "searched 'Woodfield mall,' the aerial view of the mall and mall premises 124 times between 9/19/19 at 14:38 and 9/20/19 at 12:55."[50] Garcia has since also been charged with an unrelated arson case from September 8, 2019, in his hometown of Palatine.[51]"
I think that has problems which prohibit it from being implemented. I think a better option to just pass the air through a filter to remove oil particles before the air is used in the cabin.
IIRC it's not particles, but combustion/decomposition products.
And no, it's not an issue with using non-engine air for cabin pressurization taking too much weight/power: even a large airplane needs only little actual airflow.
Is that because Japan is also poorer and presumably most folks have less disposable income? Because my understanding is iPhones are still the #1 or #2 selling phone model in the country.
I know the OECD is supposedly a respected institution, but I love how nonsensical nearly every item on the list here is.
Just comparing these two, they say the US is below the OECD average lifespan while Japan is significantly above. Yet Japan is near the bottom end of the health chart and the US is near the top. Japan and Korea are below Brazil and Mexico in health. I find that... questionable, to say the least.
Also interesting how Japan has one of the lowest violent crime rates in the world (possibly only Singapore is safer), yet Japan is in the middle of the chart and not far above the US. Somehow the UK is considered safer than Japan.
Makes me wonder how exactly they calculate everything. Loads of wonky results there.
your link highlights the trouble with using the mean average :> But there is a considerable gap between the richest and poorest – the top 20% of the population earn nearly nine times as much as the bottom 20%.
The wealth gap in Japan is much narrower. I suppose I would want an iphones-per-capita measure to compare whether our buying habits are similar.
