Probably because gas stations and EV chargers have very different logistics and modalities. For example, you could realistically put an electrical outlet by every parking space, but doing that with gas pumps would be completely untenable.

I feel like our impressions might be slightly thrown off by the fact that the two numbers are percentages. It's a difference of 0.4 percentage points, but that works out to a 4.2% increase in mortality, which seems a bit more substanti

I don't know how you could possibly get that from "I'm so tired of the constant drone of comments suggesting self-sabotage as a would-be dark pattern." What I'm saying is that without a lot more development, there&#

I'll go on the record that I downvoted because I'm so tired of the constant drone of comments suggesting self-sabotage as a would-be dark pattern. If someone actually put a lot of effort into developing the idea, that might be int

I don't see how "they sold a lot a year ago" and "membership is up YOY" is meant to dispute the idea that engineering talent is leaving. I agree we don't have enough evidence to say for sure, but those figures

This is actually addressed in the OP: > Male game devs deal with it too. Gamers don’t seem to believe expertise exists. But it’s not the constant deluge it is for women. Which was the point of the tweets that Peter made that got him fir

Sure, it happens to men as well, albeit less often. That doesn't make it any less irritating for women. And remember, the other person who got fired was a male colleague who simply pointed out that he didn't have to deal with that

No, she didn't. She said that a semi-important member of the community was not an experienced video game writer, which is accurate as far as I can tell. She also said that this was an example of the trend of people who aren't expe

Yes, I still think she didn't say anything offensive or harmful. All she did is express frustration at the way people interact with her. She didn't call for anyone to be fired, she didn't talk about how such-and-such people a

It sounds like the ArenaNet community is happy that talking about one's experience as a female developer is punished more harshly than being openly racist. That seems … un-good. I wouldn't be patting them on the back for that.

How could you see it as anything but a gender issue? Expressing frustration at the way female devs are treated is what they got fired for. What do you reckon it's actually about if not gender? Checkers? Ethics in gaming journalism?

She wasn't speaking as a representative of the company there. I don't see how you could possibly construe it that way. Here's what she said: > Today in being a female game dev: "Allow me--a person who does not work w

Your position here seems to be opposed to anyone who works for a company having any kind of free speech. Please consider whether this is a position that is maximally good for society. She didn't say anything offensive or harmful, just

I think this is more a matter of measuring. Most classics lists have a similar bias. It's hard to confidently say something is a classic except with the benefit of hindsight. In 10 years, it will probably be the 2020s that have anomalo

IIRC the T. Rex was mostly CG but they had a real animatronic head and I think a foot for when it was interacting with things. (This is based on my recollection of the 10000 making-ofs I watched at the time.)

Part of the problem here is that we don't have a very good range of views represented in our political parties. The Republicans actually have a pretty diverse mix of traditional conservatives, neoconservatives and libertarians. The Dem
