There are now 60 women graduating for every 40 men who do so (in the US). There has also been huge growth in the number of overall graduates. To find absolute numbers you need to adjust your percentages by these factors. https://

I'm not the GP, but I have a client who uses Lync. We usually have conference calls with three or four people, and someone always has an audio problem. The screen sharing also seems to take a while to sync up. Worse, it silently stops

The 1% for the most part aren't billionaires. Last year in the US, the threshold was just under $285,000. Ignoring professionals, plenty of small business owners can hit that on a lucky year. (And get hammered other years). There ar

I deserved that. My examples understate the real life problem though. This missing factor is that it also costs more shaft time to serve a higher floor with a longer travel distance than it does a lower floor with a shorter travel distance.

The big benefit is that you get more than one elevator per shaft. For skyscrapers the amount of floor space wasted by elevators grows exponentially by the number of floors. Say you have a 5 story building that needs a one shaft elevator. 5

Gawker published a video of someone having sex, that was recorded without their consent. They then refused to take it down when ordered by a Federal judge. That's almost as scummy as it gets. They deserved to loose the court case, and

A 25mpg, single occupancy car going the same Oakland to LA distance would use about 15 gallons of gas. Or about 300 lbs of CO2 (*depends on ethanol content) So a fully occupied PC-12 releases less greenhouse gases per person for the same tr
