Depends on the brand still. Honda for example only does that to the top tier touring trims because it's part of their remote-remote start offering for that trim (that you have to subscribe to)
Efficiency means minimizing the use of the costliest components. It's installing fault points into a system on purpose.
Robust systems minimize fault points. Efficient systems come at the cost of robustness, and vice versa given a fixed definition of what is being conserved, i.e. costs or energy.
For example, a four cylinder engine that gets 15mpg will have a longer life than one that gets 30mpg, given the same cost.
The consensus at the very large IT provider I work for, amongst the staff, is that India is a good bet for a script running operations team, but poor on ingenuity, innovation, and creative problem solving. The best Indian talent are as good as anyone, but the average talent level is far lower than American, Asian or European.
I worked on a team that had a bunch of folks from India who had been escalation engineers for big software companies. They were awesome—- at restoring services. Terrible at building or sustaining. Probably because they were trained well at troubleshooting and repair.
Another team I was on probably consisted of the smartest people I’ve ever met, period. All Indian, but from a pure university edu path and never worked in a big outsourcing shop.
Women often eventually discover they want children and are on a tight timeline. Men do too, but they are not on the timeline. They can start families at virtually any time in their life.
By biasing work income towards men it gives women a larger selection of men to choose from to start families with while they are fertile. It also incents them to move sooner rather than work their own career longer to achieve their lifestyle goals, which conflicts with their fertility timeline.
It's sad seeing my older female friends reaching the end of their fertility and realizing they don't want to live lives without children and families, but being at a disadvantage in the relationship market because the men they consider to be at their level are seeking younger women.
"Woke-ism" is looking more and more like the inversion of reality. It is the denial of fundamental realities in the service of highly questionable ideals.
In fact the ideals of "woke-ism" are so questionable that it only survives because they aren't allowed to be questioned.
They are questioned (often in bad faith) in almost literally every thread in here. Also reddit is full of this.
Being woke means being aware of prejudice, etc. What ideals are questionable to you and can you provide an overview as to why?
Also, please don't consider this an attack on you specifically, but I'm tired of seeing "I want to say something but I will only insinuate very vaguely and mention how this topic is censored". You can find real discussion of pretty much every social issue on here, nobody will "cancel" you.
