They dont charge 0,20 €/W at charging stations, rather 0,60 €/W...

It’s already more expensive than gas per 100km. Not sure which one is bound to rise more.

But if it makes gas demands decline, it might lower gas prices. And then wait for electricity taxes to be upped again…

Eta : Care to explain the downvotes? This is not the sciencesub where they downvote any thought other than the published link.

FYI they charge 50-70ct /W at charging stations, at least in France, contrary to the one you upvoted is saying.
Let's say 60ct, for 20kWh per 100km
making it 12€/100km. Did you at least notice this article is about charging stations, not charging at home?

Gas (sp95/sp98) should be
around 10€/100km, but more economic exist.

Other than that I wondered about price evolution, I guess can't ask questions here either.
Another great sub.

Jeez. For two weeks I wrote. If you get diagnosed with cancer, tomatoes aren't exactly essential.

If you can't leave tomatoes aside, you are the one obsessed with sugar. Not the one trying to combat cancer. Get a grip yourself.

Yes. This is well known. Often done in Germany and I believe Russia and Canada, but Germany for sure.

Just stop eating both. Both have their issues with cancer.
Stop for two weeks straight including tomatoes, fruits , carbs and the addiction, because that's what it is for the human body, will get over it.
From then on the cravings or general need for sugar will drastically lessen all while being able to enjoy something sugary from time to time.

If not wanting to sacrifice sweetness right now, at least keep this in the back of the head if diagnosed with cancer.
If not wanting to believe cutting out all sugar drastically helps kill the cancer, consider chemo will be much easier on the digestive system in any case. Extreme nausea often causes people wanting to quit treatment...

They've gone so far as to propose diabetics medication in addition to chemo, while the easiest and safest way is to simply cut all sugar and everything that impacts insulin. Artificial sweetners will impact insuline, but that's not the only problem. But that doesn't make anybody rich...

Eta: You prefer to die of cancer then to all downvoters? .You have a powerful opportunity in hand, which is well known and old science, but obscured, because of lack of profit.

Suite yourselves.

This is meant for those who don't have any choice left when getting a cancer diagnosis, and are willing to make a change or two to give themselves the best chance, especially when they receive a non-treatable diagnosis.
I couldn't care less how much sugar or carbs anyone consumes otherwise.

Same here. Not about the voice but the principle.

And so as to go from the article, is that because of some greater affection towards them is or stereotypical negativity because you needed it to be a subordinate and thus a female according to them?

And also, if the best navigation system had only neutral or male voices, would you rather have bought/used an inferior system with a female voice ?

Because that's kind of what they suggest.

I wrote a whole reply to this but frankly the original study being behind paywall this article might not represent it properly, so I scrapped that.

To illustrate "If they owned a gendered technology item, participants felt more attached to the item. Gendered items also led to more negative stereotypical thinking about gender."

What does that even mean?

"The researchers acknowledge that the participants were all from the United States, and it is possible that these results may not apply in all cultures where gendered technology is present".

I sought for this information indeed, because they talked about cars.
A car in french is female, in dutch it's male although one wouldn't know without a dictionary.
In Spanish it is male.
While they specify geographical location, the article doesn't specify native or even secundary language.

A prominent vacuum robot is called Roomba.
The 'a' may suggest it's rather female.

So before going in a whole discussion of gender perception, I'd need to read the premise of the study.
This article to me suggests they started out with some negative suppositions, which could bias the conclusions, and participants speaking other languages may have an influence on their perception of gendered objects as English is one of the very few gender neutral languages.
Although it's rather mothership for exemple, so it exists unofficially for some words.
And while mustang had Boss they also had Shelby, being quite the cool car in several movies, so what does that mean in their affection yet negativity conclusion ?

While in a way one could argue negative publicity is also publicity, just based on this article I'm not convinced there is any link to gender perception of objects and the reason to buy that object or not.

Especially since assistant voices are often a choice on each product rather than having to choose male female or neutral beforehand.

Maybe more gen x? Eta unless they chose a male voice of course, not sure what that would be. Daddy maybe ?

It's just a stereotypical male or female voice. I don't know why they have to bring gender into that.

>Researchers Ashley Martin and Malia Mason assert that 90% of virtual assistants are initially programmed with a binary female gender. This matches the negative stereotype of women as compliant and available to serve.

I don't know but generally a gps 'assistent' pretty much tells the driver what to do, turn left, take the third exit, you made a mistake turn around now.

They are much more orders than compliant words of a submissive assistent.
Also, I don't know of any non-gendered vocal product so imo it's biased by habit.

I choose the voice which annoys me the least, whichever gender that is.
Everything has to be about genders these days it seems. Is gender even the right word here or is it more a stereotypical generalization of a female or male voice, which would mostly be related to the sex, rarely the gender.
Do gender fluid people alter the pitch of their voice when they change genders ?

*eta : Just to be clear, i'm not attacking any gender choice or fluidity thereof of people, but the research and products in general making things about gender, just because the topic is popular right now.
