The show also followed several decades of demonization of the changes that happened in the 60s. I sometimes think of Mad Men as making the point that the 60s happened for (good) reasons.
In CA at least, there is a large gap:
Despite those changes and others, the proportion of freshmen from underrepresented racial groups, including Blacks, Latinos and women, attending the UC campuses, averaged 20% before Prop 209, then dropped to 15% in 1998, then slowly increased over the next 20 years, reaching a peak of 37% in 2016, according to the system. However, the percentage of underrepresented students graduating from high school had doubled to over 56% by 2016.

Glad to see the proposed minimum charging capability of 150kW or higher. Too many "fast DC" chargers are only 50kW, well below the maximum that most current EVs can take. And there are some innovative charging platforms out there that incorporate batteries to get the charge rate up even when the local electric infrastructure is weak.
The stat compares the crash rate per miles driven of drivers who have a Tesla and another car, finding a lower crash rate when the same person is driving the Tesla versus their other car (on average).
For one, the longtime top editor and editorial visionary Chris Anderson left in 2012 and there has been a bit of a revolving door for top leadership since then.

What the headline says: Electric vehicles may not be the climate answer after all.
What the story actually says: Hydrogen, for example, could outperform batteries for efficiency when it comes to heavy goods vehicles and long-haul buses. Synthetic fuels may well continue to provide the drama, noise and excitement that make sports cars so special.
Coca Cola sold Columbia Pictures to Sony and Rupert Murdoch bought 20th Century Fox in the 1980s, General Electric got Universal Studios 20 years ago, sold it to Comcast, Stephen Spielberg sold Dreamworks to Sumner Redstone, who had taken Paramount off Gulf+Western, but sure NETFLIX brought a "ruthless new culture" to Hollywood.
One of the newsletters everyone points to when discussing this trend, Ben Thompson's Stratechery, now includes an audio podcast version of each day's written post read by Ben.
Before the next wave of Internet-from-space companies fly by, I'm going to delve in to the last great bubble. John Bloom's "Eccentric Orbits," mainly about the life and death and rebirth of Iridium–but also covering all of that company's even less successful peers–came out in 2016, but somehow I missed it until now. Lots of awards.
Love the all-black Aer Fit Pack, which they've since updated to the Fit 2 https://www.aersf.com/fit-pack-2-black. Lots of room, super durable and did I mention all black?
Don't forget to scroll down to the end of the article. Spoiler alert: they fixed it. "A firmware update was released earlier this week that fixes this issue, just two weeks after we disclosed it to them privately. Good job Ring!"
