We just wrapped what began as an 8-hour challenge - and it ran for 200 hours without a failure Shoutout to the team for the hardcore engineering behind F.03 and the robust Helix models powering it








Japanese women react to news that Tokyo Metropolitan Government offices will allow male employees to wear shorts in summer: •“Middle-aged men, please don’t wear shorts. It’s gross.” •“Middle-aged men in shorts make people uncomfortable.” •“It’s unpleasant.” •“I don’t particularly want to see some middle-aged man’s leg hair.” •“My eyes would go there instead of to the work.” •“It might startle me. I’d probably look twice.” •“This isn’t their house, so I’d wonder what they came here to do.” According to a social psychologist: “Originally, the workplace is understood as a place where people work regardless of gender. But exposing skin - especially showing legs that are not normally exposed, or showing body hair - can cause the other person to be ‘sexualized.’ People may not consciously feel that they are being subjected to a sexual display, and they may not think the person has that intention, but instinctively and intuitively they sense it. That becomes a kind of ‘discomfort’ they themselves cannot explain.”
