Actually, the Passat has urea injection and is implicated as well -- though it didn't exceed emissions by as much as cars without aftertreatment.

And the "couple of engineers" was in reference to the head of engineering and another guy. It wasn't implicating rogue low-level engineers.

Your perspective is one that I share, on the nature of class-based economics in a 'consumer' society such as the modern United States. I'm going to copy/paste a summary that I sent to a former co-worker (CFA Level 3, >$6B AUM) for his thoughts and he felt I did an okay job (made me feel smart).

So demographically, older workers have not saved enough for retirement. That drives them to maintain employment. With a lack of job opportunities (the slack), the youngest generations are presented a significant challenge – with amongst the highest debt levels and least job prospects, the youth cohort entering its first (or prime) earning years can be paired with another observed phenomenon, that of the wealth disparity. As a premise, poor people and young people spend aggressively, wealthy households invest and don’t spend proportionally to their means, and a significant number of older Americans have no retirement savings to speak of, and therefore cannot spend proportional to offset their declining economic contribution. Essentially, this is a perfect recipe to grind an economy to a halt: Wealthy people don’t spend, elderly workers don’t spend, poor people and young people love to spend but can’t without reasonable access to funding.

> A bunch of people immediately ask if I work for Amazon with a hint of disdain after I state my occupation. So it hasn't felt super welcoming so far.

I moved to San Francisco ten years ago with $700 in my pocket, to stay with a relative, who kicked me out pretty soon because, well, having an adult man stay in your guest room when you are accustomed to pre-teen daughters, even if you really direct your misplaced desire for a son at your broke ass nephew, is hard.

I lived for years under the poverty line and basically today, when I meet someone in person, this is exactly my experience.

First, some advice I have a hard time taking: Don't let it get to you.

Second, get involved with your community. When you detect this disdain, tell people (and mean it, and research why you should), that you are concerned about what is happening to the community and that you are rightfully afraid of the things that you admire in the community being driven out.

I'm sorry, software is not eating the world, Marc Andreesen's brain is eating his soul, there can be utility and benefit to what we do, but working folks who use their hands and muscles and mouths for a living in ways we likely can't imagine are rightly upset about being pushed out.

I fucking promise you do not want to be in a city or neighborhood ruled by tech folks. People who moved to SF in the past few years are already facing their rents doubling.

You want to know what it's like to live on a third of the salary you make? Start paying exorbitant rent. [I can hear you saying that you already are, wait until it doubles. My rent is currently 5x the inflated mortgage of the house I grew up in.]

...the real story is one of outrageous wealth extraction from the young to the old without a hint of remorse or self-reflection.

Bingo. More than half of your taxes are directly transferred to retirees. Those debt payments on your school loans are paid back to investors, many of whom are large pension funds and insurance / annuity accounts. The Fed has refused to allow a housing market correction, which is an implicit transfer from young to old. And the main point of Obamacare was to force young people to purchase insurance in order to subsidize the older generation.

But if younger people would just stop going to Starbucks and buying IPhones, they wouldn't have any financial problems.

Of course you can't have a world where everyone becomes a landlord, but that doesn't mean this is a completely invalid form of income generation for some people (that's the benefit of being able to take a nuanced view of advice from others).

It seems like you are being reductive and misleading in characterising his position - First you argue he won't dare talk about rental income, then when examples emerge of him doing so you say that he is exhorting everyone to do it!

In short, yes. Language/subtitle licensing is a mine field. Often times the small local distributors we deal with don't acquire anything but the local language rights, so it becomes almost impossible to go upstream and get the remaining rights even though we may well have the assets for use in other countries.

We are doing what we can to move the ball forward on this issue industry-wide, but historical rights arrangements are working against us here.

I find Seattle to be unwelcoming, personally, but it's not that people aren't friendly when you can get them to talk. It's the pervasive avoidance of eye contact and general desire not to engage with strangers that can make it a lonely place.

This looks very similar to Paul Hammant's "cookie cutter scaling" pattern (http://paulhammant.com/2011/11/29/cookie-cutter-scaling/), which I find equally baffling. Perhaps I've just never encountered the conditions which are favorable to it, but what I like about microservices is how they decouple every services' rate of change, and going back to lock-step deploys throws that all away.

> In addition, with a monolith, the work of monitoring, alerting, configuration, and a local development is paid once. But with a microservice design, that cost must be paid for every service.

The second sentence is only true if _every service_ actually rolls its own monitoring, alerting, etc. I cannot imagine a situation like that in practice. The standardization of those things (and more, such as build and deployment pipelines) is necessary to enable microservices in the first place. It's true that plenty of organizations committed to their microservice framework will also run some things outside of it, but I've never seen the ratio of things in the framework closer to 0 than 1.

By the way Mr Horn is head of VW Group of America, a subsidiary which besides operating a factory in the U.S. is more or less a distributor of cars for VW and related brands in the U.S. As other people have said Horn doesn't know what's going on at VW AG.

Also, judging from an earlier article it appears it's common to refer to various higher-ups on the product teams as Engineers even though they are quite old and were clearly acting in a managerial or even executive capacity. When Horn says "software engineer" he's making a leap and it's the wrong leap.

Horn is making these statements after being pressed by members of Congress, he's not volunteering these misleading statements.
It is a facet of history. It's a new fact about one of the most reviled and studied individuals in human history and it places his words and deeds in a new light. It is new information about not only Hitler but the entire Third Reich including everyone from the top down to the troops and as such means that historians might need to reframe everything that's been written about the time period up to this point.

Also yes, articles about Nazis tend to have a demonizing slant, for as yet unknown reasons.

You realize this is the exact opposite of what the rest of the world is saying, right? Is this the first article you've read on the matter? I've been following it with great interest, and many others have expressed shame that it's the US that is catching a European company cheating, and threatening prosecution.

This all happened because of the work of the West Virginia lab, plus CARB and EPA's investigation, and the EPA's refusal to issue an emissions certification to 2016 diesel VW passenger cars which has led to likely tens of thousands of un-sellable cars sitting on US dealer lots.

The German government has been shown to have looked the other way repeatedly and to be complicit in fighting on behalf of the automakers instead of the environment.

The European emissions and mileage tests have been shown to be an utter and complete sham.

The story you're peddling is really the exact opposite of reality. Take a look around at the other stories that have been posted on HN on the matter.

I moved here a year ago and have found it to be extremely welcoming. But I'm in science, not tech qua tech. I have made most of my new friends through outdoors, particularly whitewater kayaking. The whitewater community here is vibrant and much preferable to other whitewater hotspots because there are few lifestyle/dudebro boaters and lots of people have interesting jobs or other hobbies and are smart and conversant. I'm also married which is better--I definitely wouldn't want to date here, although there seem to be a lot of girls in science and the outdoors.

I will have to say, though, that as much as I love it here, I definitely don't see it as a particularly soulful city. But I'm from the Ozarks, which while not really diverse still has a lot of music and art. Especially the music: People literally sit on their porches playing music, and you can come up and join them, chat them up, whatever. The boundary between music producer and consumer in the Ozarks/South is a wide spectrum with most people somewhere on it, instead of it being a hard line with most squarely on the consumer side (as in Seattle, supposedly a musical place).

But there are still fun, artsy and 'gritty' events in Seattle. The Fremont Soltice festival/ naked bike ride was super fun to ride in. The Deadbaby Downhill in Georgetown was crazy. But no one will mistake it for New Orleans...
I like the cut of your jib.

I've been considering buying rental properties to supplement my income, but something deep inside somewhere, based on living close to people well below my income level as one of a 4-unit building, prevented me from doing it.

When I tried to compute how much rent I would charge, I realized I would be profiting simply by taking money from them because they have been unable to accumulate capital at the pace I have been. While that does indicate some skill on my part - hey, I scrimp and shop wisely - I don't feel it morally qualifies me to skim from others. That would be paying myself twice. When I scrimp and shop wisely, I benefit from having extra savings, but using that savings to get more from others without adding more value is something I don't feel right doing.

I could morally accept money as a landlord based on my labor doing maintenance and time spent bookkeeping, I suppose. That - speaking as a current tenant - does have some value, but I just don't think it would be much, approximately that of a day laborer or accountant for several hours a week. So screw it, i'll make a lot more money creating something of real value.

Thank you for helping me recognize and articulate this, branchless.

Treating possession of guns as a revocable privilege, with the necessary licensing and registration to make it meaningful, would very likely result in fewer gun deaths. I think it is pretty likely that this will continue to get more politically tenable over time (my hand wavy impression is that younger people are generally less interested in guns, at least, lower rates of young people care about them).

Insurance might come into play in such a world, if people were made liable for (at least some) misuse of guns registered to them (the at least some means that I would hope such a thing would only really come into play if actual negligence were involved).

The tricky part in building carousel was always CSS part, not JavaScript part.

If we removed HTML code from your JSX, you would have ~15 lines of JavaScript. It's simple, right? But it was always simple. I've built carousels in jQuery and JS part was also like 15-18 lines of code maybe.

CSS was trickier and I admit that CSS tweaking can actually take "day or two" (have you tried building simple carousel in pure JavaScript + <canvas>? It is be super easy when we exclude CSS problem from it).

Because CSS is a big freestyle there are many possible implementations of carousel in CSS. You used translate3D. Maybe this made all the difference. I think that you don't need React to calculate variable `offset` and assign it to CSS property `translate3D`. You could do this in jQuery as well.

Although React components are more modular and reusable off course. And if you have project written in React it's natural that everything is declared as React component. I just don't buy "React made possible to do it in simple way" part.
