Cars taking up physically less space could be taxed less (or, my preference, large SUVs taxed more).

Norway essentially does this. Taxes are based on engine size and (I believe) weight. The relative price difference between a large SUV and a small, low horsepower, hatchback is much greater than in most other countries. However based on casual observations in and around Oslo, it doesn't seem to have a huge effect on the size of cars people drive.

The real effect is the 'everybody' owns a Tesla since they are exempt for many taxes and thus cost literally half the price of an equivalently performing petrol powered car.

I think you misread my question or something.
The compliance departement is supposed to test independantly for exactly the same reason you software testers should actually test the product and not just believe the software engineer when he says: "it works".
It's possible to set up encryption model where it will be particularly hard to sell data later -- this is one of the things we've spent a decent amount of time building in the company I work for, for this reason. No, we're not selling data, and we're actively working to block that pathway in future even if the leadership has completely changed.

E.g., data at rest for private accounts is encrypted with per-account keys based at some level on the user's login, and internally can't be decrypted until the user is signs in next.

I think it has more to do with the obvious safety concerns. Yes, nuclear power is quite safe in capable hands (e.g. the Navy), but I don't trust a private shipping enterprise not to cut costs on things like control rods.

There is tldr.io, with somewhat still buggy Chrome integration, that will display you a TL;DR below Reply box on HN (and in an expandable-on-hover box next to the link on HN main page) iff someone has already written a TL;DR for the article in this service.
IMHO that does not matter. If they knew about the software, they are the ones responsible, not the engineers. And it seems unthinkable that engineering just went ahead and put in the software hack, without getting a go from management or the compliance dept. It's about who signed this off.
I get your point. But, tangentially, I believe the Secret Service handles more of the credit card fraud stuff. There was just some discussion in the news the other day about the Secret Service being stretched too thin because of all the time they spent on investigating financial "cyber crime" vs. guarding the president and such.

Anyway, here's a couple links on what to report to which:

Secret Service:

FBI:

Perforce does what is requested in the article:

- Working with large files

- Getting only the needed files form the sever, not all

- Not wasting space with .svn/.git copies of the files

- Reasonably fast.

They have quite some customers in the video game industry because of their support for huge projects and large files. We are using it for a different kind of application with similar requirements (100000s files, size up to GBs range per file). Perforce is well suited for the job and has good 24/7 support.
That's normal. As another example, the most sophisticated stone tools come from the very tail end of the stone age (or beyond).
Ask HN: Can i learn Math
Hello guys i have a question and i need clean answer to clear my mind so im 22 year old and now im practicing front end development and i dont know anything in math so i want to learn math because i see now i need to learn math someone can tell me is to late to learn math or not if not how can i learn math how to develop my logic or critical thinkin and so on. Sorry for my bad english.
I'd add:

- That's what they teach you when you're a student.
The funny thing is that the engineers that wrote the code don't actually work at VW. If I am not mistaken, their engine control sytems for their Diesel engines come from Bosch.

Also, if you talk to an engineer you will quickly hear that there is a connection between fuel efficiency, power, and emmissions. If you drive the engine with parameters tuned for low emissions, you'll get less efficiency etc.

But the engineers don't seem to care that the engine stats claimed by VW are not actually possible...
Just imagine what would have happened if the Fed would have used their current strategy in 1995, or 2005.

The same as what's happening now? Sure, then blame the Fed.

Something dramatically different? Then maybe there's something else going on, and the Fed is merely responding to that.

Yes, very much so. Much of the contention comes from the obscene licensing prices coupled with the fact that its a terrible language.
The article talk about (and links to) a very specific article reporting what can fairly be seen as "blame the engineer"

> Volkswagen investigators have determined that engineers cheated U.S. emissions tests in part because they could not figure out how to meet the standards, the company said today.

> Volkswagen Group Chairman Hans-Dieter Potsch told reporters that engineers erred by developing manipulative software to fool regulators because they "quite simply could not find a way to meet the tougher" limits for nitrogen oxide pollutants in the U.S.

Deeper in the body, the article all but confirms that it wasn't a few engineers gone rogue with statements like

> Peter De Lorenzo, a former auto industry marketing executive and editor of Autoextremist.com, said Volkswagen cultivated a "culture of fear" that nudged engineers to "do whatever they had to do to say that they met the standards."

I'm actually on the same path, I've built a SaaS website feedback tool, which started 4 years ago as a side project, but since Sept this year I've been working on it full time, hoping to reach around $3,000 MRR (currently at $900)

So far it's working, I'm way ahead of my target 7% month on month growth, so I'd recommend doing something similar - build a SaaS app that you can manage by yourself, and invest as much time as you can in learning marketing.

If you're interested I'm doing a completely transparent blog series about my progress - https://blog.bugmuncher.com/2015/10/22/from-side-project-to-...

Part of the job of the compliance department will be to write the requirements that ensure the design and engineering teams build something that's actually legal to drive around on the road. If they wrote a requirement than "engine must meet emissions during test" then they have failed to do their job properly because there's a very obvious flaw in that requirement.

Can you explain that further? Given a specific power output, lower emission levels would to me indicate that the engine is doing more with a smaller amount of fuel, indicating better efficiency.

Categorizing it as "blame the engineer" is sadly accurate in my opinion. That has been VW's stance from the very beginning. VW's US CEO said, while denying a corporate-level scandal, "software engineers who put this in for whatever reason," to a congressional panel back in October: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/10/volkswagen-pulls-...

Certainly doesn't get any more "blame the engineer" than that, unless they're supposedly somehow changing their tune now... which is not my impression.

With regards to middle management being laid off, it strikes me more as the C-level players insulating themselves from the taint.
Think of requirements vs implementation. One groups designs the tests, and the other who implements them. The test designers don't really know a lot about how the systems work. The implementors are ordered to follow the design... no matter what.

Sound familiar?

"Math" is huge, and I mean HUGE - there's vast amounts of it, and most of it you won't care about, and is irrelevant to you.

For most people, yes, you can learn math. In particular, you can learn the bits of math that are relevant, interesting, and useful. But for some parts of it, it won't be easy.

Some parts you'll find obvious once it's explained to you in a way that suits how you think. Other parts will seem mysterious and completely opaque.

Get used to it - that's how it is. But don't give up!

So, what kind of math do you already know? If I say that 3+5x=13, would you be able to work out what x is?

If I asked for the slope of the graph of x^3-3x+5 at x=2, would you know how to do that?

These are things that are in everyone's grasp, and if you don't know them yet, it's just because you haven't done it yet. If you're in Front End development you can certainly learn to do these sorts of things (although they may not be exactly relevant to you just now).

So, what sort of stuff do you already know, and have you yet checked out the Khan Academy link?
Of course, but whenever you skew from passive acquisition of data to a system that requires active participation you increase the likelihood of inaccurate or incomplete data.

There is no "first" about that. Expressing yourself clearly and precisely is something that comes with math. Yes, it's a useful skill, but there's no need to think of doing it first.

So, with respect, while it's true that the OP will need to learn how to write more clearly, I think you are wrong.

If a story has had significant attention in the last year or so, we kill reposts as duplicates. If not, a small number of reposts is ok.

I recently switched from a 15 yrs old VW Golf IV with 1.6l and 100HP to a 2009 Tiguan with just 1.4l but 150HP.

I can't say that it has a better mileage but the power is there, the 50% more HP makes a real difference. I was really skeptical at the beginning, but the progress in engine design is indeed visible.
I do remember reading an article which made it sound like it was all the fault of a couple of engineers. I wouldn't be surprised if VW had a hand in the publication of these articles.

VW probably ended up tweaking their damage-control strategy after realizing that people just wouldn't buy it.

That seems to be a pretty common approach for PR damage-control; first you try to lay the blame on the most helpless people possible, if the public doesn't buy it, you have to shift the blame to progressively more senior people until the public is satisfied. That's pretty much what happened with the Watergate scandal.

>...without the compliance department...

In my experience compliance departments make sure you're compliant within reason. They aren't going to go out of their way to determine if you're cheating unless they've been mandated to due to prior internal or industry incidents. Even in companies where they have to audit controls because of regulatory obligations they're only going to audit what they're required to. If you find a way to outsmart the controls or checks and balances they're not going to notice until you slip up or you're otherwise caught.

>...and all outside verification labs being in cahoots.

Does this have to be true? They would only need to apply the cheating behavior for the lab testing the way they did for regulatory testing.

And VW suspended nine middle managers. I think it's less about blaming the engineers and more about deflecting blame away from senior management.

2. It would break backwards-compatability if we did it. (Well, duh).

I skimmed some of the evidence there. Nothing seems to condemn the HCF industry as a whole. Some linked articles about it in Wall street journal and Financial Times are behind paywall. And even if HFC would be bad, it's not significant. Your source also says HFC can't hold much equity.

You could have explained me why HFC is bad. Just slamming around some link with lots of "evidence" is not very convincing. Given how easy it is to find evidence about anything these days. It's bit unfair to assume I should gather your argument for you.
That would give the indication that non-promoted reposts aren't ok, but they are.
