My next car will be electric too, but I won't exclude VW entirely. They did the most obvious cheating, but basically all Diesel cars would use some schemes to pass the exhaust tests. Their ID line seems to be a genuine attempt at going full electric. I would of course triple-check any claims about their cars going forward.
I work for Oracle. The freedom I get there to pursue what I'm interested in is I think almost unheard of in the rest of the industry. All my work is open source and on GitHub.

While urbanisation overall is probably a net plus for the environment, do keep in mind that, say, farming is quite area intensive.

I would define it as an involuntary payment, mandated by government.

In German law the insurance contribution may not be a tax because payment of it entitles you to certain services. That doesn’t stop it being an involuntary payment, mandated by the government, a tax by common definition.

That doesn’t make the legal definition wrong, but it isn’t really relevant outside a legal context just as a chef won't argue with a botanist that actually a tomatoe or a pumpkin is a vegetable not a fruit. Botanically they’re right but who cares?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax

A tax (from the Latin taxo) is a mandatory financial charge or some other type of levy imposed upon a taxpayer (an individual or other legal entity) by a governmental organization in order to fund various public expenditures.[1] A failure to pay, along with evasion of or resistance to taxation, is punishable by law. Taxes consist of direct or indirect taxes and may be paid in money or as its labour equivalent.
> They state very clearly

They state it in the fineprint. This is what the Tesla Autopilot page used to say for years (this is a 1+ year old screenshot) [0]. Which part of that is accurate? How clear are they about the limitations and the real capabilities of the system? Tesla took the narrow areas where those systems can do a reasonably good job and extrapolated to the whole self-driving experience, blaming regulations for the bits that aren't really there. No autonomous system in the world at this time is capable of anything close to what a human is.

They still claim that:

> Your Tesla will figure out the optimal route, navigate urban streets (even without lane markings), manage complex intersections with traffic lights, stop signs and roundabouts, and handle densely packed freeways with cars moving at high speed

Which is patently false.

This.

I’ve just spent a few days with a client who is in a bit of a fluster, as they feel their business (ten years, eight people, very healthy revenue & profit with huge blue-chip clients) is under threat from a new VC backed competitor.

I said to think of it differently - that the new competitor is so inefficient and unsure about what they are doing that they need a $100M safety blanket. Some will be dazzled by their meteoritic trail - and will get their fingers burned when they touch it.

Also, that with a small team and minimal funding you have secured robust relationships with the core clients they need to make their business a success, and have locked them out. With a small team and minimal funding, you are the guys being invited to speak at conferences - and they are having to sponsor them to get air-time.

Finally, almost verbatim, as I give this speech to both myself and others fairly frequently: “Keep your eyes in the boat, row your own race - and make them anticipate and fear your moves. The moment you worry about what is happening in their boat and how you should respond, you are rowing their race, and you have lost.”

Okay. That leads to some other questions.

1. This was basically a scenario of 'leave that computer turned on, and people will keep sending us money.' (I know it's never quite as simple as that, but it was as close to it as it ever gets.) What's the return on capital of that, expressed as an APR? I would expect it to be far higher than anything else ever gets in the real world.

2. What, exactly, might the something else be? If this was four decades ago when there were so many opportunities that interest rates were in double digits, maybe I could buy it, but now? What else could they possibly be spending the capital on, that would generate a higher return?

3. Speaking of interest rates, they are currently practically zero, and the world is awash in capital looking for good investment opportunities. If they really had a better opportunity than leaving an already developed and proven successful game running, they should have no difficulty laying hands on capital with which to exploit that opportunity.

So I still don't see any way it makes sense. What am I still missing?

Oh, we did - had a box full of pot noodles, and various Union Jack branded tat - you’d be amazed at how far a touristy biro and tiny tin of biscuits will get you.

On the other hand, it sucks when you’ve spent six hours buttering up an entire border station, and then the shift changes, as happened when trying to get into Uzbekistan just after a bombing in Tashkent. Ended up having to sleep in a brothel in a Kazakh border town, as the border was truly closed, and after 30 hours of wakefulness we were ready to drop - and the nearest hotel was in Shymkent.

Travel is great.
It really is, and it's a very enriching way of experiencing art. For a long time, this is how stories propagated -- they were told and retold by various people, who sometimes added details or even entire story twists of their own. Improvisation was a natural part of storytelling which movies rendered somewhat unnecessary, but to which they do lend themselves to some degree.

Related history; a great many mathematicians who intended to sit the Tripos at Cambridge (as Turing did) took up athleticism as part of their preparation.

We use Oracle EBS at work. It's a horrible, counter-intuitive, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink nightmare. Manufacturing, operations, employee self-serve, order entry, and many other functions all rolled into one hot mess complete with a disinterested non-communicative support guy in India.

Part of it is a shitty html-based interface and part is a nearly unusable suite of java applets with inscrutable UI that would have been considered poor even in the late 90's.

I got hand it Oracle engineers, though. What magic to they use to induce C-levels to buy this stuff? They must have mastered the art of inducement with steak, strippers, martinis and lies.
This is great insightful comment, thank you.
Exactly. If it's only being filled with (eg) 8L every 1-2 years, then it's not being used much and is probably not very effective at reducing NOx emissions.

Depending on the engine, driving style, etc, it should really be using something on the order of 20-60 litres of AdBlue per 1000 litres of diesel.
this really depends, i'm sure many of us here run servers that have been humming along for years and are rarely even thought about
The laws limited emissions in the standard government test cycle, and the thresholds on emissions were chosen based on how well cars could be made to perform in those test cycles. While actual defeat devices were illegal, the legal emissions limit wasn't actually the real-world emissions limit and everyone knew it.

(The EU is now gradually moving to real-world emissions testing and a more realistic test cycle, though judging from the other reply they might have some cheating problems with that - especially as real-world testing inherently has wider errors than lab testing.)
Well, yes, that's the way the efficient frontier in the risk-yield curve works.

> doesn't it make sense to build a defensible strategy , building things your competitors will find hard to copy ?

How does looking at what your competitors are doing help with building a defensible strategy?

Either you're copying what they've already done and are playing catchup with already exists or you're somehow looking at what they haven't done to implement something you think they'd be hard to implement, in which case you're focusing on what your competitors are not doing instead of where you think will provide the best value to your Customers.

Which I believe is at the heart of what PG is saying, you should have relentless Customer focus and do what you believe delivers the most value instead of focusing on competing against your competitors.

Centralized services on top of decentralized things are mostly used for visibility.

Pirate Bay for torrents, Napster, GitHub for git, ... They do fix a problem.

I actually think that Microsoft is the lesser evil in this case. They will add azure flows, but not enforce them. I believe they will also embrace other services ( not the embrace and extend way though. The Enterprise culture makes them support things for a very long term ( even codeplex still let's you download old archives)

They reinvented themselves with the mantra: developers.

Making them pissed off for using something else is not their mantra any more ( them = developers outside the dot Net/ windows ecosystem)

And yes, as each business, they also want profits. But the way to do it has changed.

Ps. Google code also let's you download the old repos ( just checked it)

Edit 2: the only thing I can think of is that the evolution of Windows forms didn't go as planned and got changed to "more web". As a result, WPF ( I think) is in maintenance mode and considered as feature complete untill it's fully integrated in. Net core ( which was a hard change because of differences in graphic rendering cross platform). The only thing that got deprecated here was Silverlight, which was a correct and hard decision.
Why do you think escalating emissions standards exist? The entire purpose is to gradually retire whole technologies!

It is essentially deprecation. The ultimate goal is always reduce to zero, you will find very few emissions in our continuous world that are somehow safe at arbitrary cutoff X but unsafe above.

Correct. Every single manufacturer in the industry knows what the others are doing. They all buy each other's vehicles and tear them down to the last bolt and bit to see how they work and how they can "borrow" some ideas without infringing on any patent (or breaking the law maybe).

They were all aware of what VW was doing and it wasn't a surprise, lots of companies did it [0] a lot of times [1]. Usually though the penalties were light. Many times they involved US companies and the strong local lobby pushed for the lighter fines. Like the heavy duty diesel engines case where 7 truck manufacturers were ordered to pay $1bn together for doing the exact same thing. Which in the grand scheme of things was peanuts compared to VW's $4.5bn (plus the tens of $bn of extra costs). So the expectation was always "it's just the cost of doing business, pay it and let bygones be bygones".

As an American-born person my frustration with H-1B is twofold: lower wages and abusive treatment of employees. Perspective taking and empathy can be hard when you're talking about a situation you can't relate to but that hardly excuses the atrocious behavior on the part of employers.
