If Mazda was attempting and failing to get their cars to pass the defined emissions test, one can imagine they were only ever testing their own and their competitor's cars under those test conditions—which we now know triggered the cheat mechanism in VW cars.

But yes, had the research group not performed their on-road tests, it would have only been a matter of time before an honest car maker would have realised their competitor's sums don't add up and perform or fund their own independent investigation.

(Perhaps this is exactly what happened behind the scenes? It's known that CARB ordered the research due to discrepancies in US v EU numbers—but someone pushed them to look at the numbers closely. They put a lot of work in to perform these tests so it couldn't have been on a whim.)

The Euro6 standard was launched back in 2014, following the Euro4- and 5 standards that most of the diesel-gate cars adhered to. Most cars manufactured from around 2016/17 are Euro6, and as far as I’m aware Urea tanks are in use on most or all.

I honestly don’t understand why it would have been an issue to have it before. My diesel tank is 65L and it takes me over 1000km. Even if they had made a 10L Urea tank and shrunk the gas tank to make room for it, the range is still more than enough. Filling it takes 5 minutes once every 1-2 years and costs about the same as windshield wiper fluid. Can’t see why that would make the car unappealing either.
Agreed, but until Rust actually provides good coverage for many C++ uses cases, like COM/UWP on Windows for .NET apps with Visual Studio mixed debugging and GUI designers, sounding the safety trumpet without anything else to offer won't do it.

Maybe it will change after the HoloLens/FF project, however today is not appealing to many Windows teams.

I only have experience with the former Sun storage bits: Solaris, ZFS, storage appliance, networking. I worked in a former Sun building, and with just one exception everyone in the chain between me and Larry was a Sun employee.

Sun was a really cool place to work. The periodic demoralizing layoffs were a bummer, but they didn't seem toxic; it was common for people to come right back, sometimes back to their same offices, after the company started hiring again.

Sun's technology was hugely attractive. Solaris was the best Unix. ZFS, dtrace, etc. Dozens of other projects and thousands of people doing cutting edge work. Even the older stuff like tape and SAM/QFS was really cool to work on. The fact that so much of it was open source gave me a moral imperative to contribute, and I know a lot of other people felt the same.

I think the shear awesomeness of the technology that Oracle inherited from Sun (and other companies) drove the demand for Oracle jobs at that site for years after the acquisition. Oracle has done their best to squander this good will, and I won't be surprised if they find it harder to attract talent going forward.

I'd say the company did not generally treat us little guys like crap. I had great bosses, except for the last one, who I suspect was a hit man hired specifically to thin the ranks. Overall, I feel I was treated fairly, perhaps even better than I deserved.

This is actually a pretty lame answer, sorry. My experience was too narrow to give me any useful insight.
"Those are whopping margins, and the reason for this discrepancy is that rental markets have very different dynamics in expensive cities like New York and San Francisco than less expensive cities like Milwaukee. In low-cost cities, landlord profit rates rise steeply alongside neighborhood poverty. But in expensive cities, the reverse is true. In expensive cities, landlords make money through appreciation and gentrification (which is bad enough for the poor). In lower-cost, more economically hard-hit cities, they make it on the backs of the poor."

In expensive cities the underlying real estate appreciates and you make your money on that when you sell. The cash flows are mostly to cover maintenance and property tax but in some hot real estate markets rents won't even cover operating costs. In stagnant areas the property value is either stable or decreasing so you make your money on rent.

Low rent, high appreciation properties are attractive to investors who don't need cash flow. If you need cash flows you have to go the other way. This isn't surprising to anyone.

I'm sure that it varies somewhat by industry. But also, the absolute populations of white and black people in America are pretty different, so it matters how you measure this. A higher proportion of blacks could be union members, and still the absolute number of white union members could be larger.
Well, it would give them time for starters. And it's possible that society would see the benefit of having an overall better educated population and decide to subsidize the cost using some of the newly generated wealth that robots would produce.

Definitely in many contexts this is appropriate.Elsewhere in this discussion someone mentions Amazon, who is famously customer 'obsessed'. However Amazon do watch their competitors closely also - AWS changes based on competitors and indeed the price of products on Amazon changes based on competitor prices. I personally think you should not worry and obsess over your competitors and definitely should focus on your customers, however ensuring you are not blindsided by a change that a competitor makes is really important.

BitMEX isn't a spot exchange. It offers derivatives and futures products. It does has its share of issues (namely system overload) but it is probably the only legitimate platform (i.e. no fake volume) on Coinmarketcap that doesn't get volume counted because it is not spot volume.

The elephant in the room is that the liquidity and trading on BitMEX is legit and many times higher than spot, yet BitMEX is unregulated. Big players can and has used BitMEX to manipulate spot prices (arbitrage/market maker bots will move the price on regulated spot exchanges accordingly). It used to be that most of the manipulation happens on Okcoin futures products. Since the China fiasco in 2016-2017 they lost almost of all of their traders to BitMEX.

Why Is Indian Passport So Weak? A Tale of My Anguish
> The US test cycle is better.

Then you never heard about the US test cycle cheating scandal. It's not better, it's actually simplier to cheat. The US test cycle is tailored to a more realistic city environment with a lot of stop's and go's, cold starts, and requires an actual professional driver. No automation. These drivers learned soo much how to cheat the system, that they were in high demand and they were all held exclusively by the US car industry, so Asian and European companies were at disadvantage. That's why the Asian industry agreed to use the European test cycles and not the more realistic US system. It was too expensive and too easily tricked. The European standard was cheaper and fairer (those times). Until they found a way to trick it also.
TFA doesn't provide enough information to know whether the suicide rate is unusually high, or other causes are unusually low. What it says about causes of death for children aged 10 to 14:

suicide: 22.9%

cancer: 22.7%

accidents: 11.7%

In the US, the major causes of death among children and adolescents are motor vehicle crashes and firearm injuries, and then cancers.[0] So maybe, with somewhat less motor vehicles and far less firearms, the suicide rate in Japan is unusual.

Maybe a Japanese speaker could find the actual data.

People are only learning to program because they saw good money, every other person now a days is just learning to program to get into programming job even though they have 0 interest in programming. Due to all this, CS is very saturated, and there will be one day when every other person will be a programmer, jobs will be few so competition will be high but pays will be less. If you were that interested in programming you would have known it when you are choosing your career paths. You saw money, you came in, nothing else. And what's with this women learn to program, I never saw any Men learn to program. They say it like CS schools do not accept girls when they apply, idiots.
I made a mistake of mentioning Common Lisp in the same line. Common Lisp has pointers (cons) as well.

Hylang doesn't have goto, as Python doesn't have it.

Well you can always implement a goto by having

1. A list made of lambdas. List gives numeric addresses. Dict will give you named addresses.

2. Pass the above list itself to each of the lambda or make it a global variable called ADDRESSES.

No one talks about the cool imperative features of Common Lisp right ? The was the point I was trying to make.

Scripting is imperative.

Python is a scripting language .. right ? That makes Hylang a scripting language too. Hylang is (Python).

See, this just proves what I said in another comment -- that the different parts of Oracle are like completely different companies. I don't doubt what you say. But in ZFSSA QA, it was the opposite. Our director held regular all-hands meetings specifically meant to keep us all up to date on product strategy and direction. She wanted all of us to know exactly how our efforts were contributing to product revenue and to the company's strategic goals. Detailed stuff that made us (me, anyway) feel important. I've actually never seen anything like it anywhere else I've worked, even startups.

Agree with PG.

I mean I'd love to have the free time to be able sit analyze and strategize against what my competitors are doing, but I'm too busy working on the next place which I believe will add the most value. In the end you'll end up with a different priority/feature-set and USPs that focusing and trying to replicate what your competitors are doing.

IMO the most important thing is to have a solid Customer base, they'll submit an infinite stream of issues/feature requests which will highlight where to focus your efforts on. Although it's also important to have confidence in innovating yourself as my best USPs have come from novel features that no-one has thought to ask for, as you'll pretty much only receive requests for features others have already done.

It's amazing how little I truly need. I haven't paid rent since 2015 by choice. I can afford it, but see no reason to. I went to a camping store and bought the most comfortable air sleeping pad and other gear. My 4" thick sleeping pad is more comfortable than my bed. My total spend was less than $500.

While working on my software, I make money as a field engineer. I drive to my next client and just park nearby overnight. To the rest of the world, my minivan looks like any other parked vehicle. It's not an RV, so it's completely invisible. There are no signs I am there after I convert the interior into sleep mode. Since I have no commute, I don't waste fuel or time in rush hour traffic.

You would never know I do this unless I told you. :)

The Reasons Why China Bans Foreign Tech Companies
This is very relevant in eCommerce as it is far easier to get on the wrong side of stripe terms (and it can be subjective) with selling physical products.

It wouldn't surprise me if it they would have had an issue with the store under their terms on Stripe as well and it just happened to not come up when signing up to stripe.

Shopify is probably best for direct to consumer stores where they have all the product specs and authorizations lined up in the event of any issue.

From what I have read, suicide is an issue for high school students in Japan due to extreme performance pressure.

As I understand it, they have 220 school days per year versus 180 in the US and they are expected to join study groups and the like "voluntarily," which de facto eats up a lot of their remaining free time.

I think the most charitable read it can be given is that a densely populated island nation has innate performance pressure. If you don't creatively squeeze every drop from the local resources, you face a population collapse. The high pressure culture is a attempt to mitigate those things.

I do get your point and I didn't downvote you. But I think you are probably missing this piece of the puzzle.

So yes, they're less customer centric.
Light coloured objects are light coloured because they are reflecting most of the photons that hit them back to your eyes. Dark coloured objects are dark because they are absorbing more of the photons. This is why dark coloured objects heat up faster in the sun; they are absorbing more photons. However, generally, the converse is also true, objects that readily absorb photons also readily emit them. So, the dark object will cool down more rapidly in the shade or at night. The wavelength (or colour) emitted depends on the temperature of the object. At room temperature, the emission peaks in the infrared, so the object still appears dark (but will glow brightly in night vision goggles). As it gets hotter, the peak emission moves into the visible spectrum and the object starts to glow (red hot then white hot).
I'd be very suspicious of the 'accidents' section and would like to see detailed data about it myself.

Many people run over by trains ( to mention a relatively common occurrence in Tokyo ) are put in the 'accidents' statistic chart as well, even when it is no such thing in some cases, but a clear, deliberate suicidal act. I speak from personal experience, and not just once. For many reasons, even though it's obvious for everyone and there might even be witnesses to the event, better to avoid the stigma.

Likewise in Real Estate companies having to disclose such events in their properties. Much easier to deal with an 'accident' than a 'suicide' in an otherwise perfectly good apartment.

The issue is probably underreported in every demographic, children and pre-teens included.

I did an eval about 4 years ago of schedulers and service discovery software.

Lot’s of cool stuff around (dc/os, triton, hashi, k8s, flynn etc)!

After 2 days with k8s and not so much as a bootstrapped cluster the turn went to hashicorp.

Within 10 min I had a container running, registered in service disc (consul) on my laptop.

We ended up using the hashicorp stack in production with great success.
Sure, some custom services was needed (service managment, scaling and such).

Running primarily on prem the complete simpleness and un-opiniated approach is an edge.

It allowed us to implement MACVLAN at first, and the ubuntu FAN-network and integrate totally with existing infrastructure.

Now having spent the last 8 months implementing k8s I’m torn.

I’ve built from scratch, used kubeadm, kops and now EKS.
From 1.13 kubeadm honestly works really well and is my prefered way of deploying k8s.

Still it’s a beast... running large deployments with many teams... there’s just so much... stuff.

One GH issue leading down a rabbit hole of other GH and gists with conflicting or not working configurations.
I’ve had co-workers bail on the project after mere hours of digging through code and GH discussions and SIG docs.

Nomad/consul and it’s concise docs is a breeze in comparision.

Torn. Cause I see the point of k8s, just not sure about the project. :)
