Cybertruck would not get approval in Europe

In the US the Tesla Cybertruck was pre-ordered a hundred thousand times. It is still unclear when the electric off-road vehicle will come onto the market in this country. However, a TÜV expert now explains that approval in Germany would not be possible at the moment.

Stefan Teller, an expert from SGS-TÜV Saar GmbH, told the "Automobilwoche" that "major modifications to the basic structure" would be necessary beforehand. "Tesla's basic concept contradicts the current European safety philosophy". With regard to the Cybertruck, the expert sees major shortcomings: "The occupants feel safe, but are not," says Teller. Because there is a big difference in the type approval of vehicles between the USA and Europe.

In the US, car manufacturers have the option of certifying the roadworthiness of their vehicles themselves, known as self-certification. In Germany, on the other hand, a type approval procedure applies in which both the manufacturers and the authorities and independent technical services such as TÜV are involved. "For vehicles, 50 to 60 regulations must be complied with," says Teller.

In addition, the Cybertruck is one of the so-called light duty trucks in the USA. Vehicles of this class are exempt from many regulations regarding the passive safety of the occupants. In Europe, on the other hand, passive safety and pedestrian protection are of great importance. "The front of the vehicle must not become as stiff as it likes," says Teller. "Bumpers and bonnets must be able to absorb energy in order to protect pedestrians. This means that the body is designed to deform in a targeted manner in the event of an accident and to absorb the energy of the impact in order to minimise injuries.

"Enormous forces act on the occupants".

This targeted deformation is not possible with Tesla, however, because the cybertruck uses highly rigid sheet metal. "Nothing deforms in the event of an impact, instead enormous forces act on the occupants. Airbags won't help any more," says Teller. If the Tesla Cybertruck is to receive approval in Europe, it would have to be heavily modified.

As the Tesla Cybertruck is currently designed, the expert does not give the E-Pick-up a chance. In its current design, "it will not be possible to sell this truck in Germany as a mass production vehicle on the basis of a type approval," says Teller. "This is still a big task for Mr. Musk."

Agreed, I think there's bigger problems than mild warming. As far as I can tell, mild warming is usually good for the human race and for ecological health, such as plant growth.

For example, leaf area index has increased by 8% since the 80s. CO2 is fertilizing plant growth.

If you listen to a lot of the hype, it seems it's all bad, when really it's a mixed bag of complex trade offs.
For the customer, automatically converting long subscriptions to perpetual licenses for an old version is a major safety net (the software will not stop working if I stop paying) and it proves that the vendor is committed to improving the product enough to make upgrades compelling.

On the other hand, reasonable customers do not expect support beyond the latest version and whatever they are currently paying for: "we have fixed that in the latest version, which you should buy" is a valid and honest answer to support issues.

For a tool that can be changed with very little friction like a revision control client, the typical "calculation" about spending money is likely to be waiting for an actual troublesome situation and then get out of it with a short subscription or a 30-day trial.
> the point of going to extremes like quitting the job, just to avoid having a genuine conversation with somebody.

If you genuinely think the ones you saw could have been avoid just by a conversation, I’d wager the main issue was not an awkward situation but a crucial lack of trust, often coming from a toxic culture.

I saw a lot of situations where something awkward was going in, ranging from bad hygiene to mild harassment.

Dozens of people are witnessing the situation every single day, even if the manager doesn’t step in there’s a flurry of other people with enough power or influence to intervene. That often means that the situation goes on because nobody gives a crap, or the one in fault thinks (right or wrong) that nothing will happen if the warnings/requests are ignored.

That’s just a crappy place to work either way. Quitting won’t be because of the awkward situation, but because it was a symptom of a deeper issue.

Yep. I got pretty into keyboards this year and ended up spending over $500 and probably 50 hours on research, key switches, key caps, soldering, firmware programming, and learning Colemak and ortholinear layouts. I enjoyed the process, but it would be pretty difficult to argue that it was a worthwhile investment on purely pragmatic grounds. When you spend $200 on a keyboard, you’re inclined to spend hours fixing it when there are problems (which every custom-built keyboard has) rather than just dropping $20 on a new one. I’m not getting any of that time back and I’m not any faster at typing.

I don't like the idea of a computer that can think for itself, I don't like the idea of computers will replace humans jobs, I don't like the way we are heading.
Inexperienced devs should pair program async and threaded code before they can do it on their own. They drive with the experienced dev over their shoulder to point out the footguns. Or at least have an interactive code review. Unfortunately lots of teams are under too much pressure to deliver so pair programming doesn't get done as much as it should. It's how I learnt to write safe threaded code and I can still hear the voice of the senior dev in the back of my mind when I write it now.
I mean, CD/DVD based games consoles have the drive rated for only a certain number of reads, there is an interview with Naughty Dog devs talking about development of Crash Bandicoot, where apparently they discovered that on average playing through the entire game would do a "lifetime" of reads, Sony allowed the game to be released anyway(and it looks like the drive was under-rated if anything, since no significant drive breakages were reported from playing this game).

I do however know of one Gamecube game which was an inch away from being on the market in a state that would brake the drive of every gamecube that played it - some very clever person found an undocumented command that would increase the speed of the drive, leading to super quick streaming from the drive, resolving some loading issues that the game had at the time. It worked well, the game was finished and went into manufacturing, and fortunately Nintendo realized that it's no coincidence that QA's and their own test kits keep breaking after playing the game, and pulled it before it hit the shelves.

It helps people get back into their interests and hobbies that might have fallen by the wayside due to family or work commitments.

The problem I found was that I had been out of the loop for so long and found it difficult to find a starting point. My solution, or part of it, is to give someone a list of items that have recommended by people they follow on Twitter. This will narrow down their search and they could just get back into their hobbies rather than distracted by searching for something online.

Does this help? I’d love some more feedback! Thanks again...

Indeed, the article is not quite correct that the cheese was lost.

We know that Pepys buried this cheese, along with other items, because he wrote about it in his diary [1].

It was not mentioned again (or was it?). So based on evidence we don't know what happened to the cheese, but Pepys most likely dug it up along with the other items he had buried (he had also buried wine and office papers).

Given what we know now, after the outrage took out of the closet a lot of information previously obscured and out of the limelight, about Boeing's issues in production and design and the regulatory capture of the FAA: do you still think this whole backlash against the 737 MAX is purely the internet hyper analysis and outrage machine?
Hmm.

The good thing is that this suggests they've apparently hit the complacency plateau that everybody large seems to hit that marks their modus-operandi as "set in stone".

It depends what you mean by "getting a better grip". There are books on scientific topics that do not rely on technical details. When they are great, they are so exactly because, even with this constraint, they manage to clearly convey the elemental notions to a layman ([0] is a great example). It is debatable whether the grip you get in this way is better or not. Certainly it can get deeper, when complemented with the right analytical tools.

I once worked on a desk opposite a guy, who had often his finger in his nose, searching, finding and taking out.. you know.

But those things are just here, and if you act out of kindness towards the person, seeing how may he/she suffer because of that and by having a discussion or drop a few sentences on the subject, you are actually helping the person as well.

I guess it is better to try than to alienate that person in our mind and the longer it takes, the harder it is to start the discussion.

Ironically that comes close to replicating the old British system, once world famous along with similar approaches in India, and elsewhere. It ran quietly and successfully for half a century.

So the whole point of MCAS is to basically create an emulated flight envelope more similar to how previous generations 737s flew just to avoid a type rating re-certification?

I wouldn't link this with nginx pursue. Rambler is very big company (something like Yahoo in Russian) and in this case claim looks reasonable. Off course amount looks shocking high, but as it was mentioned it's maximum possible and likely at the end it will be 1000 times smaller.

I’m an unhappy vim Colemak user. I remapped HJKL to NEIO, which implied some other changes (particularly needing to find new keys for N and I), and now I never know what keys to press because I can’t keep track of whether I’m using a local vim with all my settings. Touch typing on Qwerty and Colemak is no problem, but changing my vim habits is much more difficult, I suppose because I don’t think as much about the letters when I’m not using them to spell out words.

> DDG is only successful if you use the exact wording used on the pages.

IMHO, your search keywords gave subpar results for an entirely different reason. For instance, the search terms you chose for your first two examples are overly technical considering the average users of Debian or Kodi. As for the third example, the term "build" is ambiguous because it's also frequently used to refer to binary releases. I was able to find the right results from DDG because I chose keywords that aren't confusing, not because I knew what to search beforehand. It's not so hard.
Boeing may curb the production of 737 Max airplanes, source says
India’s Internet shutdown in Kashmir is the longest ever in a democracy
The shared type rating was a huge draw for airlines. Without it, the 737 MAX 8 would not have been nearly as popular in orders as it was.

Boeing got very greedy and multiple failures have occurred along the way. MCAS on passenger planes is not unheard of, and has been implemented for various reasons before including shared type ratings. It was just never botched across the board this badly before.

The biggest failure as parent comment correctly notes, is MCAS was given significantly more control authority than originally planned after flight testing showed it was ineffective as per the original design. But this change in control authority didn't trigger a review process which would have reclassified it from non-critical to critical system.

I don't know, I know nothing about mainframes. I do not understand if your criticism is that they are making mistakes that have already been solved half a century ago (which is a good criticism, if true) or that they are not giving proper recognition.

The new shiny thing about WASM is that it fits into the constraints of the web platform. I suspect that even the best mainframes bytcodes had at least slightly different constraints.
