It was available already on late 90s vehicles. That was the fix to solve Mercedes Class A failing Elk test: put ESP on all trims

It definitly exists, some managers just want increasing headcount to have more worth among their peers. My friend has one such job, he's begging for work. His colleagues could easily handle how workload

The effects are probably more profound that just losing allies. It also could crash financial market, and tech wise would force EU to develop it's own industry, like baidu or yandex

That type of setup is indeed odd. When it happens I usually don't care and take a glass anyway, hoping it'll convince someone else to follow me.

You missed the part where it loosen up. Some people are shy and a drink help them speak up in groups. The younger me felt that way.

I also sometimes think about how to make computers supervise/control human activity. It's like a inner engineering rush, but then I come back to my senses and think of how outraged I would be. However for some colleagues, as long

When you come in the UK as a continental european (french for that matter), you notice you're inundated with tons of trivia of how great british inventors are, and how many things they invented/discovered. They even make TV shows

Nice to mention that this new menu takes ages to appear, on my computer I can wait 5s until it is rendered and I can finally click on more options...

They finally do something about it, was about time. I wonder how big Chinese platforms are going to avoid it.

That's also why you wear high visibility vest and you let forklifts priority.

The trouble is that they successfuly made people believe social and human science are as reliable as hard science, using statistical data as mathematical proof. My wife works in University, they are the most left leaning people I ever saw,

Yep that's the standard in embedded on bare metal without memory allocation. There is a mechanism in place to synchronise data during interrupts, so it's not really direct write. Usually also coupled with a two complement variable

So they drop the voltage to mimic an engine cranking, and they are surprised that the ECU behaves like it is cranking. When engine cranks, voltage drops below minimum voltage required by ECU to keep SW running (SW resets). To counter these,

Exactly, you need to touch both plus and minus. You moved the goalpost from getting electrocuted driving your car due to shoddy quality remanufacturing of battery, to getting electrocuted while repairing the high voltage side of your vehicl

Do you realise how difficult it is to get "electrocuted" in a battery powered vehicle ? I suggest you document yourself on the matter. The only real issue in reality is thermal runaway

Not so fast. I "saved" guys from being fired by asking to be more patient with them. The last one was not in my team as I moved out to lead another team. Turned out the guy did not please an influencial team member, who then compl

Same experience in my village. When you live far from public infrastructure (police, firefighters, doctors etc...) you need to rely on each other. I miss this spirit in the city

Some people love the fact that they have old appliances still running fine. I have my grandma Siemens fridge, 30 years old, still running fine. On one hand, a more efficient fridge would cost less money on the long run, but on the other ha

It's crazy how long those reputation can last. AEG made good product 30-40 years ago, like everyone else as is was standard to build quality gear.

Then why more affluent younger people have no plan to have kids? The under 35 who have a partner at my work are just planning their next trip. They don't want to hear anything about kids and their constraints. They will give you reason

Same goes for how men are comforting each other by acknowledging flaws/mistakes/situation to try to help move on. Which is very different on how women comfort each other.

Bad translation has become the norm now as everyone automates translation. What I find more worrying, is that people repeat and use these bad translations in everyday speech, unaware of the correct professional translation.

Agree, it is not that impressive knowing that. Many 80s 90s Mercedes achieved that, and some with original engine

Limited by railways and number of stops too. On a 500km trip in France (Paris - Strasbourg) you can save 15min by taking the train with no stops : 1h46 vs 2h and 2 stops

Most rigs in Europe (I'm in France) are Sprinter type van like an ambulance, which is the one which gets mostly called. The other Sprinter are with tools, and or two big ladder trucks for the real fires which rarely happen. To me they

Indeed, it's not allowed to not have a French translation in ads in France, yet now they put everything in english everywhere. When it is not enforceable, the law is meaningless and only blocks honest people.

Aka how to shoot yourself in the foot and hand over the market to Chinese manufacturer. In Europe, only Renault created a low cost brand (Dacia). Once chinese brands become commonplace everywhere, tradional carmakers will have a hard time t
