Which leaves you with classical-clean-US-water - no taste, nothing. Doesn't taste good, doesn't taste bad, it's just not there.

Just my personal experience: tap water in US tastes bad, bottled watered in US tastes also bad ("purified" water). As European on business trip I was forced to buy San Pellegrino or other imported (and expensive :/) brands. O

Their products are obviously CE certified and some of them are PSE certified. Good enough for me. Edit: Needless to say, certifications are bullshit anyway, it's just a waiver for lawyers - Samsung Galaxy Note 7 had all possible certif

Process of certification is heavy on cash, need some weird certifications? Price of products will increase and customers will be hurt as a result (just to make some minor portion of customers happy).

this + Smaller sensor means larger effective focal length, which tends to smaller/cheaper lenses. 86x zoom for 35mm sensor would be much larger (so big that it would be impractical), heavier and much pricier than $200k.

Or use userspace networking stack (with cards which allow this) to reduce number of syscalls.

That's exactly what I'm trying to point out here: Please invest some engineering time into native apps instead of cross-platform code.

Please note that Native binary is not always Native API. Does the app use the most efficient methods provided by operating system? Is the graphical user interface consistent with the other applications on the same system? Is number of sys

CBOR, FlatBuffers, ProtoBuf, MsgPack, BSON - so many better choices. Please do not make JSON a standard for M2M communication, it's as bad as calling Electron apps "native".

Schedulers for Multi must be fun - I'm sure they must have employed a whole research group for solving this problem. Scheduling simple elavator systems is still a problem nowadays, this one? It's so much harder.

If you want to connect cars in like smart city/roads/self-driving, as i.e. "let's keep that speed so traffic is as effective as possible etc", then you do not need any "cloud" - peer-to-peer is as effectiv

Nope. I would not connect my car to "the cloud" even if I was paid to do it. What are benefits? Are they bigger than security problems? No software is 100% safe and cars are considered "critical equipment" - no for cars
