I recently completed a day of high performance driving school where we ran M3s and M4s the whole day (these were all equipped w/ DCT, the Competition Package, and Carbon Ceramic brakes). There is so much more to actual high performance

They take the most direct way of explaining things too, instead of always going in a roundabout way. Their design decisions do not leave anything to be desired and you're never left scratching your head as to why anyone would ever buil

IMO the idea of secrecy equating to professionalism is _the_ problem with many things. "Information wants to be free." It's also more personable, especially to those who use their product - to me, it shows they're on top

In tech, I think it will be a lot sooner than in few decades. I think things will change at such a rapid pace that we can't even accurately predict what will be the new normal in a few decades, particularly in tech. Also, we must also
