It's not that that the sucker program manager doesn't have the brains, or at least less so than PMs in other fields. It's that the PMs in automotive are not empowered to say that. There are 7-8 layers of management above them

And on top off that, some product manager at Mercedes might say they absolutely need let's say Atmos in the next release and ask the Tier 1 to implement it. The Tier 1 usually uses multiple Tier 2s. The Tier 2s say they need more memor

Yep, weird, especially when these same companies require more sensible behaviour from users in other jurisdiction in response to laws.

Makes sense. Make me nostalgic for this style of writing that existed in the blogosphere circa 2007.

Some of these seem to be new installs since they're also making the mating ring that goes around it. That mating ring is embedded in concrete. Also, since they seem to have the concept of painted manhole covers, I would imagine that th

Nice try getting your Amazon affiliate link in there! IF you did this by mistake, these are likely someone selling volume license keys from a corporate or a developer account.

iPhones don't even ship with a charger anymore and they definitely did not lower their prices when the decision to leave them out. It's a win-win for them – they can claim to be more environmentally conscious etc. while reducing t

Weird – I have been able to order parts for a client in the UK. I've used it mainly for connector harnesses. I love their connector harnesses and I have standardized all my prototypes around them. It sounds expensive at first, but it&#

Fastenal is good for wholesale, and if you're lucky enough to have a location closeby, you can have it next day or even same day.

There is no substitute for F2F for some types of work. Everyone I know hates flying, even if it is lie-flat. If someone can reduce the pain of flying to UK/Europe and Asia by knocking a few hours off then I would definitely prefer it.

To add to that, some of these features are extremely specialized, and for each feature, 1-2 of the big players might have a huge technical advantage and economies of scale in production and in supplying. This leads to higher barrier to entr

They do however use SoCs for HMI/head-units/carputers now however. The bigger reason is just the nature of automotive development. Every part is developed by a specced or sourced by different teams and outsourced to a different Ti

Why would you say that? There would have been less to lose for Russia since he would have supported any move by Putin as he is doing now.

That article is kinda garbage. I'm no fan of China but this seems like an obvious hit-piece on China. e.g.: > One of those performing the symbolic act was the Chinese cross-country skier Dinigeer Yilamujiang, who is of Uyghur herita
