What legal basis is there for a car to behave differently during an emissions test? Its not like it has to machine learn which jurisdiction its in to tune its emissions, they know which region its going to be sold in and can make the approp

Horse and cart never worked all that well, to the point that long distance travel by land was extremely rare. Deep ruts would form in the dirt roadways and mud would cause constant obstruction. It was easier sail around South America than

A routine to detect the exact circumstances of the government emissions test, including the amount of times the steering wheel was moved was needed to fine tune the engine? Its just not credible.

Its really sad they don't have any that allow you to use a front panel. Even their IMSAI 8080 has a plexiglass cover over the switches. I understand why they do it, but I think front panel computing is something that will be lost with

You aren't going to have time to resolve everyone's concerns in one large meeting. One on ones are better for hashing out the idea and looking for compromises. Usually there is not some other person you are directly competing agai

The same reason scotch whisky needs to be from Scotland despite perfectly good whisky coming from elsewhere. It's social signaling which is the bulk of what you pay for in a luxury good.

Unless they've solved the burn in issues that isn't going to last very long. TVs show static images less often so it's easier to work around there.

The height of the antenna would give away the frequency. But the soviets had good spy penetration into the US industrial base so it's likely they already knew anyways.

Sorry you had that experience. There are certainly cases where this advice is not appropriate and moving on is the right thing. However accusing people you don't know of being a bad manager (especially when they aren't even a man

To me a cache is actually the inverse data structure of a bloom filter. A bloom filter will return whether something is in a set with potential false positives but never false negatives. A cache will return whether something is in a set but

I think its more that the US was not directly at war with him, and thus the propaganda dollars were spent targeting Hitler.

I've only ever been an IC. It's interesting you assumed I was a manager. I've learned the tricks to get almost total freedom at work and wanted to share. Quid pro quo is the name of the game in business. You have to give som

No that's not what "ask for forgiveness later" means in this context. It means you are breaking the rules and know you are doing so - however you think the net outcome is worth it. Doing this consistently and not getting fi

I didn't focus on OP because he already knows what he wants. Most people need help emphasizing with the other person not with their own wants/desires and compromise requires empathy. There are situations where someone is being o

From the manager's POV, OP wants an exception to some policy (written or unwritten). If you want to get away with exceptions you need more than the normal adversarial relationship. There is a larger argument about whether you should e

The whole post is really about understanding what the boss wants, but #3 is something more specific so I want to iterate more on it: A lot of people want to help their boss and have a reciprocal relationship. But the mere desire is not eno

If you focus on this at the point where you aren't getting what you want its too late. You need to build a relationship of trust before you ask for an exception or special request (in the eye of the manager not you). Your manager shou

There is more information in Success. If the likelihood of success is very small you've potentially found at least some causal factor to help succeed - the needle in a haystack. If you fail you've found one of the million reasons

You could argue the market is efficient and therefore always trades at the intrinsic value - on average. This view has more following among economists. Although if your CEO happens to also be the most legendary stock picker of our time then

He did by creating MINIX. His loss to Linux was not from an unwillingness to get his hands dirty and build something.

754 has won, as has little endian. Even PowerPC has switched. There are IBM mainframes still being made but even they are now bi-endian because they know they've lost the war.

The problem is that tariffs aren't the only point of contention. Agriculture is heavily subsidized by both countries. If you focus solely on tariffs you aren't going to succeed in creating a level playing field.

Even Canadians are pretty much against the dairy protectionism. But the NAFTA agreement never hinged on dairy - its all about the 5 year sunset clause which would stop cross border investment and make the agreement all but useless. That of

My startup is doing work in this area (more SPMD than traditional single thread CPU). We work with FPGAs to get the incredible costs of ASIC manufacture down so we can get our prototypes out there. For the specific workloads we target we

Unfortunately doing so would be extremely difficult. Good quality Linear MOSFETS are decreasing in availability as everyone (including the analogue guys) switch to using them in saturation mode. There are exceptions but by virtue of being

The price leveled out, the last few years of employee options expired out of the money. New employees got stock grants instead and the stock was stagnant in a narrow range for a decade.
