That’s pretty much SOP in the computer industry.

It’s really no different than processor binning. There’s no difference between the 3Ghz model and the 3x more expensive 4Ghz model beyond a lock that specifies the maximum multiplier. Tesla used to have a 60kWh battery pack, and decided it was cheaper logistically to get rid of that production line and just software…

Every single warehouse I’ve ever been to. The operators only work off their own individual incentive metric for their bonus. The line stops, but they’re still going to keep doing their individual process, which in turn gums up the line further down and causes more stoppages. They never correlate their continued…

Line workers should be responsible for operations within their little isolated bubble. There’s no reason to expect them to be trained or equipped to handle any more complex maintenance than clearing some debris from a sensor.

As someone who also designs industrial control systems, I love hearing worker on process 103A tell me how the system I wrote works. I’ll listen to maintenance, since they’re the ones that actually have to keep the system running, but the only thing I typically learn from the line operators is what stupid shit they’re…

The ones I’ve driven don’t start the engine back up until you put your foot on the gas.

The start-stop system in the Buick Envision rental was so poorly tuned that it’d spin the tires upon waking the engine back up if your natural response to the throttle pedal doing nothing is to add more throttle.

So it’s a Rally Fighter, for people who don’t want to be bothered to help build it, and want a nice interior, and don’t actually intend to go off road...

He’s just tripping acid.

Most states/counties have a sensible formula they use to determine the number of accessible stalls required based on the population of people using the facility

Last time I had a Sentra, it had some weird turbulence shedding issues in a crosswind. I made a loud buffeting noise coming off the A-pillar and pulled hard. I was completely expecting the axle bearing to fail, and to see the right front wheel start rolling down the highway at any moment. It doesn’t help that…

Why not just paint one up black and white, strap a loudspeaker on top, and have it drive over a bridge? Besides, don’t Nazis drive Ford wagons?

Well that’s the thing. Whose responsibility is it to secure the body?However you spin it, it still sounds like the EMTs/police are at fault for allowing an employee near the body. 

No. Just no. Dont even try to compare anything using nonsense units like gallons of electricity.

Those cables are plenty sufficient. They just need to be moved in about six feet from the edge.

Opposing traffic impacting at 30mph is like impacting at 30mph. There is no summation of energy unless there is a mass or strength imbalance.

The public, and particularly the woman who had BMWs rain down upon her, has a case against the parking structure. This particular woman deserves nothing. She most certainly does not deserve the proceeds from punitive damages, and neither do her lawyers.

There’s a huge difference between 5mph coasting, and 5mph at full throttle.

We can’t fathom just how quickly our brains can process information. We just only have conscious access to a small fraction of what’s going on in the background.

The conveyor belt ever so slightly reduced takeoff velocity by providing a boundary layer of moving air.
