Who is going to look at that stuff apart from technicians? Most users have no clue how the functionality of their vehicle is achieved and they don’t care.

For argument’s sake, let’s assume there is a userbase for this type of information. It would be possible to show diagnostic information like DTC or run DID routines from the dashboard but this is already possible from any cheap offboard tester, via a phone app or laptop.

The reality is that even if an OEM wanted to provide detailed diagnostic information, they don’t know it either because the information isn’t disclosed by their supply chain. Companies such as Bosch, who supply brake ECU, are extremely tight lipped about their intellectual property. When something goes wrong we use a special development version of the ECU to record the associated software variables during the fault and present that as evidence but we don’t have access to the source code.

Modern products are not designed to be repaired. They want us to continually buy new shit. Basically anything with software in it is an absolute nightmare to maintain. It makes me depressed just thinking about what a clusterfuck this landscape is.

The pig looks tight ngl

A medical doctor is a well regarded and well numerated profession. They are pillars of society. They are trusted and revered in a way that teachers rarely are. The status of a doctor in the field of computer science or engineering is not much more than someone with a common or garden degree. Nobody knows what a research question is or how science is advanced. Everyone knows House and Grays Anatomy. Fuck those fake doctors with their models and predictive power. We don’t revere truth tellers, we revere celebrity. We want dat bedside rizz. That’s how Dr Shipman killed us. That’s why Professor Nutt was fired from his post.

Article One

Why is it that people sneer at non-medical doctors? Far more fraud is committed by the bois with stethoscopes around their shoulders. People be falling for that bedside rizz and getting played like a fiddle.

Dude

They get sick pleasure from inflicting stupid fastener design on their users?

It would be easier to do if they came down with a mystery illness.

On the other hand when women complain about threats from stalkers the police do nothing. You might as well delete the word justice from this criminal justice system.

The point is that the fork has been traumatised and it transfers that trauma to your food by the magic of homeopathy or something.

Turns out the laws of physics and geometry are the same everywhere.

Notepad++ is also great for searching text strings in many documents and collating the results in a single window.

The same threat that democracy faces, it’s vulnerable to charismatic people who become entrenched and draconian. I’m not convinced it can ever work without some competing force that resists the consolidation of power, such as highly educated and politically involved populace.

Communism probably works at smaller scales but for larger populations it would only be feasible when the leadership is benevolent. A robot administrator would be an interesting experiment.

The situation where a candidate is rejected because they don’t have relevant experience is often decided by people who don’t have that experience either. The last thing I want is a job where I immediately know how to do it. That’s often the reason to leave - it’s boring and not a challenge any more.

The market is probably flat right now and that’s the reason there’s no jobs. You have to hang in there for a bit and wait for an upturn.

I’ve been wondering the same thing. Is it something to do with our lifespan, cognitive biases, political arrangements or what? We can read about things that happened in living memory and still make the same mistakes. Seems like some things change rapidly, e.g. computers, and some things change on a glacial timescale e.g. religion.

You need to find someone you trust. There’s no technology that can prevent someone disclosing data if it’s their job to work with that data.

If you treat people with respect and pay them well, you will be amazed at what they give back. Especially autistic people, they tend to have high personal integrity.

Makes sense from a financial point of view. I tend to do extensive research before a big purchase and wouldn’t want to be changing cars too often.

From an energy and pollution point of view it makes sense to buy quality and maintain the vehicle over a long time period.

It’s tricky at the moment because we are transitioning to electric powertrains and these vehicles are not comparable to internal combustion.

America still behaves like it’s in the colonial era. It is the country that has been invading sovereign nations, sabotage and economic warfare. Nobody likes a bully.

At first sign of calamity immediately stock up on toilet paper.

Hitler also carried out everything he campaigned on. It’s the appeal of a populist strongman, they actually do what they say they’re gonna do.

The problematic part was all the extra stuff he didn’t mention. When he said he would deal with the Jewish problem few people understood how far he would go. He was also beholden to big business despite his apparently socialist posturing.
