In the Netherlands it is a prefix, at the beginning.

Building technology might be actually kind of easy compared to finding product-market fit. The latter might be better described as "sales team - network - existing practices - existing monopolies - adoptation rate - product iteration speed - right region" fit.


Retrospective questions would also be really great. Why did the lights not turn off downstairs this night? Or other questions involving history.


This is a really great use for AI. Hits a big pain point.


Through voltage glitching isn't it? Which rev protects against it? Must be quite new.


Yes, this fix was mentioned in IN-142 from Nordic.


If this article is concerned about ethics at IBM https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_and_the_Holocaust might be an interesting read for people who haven't yet.


How many of those people still work at IBM, do you suppose?


I came to post the same thing.


I guess an even closer neighbor is the sun.


Yeah - casually ruling out the moon and sun in the article's first sentence feels a bit underhanded. Beyond pedantry, what's the point of the "Planets Only" sign?


Not as close as the moon.


But not as high as maybe dirigibles or zeppelins or lightbulbs. And maybe clouds.

I'm sorry. I'm not sure what happened to me there.


Makes me think of firebreaks. What are the equivalents of firebreaks in the sector?


The Fed acting as a backstop, essentially (like they did after Lehman in 2008)


I think this should be launched in Europe first. Fuel is more expensive. Regulations on how long to drive are strict.

And with 400 miles it's already that far that you're not anymore in the country I live in (the Netherlands).


This is a poor design for Europe which has limits on the length of the tractor and trailer combined. Anybody using this tractor in Europe will have to use a shorter trailer.


Does this person respect certain people in their environment? Why, on what basis?

It seems something makes this person tick but it hasn't been figured out what that is.

It's not about the contents of those disagreements. It's about them not being in a collaborative mode. It might be lack of creativity, lack of autonomy, lack of perceived excellence.

Just my two cents with the little info I got here.


I think there's a use case for all kinds of price levels, but there's a sweet spot.

Anecdotally. I bought a 3D printer when it dropped below 1000 bucks. I bought the Emotiv Epoc when at 300 bucks. I bought a Saleae logic analyser at the same price level if I remember correctly. Same with other tools or toys. The HackRF, the Kinect, the Quest, etc.

The higher the price the more you'll have to explain to people how they can justify the costs. You'll have to explain how much personnel hours are being saved, etc.

The more I'm in this space (of manufacturing electronic devices) the more I'm convinced Bill of Material (BOM) and in general Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) optimization is essential. Companies that can do this in a lean manner without excessive engineering costs to do so can truly drive the price down.

If there is this operational excellence, then you can truly give most power to your strategists in the sales and marketing departments. Otherwise, they have no tradeoffs to consider and are just victims of sloppy (non-cost conscious) engineering.
