Changing it could mean they made the wrong decision in the first place, which could make Important People lose face by possibly being at fault. Of course, they could try to present things in a different way, but potentially inviting criticism by rectifying mistakes isn't going to be looked upon warmly unless the people involved are all dead or out of favor.
It's also not exclusive to China/authoritarian countries. Plenty of European countries have de-facto decriminalized cannabis by rarely enforcing laws on possession (I'm reminded of how often I saw people openly smoking weed on the street in Berlin years ago), yet politicians don't want to be the one to stick their neck out and say that the war on drugs failed or cosign the use of a particular substance -- even if their electorate largely would agree with them.
The channel "Reporting From Ukraine" posts frequent videos providing updates in the Russia-Ukraine war. Supporters of Russia have long been trying to shut it down by weaponising the Report button and it seems they have finally succeeded with the channel now scheduled for deletion along with all the channels that features translated videos.
They seem to be unable to get in contact with a human at Google with authority to investigate and evaluate things outside of the mighty algorithm so we are going to lose a valuable resource.
> The Japanese Shinkansen N 700 records the maximum value for Wheel-Rail systems at speeds up to 300 km/h. At a constant speed of 300 km/h, it has a specific energy consumption of 28 Wh/Pl/km (Watt hours per seat and per kilometre)
A train can carry 1,300 passengers depending on the number of cars.
This VW solution really is worst of both worlds, as these are capacitive surfaces with printed symbols. So you cannot really iterate on them post-release.
Automotive grade, smart touch screens are not that cheap. And all the do is allowing for lazy development and the release of pre-Beta software if used the way they currently are.
It is decidedly not. First, the environmental conditions, heat, cold, vibrations, sun (just ask Tesla how those cheap non-automotive grade screen did). Second, if the screen is just used to capture input and display atuff, sure it is stupid. A lot aren't so as they include some computing power.
But hey, good luck sourcing your parts for serial car manufacture, or anything even remotely serious in a commercial environment, from Alibaba... What's your alternate source of choice, Wish or Temu?
That fact your reply to a comment about having a structured way to fire someone could be called a "performance improvement plan or PIP for short" is hilarious to me.
It seems you have accepted that PIPs are just a tool to fire someone but still think calling it a PIP is perfectly logical and desirable to the point that you snarkily suggest that this is what it should be called.
I don't know about your situation, but at every company I've ever worked for, firing a report for performance reasons requires the employee to first be placed on a PIP. Call it whatever you want, but in most cases (from both the employee and manager perspective), a PIP is not designed with the intent that the employee should remain at the company.
> E.g. during the work on the Eurotunnel. Here the British tunnel boring machine was diverted into the rock near half the length of the tunnel and left there. It was cheaper than somehow taking it out again.
Has it happened in DCS in the past? I know of the instance where an Eagle Dynamics employee got nabbed due to possessing documents but I don't know of an instance where a community member has posted docs publicly.
ED has clamped down on it. Now if you post something and can't prove it's from an unlimited distribution source BigNewey will delete your post pretty much immediately. I typically see that stuff on community Discords where the volunteer mods have a longer reaction time.
For some context, this is a Titanfall reference. Part of the story in Titanfall 2 is a pilot getting ejected by a mech against the pilots wishes. I'll refrain from saying more as to avoid spoiling too much.
I don't think so but it would be an embarrassment for the government to admit it no longer serves a use and such an action would be anathema to them.
