It depends on the confinement, the overcrowding of industrial production may be unadaptable. There are still enough instincts programmed that unfamiliar males would rather avoid each other.
I do not beleive that industrial breeding is selecting for anything that makes such prison life tolerable. Birds in production generally aren't reproducing, so nothing in the henhouse is affecting evolution.
In these places, this is a great thing to avoid. Old software is well known. You do not want to be the one to be affected by a bug that stops production or changes data.
> mainframes have remained stagnant in features
Having a well known universe without any beta software, and not being disrupted by new stuff that you don't need anyway, is a damn good feature.
Writing off all the big computer shop stuff as irrelevant means you throw away all the experience and best practices and will be repeating the mistakes people made 50 years ago. And maybe reinvent some wheels too.
A computer center is your best resource for observing and learning how to build computer services, deploy them, and keep them available. And for knowing what experienced computing people and their customers expect.
And some of the stuff you do today is descended from here:
You probably wrote this comment in a program that displays forms, and allows you to fill in forms and call up other forms. This is how the 3270 terminal worked.
Maybe you have some hypervisor running somewhere. Welcome to 1970s IBM. We don't want to rewrite our 360 stuff so we will emulate the 360 in its own sandbox.
Saddest part of these things, when they come into general awareness one way or another, they are so out of tune with the universe that the public hail them as new "technology." The ideas are old, it's only some new implementation or circumstance that's novel.
In the US, yea, inspections aren't universal, but the only inspection program I know of that has been scrapped was Florida's. I think there are more operating inspection regimes than defunct ones, even if you can cheat some of them. This also seems to be an anomaly among developed countries.
Rust that's more than superficial can lead to structural failure, and improper crash repairs can cause this. These are definitely situations that leave the vehicle in a lesser state of crashworthiness.
A compromised exhaust frequently leads to more exhaust entering the cabin.
This gets into the roots of my socialist beliefs as caring for our injured comrades brings us all down. There are always better things to send effort and resources to than dealing with the loss of productivity, the costs to deal with whatever damage, and misery of loved ones.
> It seems Tesla is deliberately ignoring or trying to squash the aftermarket/custom-car culture
This culture ("F your emissions controls," "I the lay blue collar know better than the committes of degreed engineers who designed the thing") has never cared about safety, nor has the aftermarket ("fitness for purpose, engineering, warranty... to hell with all that, the only requirement for our product is that some idiot should buy it")
Improperly repaired and modified cars are a detriment to the safety of others on the road, but wishing the problem away like Tesla is doing is not going to help anything, they need to publish and make accessible the documentation like the real car makers do.
I feel like I am the only person around me who maintains (changes oil, rebuilt carb etc.) equipment and people seem to treat lawnmowers the worst. I swear I think people throw them away because they're out of fuel sometimes.
Ford has been doing this for decades (I think I saw it mentioned in the docs for EEC IV.) It turns off fuel for a cylinder here and there intending to pump heat out of the engine (a cylinder with no fuel is an air pump.)
It doesn't really let you operate with no coolant. Might get you farther before you die if you push it.
When I lived in Russia (2000s) it was quite abundant and seemed to be cheap, it was part of nearly every breakfast that I didn't prepare for myself whether or not there was anything luxurious about the situation.
The foie gras that GP mentioned, is inherently labor intensive to produce and not abundant anywhere.
Think back to the state of the art in the 70s when these were thought up. You can cite SIGSALY[1] but it took a really long time for these concepts to be flyable. AT&T was doing digital telephony terrestrially in the 60s [2] but radio links make this more difficult. Of course things are different today.
You got it. When these birds were thought up, that was state of the art. Two years ago a dude I'm elmering told me he heard brazilians when he was tuning around with his sdr toy, so maybe they are still doing it today.
The uplink freqs are not any that are licensed for any amateur use, these flights are operating between 250-350 MHz.
Last quarter I quit my job at one of the world's largest automakers and for twelve years I've had a small business on the side that serves specialist mechanics of all kinds, so I talk to dealership and indy mechanics all the time. I think you need a lot more experience with automobiles before you are qualified to say such things.
I have a 22 year old 3 and a 26 year old 5. Neither have ever been in the shop for anything but tires. It's not fair or accurate to lump this in the same bucket as vw or mbz. I have bought quite a few parts from the dealer that cost less than $1, like plastic rivets or clips that I broke in the process of getting to something else. Toyota and VW want almost ten bucks for these sometimes. GM won't sell them to you. But my coolant is cheapest at the mbz dealer.
Unlike japanese makes, for anything that people have a need to replace, the original parts are sold on the aftermarket at fair prices. For my toyota, if I want a ball joint, I have to pay three times what it should cost at the dealer parts desk, or deal with junk from the aftermarket - and it's all junk. Datsuns, honda, same boat. Mazda, you're lucky if they even support your car anymore.
Does anyone remember if HP was punished for allowing a reseller to send millions of dollars of computers to Iran? I also saw HP logos on the monitors during footage of a North Korean missile test.
Most likely the common parts will cost less at the BMW counter. Or, original parts on the aftermarket, because Toyota isn't bullying these suppliers and forbidding them from selling on the aftermarket!
Okay, I am in the habit of using pulls, and even some micros have pulls that can be switched in. That may be pointless when there is only one slave on the SPI, as it probably is in the attacked system, as the /CE is probably strapped active so the device will never switch that pin to high Z.
