Financial Times: Can Automakers Catch Up with Google in Driverless Cars?

Can Automakers Catch Up with Google in Driverless Cars?

General Motors celebrated being the world’s largest carmaker for the 76th straight year in 2007. It was sitting on $25 billion in cash. Eighteen months later, it was bankrupt. The automotive industry is among the most capital intensive in the world: If the economy sours, assets turn into liabilities overnight as factories churning out thousands of cars begin to hemorrhage cash. So when toxic mortgage securities blew up in 2008, causing a recession, banks performed terribly — but carmakers fared even worse. (Article originally appeared in Financial Times)

AzureDevOps Collaborative Remote Debugging with OzCode

The rise of microservices and containers, cloud-hosted CI/CD systems and serverless platforms give developers more opportunities to build rich and powerful services. But debugging those services is becoming increasingly complicated, and as deployment frequency goes up the mean time to recovery from problems tends to go up. Part of that is the complexity of the environment and the time it takes to deploy a developer environment that accurately mimics the production environment.

Moving terabytes or even petabytes of data to the cloud is a daunting task. But it is important to look beyond the number of bytes. You probably know that your applications are going to behave differently when accessed in the cloud, that cost structures will be different (hopefully better), and that it will take time to move all that data. Because my company, Data Expedition, is in the business of high-performance data transfer, customers come to us when they expect network speed to be a problem.

Meanwhile, the headset industry noticed the advantages of ANC with its enhanced listening experience to differentiate from commodity headsets. Since ANC was a niche market to the semiconductor industry, the typical technical implementations used to be discrete with stand-alone headphone amplifiers, operational amplifiers, and microphone pre-amplifiers.
