Anime Store Adventure posted:This made me laugh out loud because I’ve worked for two product dev companies and keeping SKUs low if at all possible has been a fairly high level ask/demand at both in wildly different industries, lmao. I guess it’s not surprising that there’s people out there demanding the opposite but still, lol. This was like 10 years ago where having a big SKU mix was something that was legitimately talked about in retail, you're right the exact opposite is true now. Its all very loving dumb because SKU count really means gently caress all, its just an incredibly blunt and bad method to measure out how complex your product mix is and transplant your own ideas onto that without ever having to learn what actually is going on in your business.

Did you work for someone who went through the "we need to do big data!" phase when actually all they needed was maybe some dashboards and not to be recording absolute trash quality metrics?

Hi yeah. I work for a life insurance company and we now have a data analytics team in addition to the hundreds of incompetent actuaries we employ, people get pissy when I tell them I wouldn't buy our own company's stock lol

People in my company noticed that our ancient, lovely reporting script only reliably ran after a reboot, so they suggested forcing every computer to reboot weekly so we'd have recent data. I wish I was kidding.

The Patrick Lencioni books and Good to Great were the only business books worth a drat when I was in the corporate world. Of course, management abandoned them because all the stuff they suggested was too hard. Little charts and graphs and buzz words were easier. Something something lol Alpine.

wicka posted:DTS does not bolster the sport. DTS temporarily increases viewership by virtue of attracting a bunch of temporary casual fans, most of whom will stop watching once they realize the DTS drama is fake and most of the races are pretty boring. It's already happening: in the US, every race's TV ratings have been down compared to 2023. These casual fans will nonetheless be heavily catered to by FOM (see: Miami and Vegas, potentially rotating the actually good tracks in Europe), and in doing so they will turn off many long-time fans as well, meaning the sport will eventually be in an even worse place that it was prior to DTS.

Fodder Cannon posted:They don’t even go vroom the right way anymore! Ive always been kinda curious about this, but i dont want to fall into the trap of asking a question in good faith then get accused of being one of those "HEY IM JUST ASKING QUESTIONS BUT REALLY IM BEING lovely!" people Does the engines going from the V12s/10s/8s back in the day to the 6 cylinder hybrids genuinely have an environmental impact or is it more "we want to set an example?" I cant imagine that 20 racecars reducing a few cylinders per car and integrating hybrid systems has any sort of impact on the environment, which leads me to believe its a "we want to set a positive example thing". But F1 cars are built only to race, they arent sold to the public, so is it just optics? Or is it that the hybrids are just capable of performing better or have a racing advantage? It seems to me like itd be better to keep the V10/12s everyone loves on the cars themselves and then invest money into making the logistics and production aspect of F1 greener/more environmentally friendly, which from my understanding is the big issue where it comes to hurting the environment: that way fans and drivers get to see the cars they love and the part of F1 that is seriously impacting the environment would also be reduced. Id really appreciate responses that just tell me if I made any incorrect assumptions or explain it to me, rather than anything snarky. It felt kinda lovely when I asked about Lewis's fashion because I liked it then another poster interpreted my post as homophobic and calling Lewis flamboyant. But then someone else actually assumed I was asking in good faith and explained it which I really appreciated so im hoping someone can do the same for my questions above. I'm autistic so it's difficult to communicate on forums sometimes asking a question or wanting something explained without people assuming im a CHUD but i do appreciate these forums bc usually someone will take the time to take the questions seriously.

IIRC the shift into smaller turbo engines with hybrid systems and batteries was to make it so that engine constructors could have a reason to bother being an F1 supplier, as it made the things they were developing relevant to their road cars. If the F1 spec was for an NA V10 you'd end up with having to do a deal to get a single supplier to bother making it, the money just isn't there to throw around since 2008. Any environmental claims that F1 put out is greenwashing, it's all complete bollocks that using "100% sustainable fuels*" in the cars themselves is somehow relevant when compared to the thousands of miles of air freight that is needed to deliver a season.

F1 engines are produced by road car companies and most of them want those engines to be vaguely comparable to road car engines for marketing purposes. It makes little sense to build a gas guzzling V12 racing engine when you're only in the sport to advertise cars that are marketed based fuel efficiency and such. The V6 is actually a compromise, Renault heavily pushed for a 4 cylinder but Ferrari refused, because they are the only engine manufacturer the above doesn't really apply to. But even supercars are heavily into hybrids these days.

i guess i can believe that stat about the v6 turbo hybrids being the most thermally efficient internal combustion engines ever built (maybe that's just in cars or something though) but of course "more efficient" is far from the same as sustainable/good for the environment/etc

Get all that performance you can out of them liquid dinosaur bones.

Zedd posted:That is true IIRC, especially due to the hybrid energy recovery and stuff. Exhaust systems effect performance, theyre not loud for the sake of pure volume, though that is certainly part of the spectacle/appeal. I was shocked at how quiet the V6 hybrids are in person tho. Didnt even need earplugs like I do at NASCAR and IMSA and NHRA (the latter of which is just deafening but again especially in drag racing thats part of the spectacle)
