    So we have a democratic VP that is pro TPP and has no problem with Americans that can't find jobs.

    We have a GOP candidate's daughter that more or less pitched parental rights, and they applauded it. Then a GOP candidate that came out against TPP. WTF is going on with this race.

    The problem isn't technically how to do it. It's how to do it within the confines of what space is available on the car.

    Poke around a modern car, truck or heavy equipment and it's 'full'. Had VW done it properly the first time the floor pan of the car would have likely had a completely different shape than what was shipped.

    They had to find a solution that worked and worked on the car's dimensions as it shipped.

    If you don't even manufacture in China it's hard for them to get your IP. I bet she went for the cheapest person that could injection mold her idea and didn't think about what would happen once they had the designs.

    I highly doubt that they would import a product made at some local shop to reverse engineer it and start making clones.

    It's one of the most frustrating things about watching a kickstarter fail because they decided to go to China. When I'm developing a new tool or idea I have a much better response time with a local shop. I can swing by after going to the bank, just tell them in my own English words exactly what I want done and they'll likely be able to do it. How many kickstarters have a "Sorry about the Delay, prototype .... was delayed because apparently there's a New Year in china". What takes a Week locally usually takes 4-6 months with Chinese transit time.

    She chose to make it as cheap as possible and got her initial $700k for one year as a result. She could have either charged more or cut revenue to manufacture locally and had a business that lasted 5-10+ years.

    Self interest is only a small part of the equation. You also have to have access to the tools and documentation. I'm a terrible self learner. I tried and failed to learn many other languages through 'self learning' and it went nowhere. (I still have a Cocoa and Objective-C book on my shelf that never went past the first 5 pages). I, along with others like me, need a more hands on approach. It took me ~5 years to get to the same level of proficiency with PHP as I had with Matlab because of that.

    However I do agree that the curriculum needs to change a bit, don't tell people what they can do with Python. Ask them what they like to do and show them how they can use Python (or any language) to accomplish that. I have a shop out in the garage. I got sick of measuring wood to be cut so I used Python, Smoothie Board, stepper motor and now my Miter saw measures its own wood. (And once I get the mechanics figured out will cut it too).

    My miter saw now has a flask front end with API. I can sit in my house and have it measure off wood to be cut. I don't think I've ever seen a Python example that told me I could do that. It started off with "What do I want to do... and how do I get Python to do it for me".
