got any link on this?
I am O type and I think I got the virus last week (I live in a virus hot spot in Europe). I just got a mild fever though and my wife got infected 3 days later, she had the same symptoms.
We fell we still have it because now we both cannot smell things, and my wife has cannot taste anything.
Firstly because JD is the biggest manufacturer, and is also american.
Secondly because the JD dealer network in the US. Waiting 2 weeks to get a part shipped from Europe/Japan while you are in the middle of the harvest season is a real show stopper.
It will take a huge effort to gain market share for a newcomer, and JD can always update their SW to remove DRM if they loose too much to a competitor.
It looks like you are looking for the V-Model development process used in the industry (e.g. automotive).
A typical requirement in this model is handled like this:
1. the high level specification define what is the change about (e.g. implement a hillholder function).
2. architecture phase: you identify which part/module of the system are impacted by the high level requirement. You define what each part will do and you specify how they interface.
3. detailed design phase: each part is formally specified, in the automotive industry we typically use Model based development (Simulink) to specify this phase.
4. implementation: actual coding being done, if you use Simulink this is done by the Simulink/dSpace. A unit test is then performed to check that the detailed design from part 3 has been correctly done.
5. Integration and test: all parts are collected and compiled, and we look that the interfaces are matching.
6. System test: all parts are now tested together against the specifications done in the architecture phase (part 2) and part 1
In the automotive industry, each step can be done by a different person/team/company thus the documentation done in each phase is extremely important to avoid finger pointing in case a problem is detected after delivery.
Ah okay. So PLM systems would be used to store and manage the requirements, the requirement documents are going to be, at least in my corner of the world... Word and/or Excel templates.
Which is only narrow subset of what PLM system does. PLM is generally about tracking what data artifacts (drawings, manufacturer datasheets and so, formal specifications are somewhat secondary to that) are relevant for given assembly and how such subassemblies fit together on high level.
Yes, that's much more of what I am aware of in the context of PLM. As I wrote in a sibling comment, I'm interested in improving the storage and representation of the requirements/spec itself...
Right, and this is actually exactly the area that I am interesting in improving: providing a canonical, systematic way to store and represent the actual requirements & specifications, and provide ways to feed into other software such as PLM or project management, etc.
In France when you work you have to pay a percentage of your salary for the national healthcare to cover you and your family. This national healthcare reimburse you about 60 to 80% of the bills depending on the type of treatment. The remainder is paid by a private healthcare that your employer is chosing and paying for you. The difference between the many private healthcare is usually the amount reimbursed for dental treatment and eyeglasses.
If you have no work, there is an universal healthcare to cover you, but you cannot get fancy glasses or good tooth implant.
The prices are regulated by deciding the amount reimbursed by the national healthcare for each medical act. The private healthcare reimbursement are based on these prices. Doctors are free to ask more money, but you are going to pay the delta.
Savings are mainly achieved by having both sick and healthy people paying. Also, the fact that any medical treatment is basically free encourages you to see your doctor everytime you are beginning to be sick, preventing complications leading to a stay in hospital.
Note also that many private healthcare are mutual insurance which are lowering the rates if there is a profit.
