HN discussionActually, it was a mix. Robert Bosch did not trust his family or board to run a sustainable business for long, but he also really was having some altruistic ideals. [0] https://www.bosch.com/stories/origin-robert-bosch-stiftung/

HN discussionI remember stumbling across a bunch of pictures of Bosch getting a brand new IBM System/370-165 mainframe circa 1970 that were pretty great. I especially liked how all the IBM installers were doing manual labor with their ties on. link: https://www.bosch.com/stories/ibm-mainframe-computer-history... but I swear I saw more pictures somewhere.

on “Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2019)”The problem nowadays is that pragmatism and conservatism are a victim of popular propaganda and emotional overreactions. My theory about this is based on economic and societal differences between countries. In high developed countries, with functioning or semi-functioning social security systems, people can afford to think more liberally even in socialistic views. For underdeveloped countries, especially Eastern Eur…

on “Tesla envy grips Germany’s giants”Volvo, Citroen and many others besides extensively adopted the Bosch fuel injection system and those cars performed better and were more fuel efficient than their equivalents without. Quite a few of them still run today, the big difference in price is what held back faster adoption more than anything else. I've worked on those systems, they were clearly a game changer, incremental improvements got us to where we are…

on “Superseded Theories in Science”> Generator attached to the flywheel instead of the starter motor, and then find some way to squeeze a drive motor by the rear diff (probably more complicated, but surely not impossible). Some vehicles have this as a “battery starter generator” where the “hybrid” functionality is entirely on the accessory belt. https://www.bosch.com/stories/48v-hybrid-battery/ https://hackaday.com/2025/01/24/bosch-starter-motor-free…

on “Show HN: I replaced a $120k bowling center system with $1,600 in ESP32s”Oh, Bosch makes all kinds of things. Bosch's logo is something like a sparkplug (the thing used in internal combustion engines). To this day, the 'mobility' division is the biggest one. See https://www.bosch.com/stories/creation-of-the-bosch-logo/ Decades ago I actually had an offer to work for them as a research student working on optimising internal combustion engines.
