This week's top stories include what do U.S. state sales tax changes mean for

your e-commerce business, can Lego go green without sacrificing product

quality and labor conditions improving for Bangladeshi garment workers. Remember

to click the link below for the full stories and two other featured articles.

First up, what do U.S. state sales tax changes mean for your e-commerce

business? As of 2018, state sales taxes are collected on just half of ecommerce

sales. But the Supreme Court's landmark South Dakota versus Wayfarer decision in

June is likely to change this number drastically. For the last 50 years

internet sellers only had to collect sales tax from buyers if the company has

property or employees in the state of sale. The court's ruling doesn't require

ecommerce companies to start collecting sales tax, but it allows individual

states to put such a mandate in place. There are more than 15,000 taxing

jurisdictions in the U.S. And understanding the complex tax laws is no

easy task. Technology has luckily reached a point

where online retailers don't have to figure out individual laws themselves.

Consider using sales tax software to assist with this transition. Why stress

about tax compliance when you can automate it? For example, Avalera helps

more than 20,000 companies globally with tax compliance. Avalera integrates with

your existing systems and automatically makes sales tax decisions on every

purchase. Next up, can Lego go green without

sacrificing product quality? By 2030 Lego wants to build all its toys from

plant-based materials and eliminate dependence on petroleum-based plastics.

The company is striving to reduce its environmental impact amid rising

consumer concern over the use of plastics. But with a product made

entirely from plastics it may be hard to change materials and maintain product

continuity. Lego is facing a common manufacturing challenge. How can you

change an input material in your product without changing the production output?

Consider using a systematic approach involving data collection, reflection and

consistent reassessment for change management. And remember, change can be an

opportunity for growth. Last up, labor conditions are improving for Bangladeshi

garment workers. Bangladeshi garment workers produce more than 30 billion

worth of products for Western retailers annually. But major compliance issues

and a surge of worker unions have pushed some garment manufacturers to

look elsewhere for their production needs. However, the industry's focus on

safety in the past few years is beginning to pay off. And its helped many

factory workers climb out of poverty. After the Rana Plaza collapse, more than

200 companies signed the accord on fire and building safety in Bangladesh. This

is a legally binding, five-year agreement between global brands, retailers and

trade unions. And over the last four years, factory worker salaries have

increased by about 77% in Bangladesh. But challenges persists for all involved in

manufacturing in Bangladesh. Key impediments for further improvements

include political pressure for continued economic growth, factories operating on

thin margins and murky business practices. Those are just the top three

stories from this week. To read the other 2 follow the link in the description

Throttle Response | What's Should You Tune For The Best Result? [HPA Q&A] - Duration: 2:17.

- Dimitri has asked, what's the best way to tune throttle response.

OK so throttle response really requires us to get our transient or acceleration

enrichment tuning spot on.

And this is an area that a lot of tuners really struggle with.

It's not actually that difficult if we understand what we're doing here.

First of all, getting our throttle or acceleration enrichment tuning correct,

relies on starting out with a properly tuned fuel table.

The acceleration enrichment tables in the majority of ECUs,

work as modifiers or multipliers on top of the numbers in our main fuel table.

So if the numbers in our main fuel table aren't right for a start,

there's not way we're gonna get good acceleration response.

So that's our first job.

Once we go through there, what we're going to do is find that

when we move our throttle very quickly, we'll have some tables that allow us

to add additional fuel.

And what we generally find is that as our engine RPM increases and also as our

load increases, in both situations we need a little bit less transient enrichment

as we go through.

So there will generally be a few tables that we can adjust in order to get that

working how we need.

And then what we're doing is adjusting those until we get really

crisp response from the engine.

Now we can look at the air fuel ratio plot, the logging of our air fuel ratio

to help with this.

And this can actually be a little bit misguiding.

While I do use the air fuel ratio data to help tune my transient enrichment,

I'm much more interested in focusing on how the engine actually feels,

that's the much more important job.

So it's quite common that we'll see that once the engine has been tuned

correctly and it's operating really nicely the throttle response is really crisp,

we'll probably still see a slight lean spike followed potentially by a bit

of a rich spike when we do use, add a really sharp amount of

throttle input.
