The article provides a source for the estimation and you don't. And the reasoning why the source is underestimating the true costs sounds plausible to me. Given the harm meltdowns can cause, why is there no mandatory insurance?

"Beleidigt" is quite negative, implying a sense of hurt feelings where none is expected. I don't think this is an adequate general translation for "hurt feelings". Just "verletzt" might work, depending on

How much cheaper / lighter are they -- compared to a real projectile? If they are too "dumb", won't they get recognized as not threatening?

There is a Chrome optimization that already exists and has a similar downside: Taking away processing from unfocussed tabs. Example: Load Google play music. Switch to another tab while it loads. Switch back to music some time later. It only

Dual citizenship is discouraged but I don't think officials would care enough to actually "force" anybody... https://www.dw.com/cda/en/dual-citizenship-granted-to-most-n...

Everybody seems to hate homework here, but for me it seemed like a reasonable way to repeat and "deepen" the things I had learned at school -- and to verify that we had properly understood them. Homework also seemed useful as a pr

Uneconomic when looking at this one single case perhaps -- probably not when looking at the thief's career though. Also, if there is no effort to stop small crimes, that seems to send a very bad signal...

How would you know the projects stay small? Also, if you have to work on small and large projects, and one tool works for both, getting proficient in both tools might just not add enough benefit...

I think there are enough high quality open source or research projects to show that it's not only about the payouts in our field either... One thing I find remarkable in this story: extensively working in the field (=literally/out

Well if mainland China sees Taiwan as a (temporarily lost) "province", why can't it have a flag? Don't other Chinese provinces not have a flag?

I'd recommend to write up what you have tried and what your concrete problems are on stack overflow and to post the link here. There are some quite interesting problems with representation, when to trigger, how to queue up data, how to

I am surprised that they used yahoo pipes as an example for "flow based" programming instead of something a bit more modern such as Node Red (1). My own experience wit trying to design a flow based system for mobile ( http:/&

There were some rumors that Germany giving in here is a high level backroom deal to secure French support for the gas pipeline in the Baltic sea linking Russia and Germany (which the US are opposed to).

To my understanding, the trim wheels are moving frequently for small adjustments -- and it's possible to switch the wheel movement off if this becomes too annoying.

Interesting... Are the commercial flight simulators using an actual physics / aerodynamic model with all the components -- or just empirical data and lookup tables / expectations? I suppose in the latter case, behavior is more lik

Copenhagen is amazing in this regard. I'd recommend to just watch anything from Jan Gehl on Youtube if you're interested in this topic: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=jan+gehl

When I see cockpit videos, the pilots tell each other what they do / run checklists together... Does the MCAS do the same, i.e. announce "stall risk detected, increasing stabilizer trim by 2.5 degree to xx degree"?

IMHO, the most important condition is the need to do different stuff on different (small) subsets of classes, typically combined with a (non-trivial) tree traversal. Otherwise, its more straightforward to add regular virtual methods.

Is it really that much of a paradox? - "Metallicity": We probably need a recent / "Population I" star, i.e. it' s probably unlikely that there can be civilizations much older than us (in astronomical dimensions

I switched to ceramic pans because of these concerns. More sticky than teflon but much better than traditional iron or stell pans.
