iDeal is working on international expansion, so it may become available in other European places. The main downside of iDeal for consumers is that it's irreversible. If you pay and then never receive the product, you can't get you

Hetzner.de has 1 gbps unlimited or 10 gbps with a 20TB limit on their bare metal servers. And those can be bought very cheap if you don't need any special hardware.

They've used the UK regulators as a very convenient excuse. But realistically the problem is that Google's DoubleClick has a monopoly on both sides of the ad marketplace. If that wasn't the case, the regulators would not have

Google is offering a free browser, while making a good browser costs money. They are subsidising that by their huge ad-business. And by no surprise, their browser is the only major one that has no privacy protection features and last month

On one side I understand why a minority owned/driven company would use that positioning as a marketing advantage, and they have every right to do so. But on the other hand I think doing company positioning around gender, race etc is a

The general opinion in professional flying is that the pilot and operator (for something like Airhart the owner would be both I guess?) decision making has an immense impact on safety. You don't typically have a two sided crash where s

It's the opposite. Usually babies don't eat any food at 4 months. They only get breastmilk or formula. The advice is to start early with peanutbutter and egg. In our case diary products were an issue instead of nuts. My daughter w

Yes that's part of the advice in the Netherlands as well. Keep giving them things that can be common allergies. My 4 year old's favourite food is shrimp and sushi... Not sure whether it's related to her eating those when she

Oh wow, are nuts banned from US schools? Never heard of that in NL or UK. The only food requests we get from daycare and primary school are to provide healthy snacks for birthday celebrations instead of sugary. And that's a friendly re

In the not too distant future the basic CRUD-development for boring enterprise apps is going to be done by AI models. You only need a human to write the prompts and review the output. That human may become less and less technically skilled

Adobe is trying hard to become the next Oracle. Shit products combined with predatory license practices.

The support most organisations need is security updates for older versions. The free OpenJDK forks provide longer term security updates for their releases. Oracle uses a more tricky setup. Every LTS release and its updates, but only until 1

I think the idea is that employees make most money from the profits paid to them as owners, instead of an increase in the stock price and then selling.

For airlines there are separate risk assessments for flight ops and revenue ops. If the website fails, that costs a lot of money, but nobody is in danger. If dispatch systems fail that has a safety risk to flight ops. While you may not be h

Has anyone looked into their terms and conditions? Usually any resulting damage from software malfunctioning is excluded. Only the software itself being unavailable may be an SLA breach. Typically there would also be some clauses where CS i

KLM was flying, but all flights pass through Schiphol Airport (it's their hub) and Schiphol couldn't board fights for a while. Because of that they ran out of gates for arriving flights, so everyone had to cancel flights to avoid

At most places there is an iPad app that does the calculation locally. So it's mostly entering a lot of numbers and checking that the results make sense. Usually both crew members do it individually, and then cross check the results.

It's morning here in Europe, departure peak time. We're still flying, but... The problems mean the takeoff and weight & balance data is missing. It needs to be done manual by each crew. Baggage handling is also manual, so that

Some airlines fly the 777 and 787 mixed by the same crews. It's not a full different type rating in that case.

Not a certification limit, but you need valid performance data to be allowed to take off. So if the data is only provided up to 50 C / 122 F, then you can't take off legally at 128 F.

Heat has two problems for helicopters and airplanes that combined cause much reduced performance. Simplified: Hot air is less dense meaning we get less lift at the same power/speed. And hot air reduces engine performance, making it har

Don't swimming courses have a test at the end? That's how it works in the Netherlands. Kids get level A first, then B etc. They must pass the test at the end. Level A is basically normal above water swimming. B requires certain di

Indeed. All the pools around here that I've been to have a simple rule: All kids old enough to walk and unable to swim must wear (not just hold) floatation devices at all times. Also when not in the water. And also when in shallow wate

They may be thinking about CS 25.109 in EASA? It specifies how the accelerate stop distance is calculated. That calculation assumes: "the pilot takes the first action to reject the take-off at the V1" so there is no 2 seconds to d

by t0mas88 2y ago
I know. Except that V1 by definition cannot be higher than Vr. You can't decide to abort (which you have to do for an engine failure below V1) after you've started rotation. Same for V2, it cannot be lower than V1 or Vr. So if tha

That 8ft shoulder they're constructing is close to what we would call a normal road in the Netherlands... 9ft is the size of a 50 mph type road between cities here. Only highways are wider.
