Very different from BMW and Audi. Those have a huge third party parts market, and independent shops have full access to the car. The official diagnostic software from BMW is available for only $2700 per year. Plug it in, click a few buttons

That 13k to fix the battery pack is the main problem. Repairs on a Tesla are a lot more expensive than repairs on an average car. That makes a used Tesla a less attractive option, and makes any Tesla more expensive to insure. In the long te

You don't need GPS to figure out the correction for this. Inertial navigation systems in aircraft (which use very stabilised platforms with a lot of math involved) worked before GPS was available. It helps to have a rough indication of

Forex would have very little impact. If company earnings are in GBP and that increases relative to USD, the stock price would also increase (in USD) which should lead to roughly the same GBP returns either way.

This is quite a dangerous mindset, pushing for AI weapons with limited constraints: > “I think the future is becoming clearer,” Kendall continued. “I think the only question that really may remain is who’s going to get there first? And w

But not all UUIDS are going into the same "pool". There is no problem if your GPU generates a collision with one of my database identifies, since I only care about my identifiers being unique in my system. For comparison, before U

HF is installed on many airliners, it's mandatory for the North Atlantic routes between the US and Europe. Still checked every flight as a backup to satellite position reporting (which is relatively new)

In general, not related to this event, anything over FL410 (roughly 41,000ft) and closer to the pole than 70 degrees latitude would be considered high altitude and high latitude in the aviation world. Above FL410 is rare, except for busines

Also for normal cars you're supposed to turn off the alarm when parked on a ferry. Most alarm systems don't like the moving / tilting part.

Nice! X-plane also has a great API to do these things with. It was created by NASA for research: https://github.com/nasa/XPlaneConnect

And a big challenge to create all kinds of anti-abuse features that normal users never see. But not having them will quickly kill your site from all kinds of spam and voting fraud.

At their scale you'll run into a few hard things around handling large spikes of load to a single post and related set of comments/votes. But those are not impossible problems to solve. The problem is that you don't have any

This is already mandatory for cars sold in Europe for some years, it's really no big deal. Before that it wasn't mandatory, but I think it was required the be able to get a 5 star safety rating (which all brands want) so it was ve

Safety margins in what you call a 3A cable. And each circuit being fused at a lower 16A, not the 30A that my British house had. Something like 1.5 mm2 (only a 0.5mm diameter) is able to handle 12A if the insulation survives heating up to 60

That doesn't work, the standard endpoint always remains available.

Interesting, tnx. We don't have such a general exception in EASA. Only possible with a special permit and a lot of paperwork for a ferry flight or similar.

by t0mas88 2y ago
That lamp example happens nearly everywhere except the UK, due to the UK having fuses in plugs. We don't have that in the rest of Europe for example.

Very bad modification. And wrong (but natural) response from the pilot trying to pick up the dropping wing with aileron input. That would have made the asymmetric stall worse.

I think the typical email about links from around that time was for SEO optimization. They would request that you link to their site from a high ranking domain in exchange for a link from them back to you.

Commercial rail operations will try to maximise revenue, doing airline style pricing. Very visible in the UK where last minute or peak time train tickets are crazy expensive. (All their train lines are commercial) Compared to trains being r

Trains don't rule Europe on cost, airline prices are usually lower if you're willing to fly Ryanair or similar. But the train is much faster if you want to go from city center to city center for a distance that's a relatively

Europe has a very similar rail setup. Both France and Germany have very good high speed rail connections with their TGV and ICE. You connect into those from London, Brussels and Amsterdam via Eurostar and the German ICE.

Going in between the buy/ask margin means the margin got smaller which is good for all traders in the market. There is no way to "go in between" and not make it smaller, because the best price gets the order. Here's a mu
