I have an instructor rating, part of training is exactly that. If someone freezes up at the wrong moment, be prepared to use violence to get them off the controls. One trick that often works is to put your hand in front of their eyes. Human

Every six months we go in the simulator and practice all kinds of failures and disasters. But lack of sleep is a real issue. Even more on the US side since rest rules are worse than European. Somehow it doesn't get the attention it des

In normal law an Airbus doesn't stall with full back stick, that would just result in maximum AoA not a stall. In this case it had degraded to loose some of those protections due to icing of the sensors. That was confusing to the junio

It has been changed after this incident. There is now an alert for dual input. The resulting Airbus system is better than traditional connected yokes, because it doesn't have the unexpected opposite input anymore (with the alert) but i

There is debate about whether high interest rates work to solve inflation at all. But if you believe they do, it makes sense to want the banks to also pass those rates on to savings accounts instead of only milking the mortgage market. Beca

Wow that's a low price in Austria. In the Netherlands it's 4200 euro per year for just the trains, you still have to pay for bus and metro on top of that.

They're not "comparable" at all. You're probably comparing the lightest model 3 (which you cannot buy anymore, the newer models are heavier) to the heaviest Audi A3 model on the market otherwise they aren't "ve

No it's much simpler than that. You either confirm the transaction on your phone with pin or FaceID, without the card involved. Or if the amount is too high (50k+ at my bank) or you don't have your phone, you use a small device pr

I had the same experience. It used to be quite convenient, but not anymore. A few weeks ago I tried to get from Shoreditch to Canary Wharf during a normal workday. Used both Bolt and Uber, took half an hour to get a car while both promised

DCS has some shortcut keys to do things like automatically running the whole engine start sequence. But I think you'll still need to spend some time on the navigation part to be able to fly a mission.

A quite old Dell XPS 13 with the battery removed (there are youtube videos on how to do that). It's very quite, low power usage and much faster than something like a Raspberry Pi. Only limitation is that it doesn't have ethernet p

Apparently the code is Apache licensed, so you can use that code. Putting a file somewhere that states "you agree to X by using the software" without you signing anything isn't an enforceable contract. If they want you to agr

Above 100% being 350-400% in home heating cases. They're quite popular in the Netherlands due to high natural gas prices (since the Ukraine war) and two types of government subsidies. One is a direct subsidy on buying a heat pump devic

This is a lot of FUD around Java with no substance at all. If you're afraid of the platform owners being in your way you should go with Java and not with Microsoft. The JDK is under the same GPL 2.0 license as Linux, which is a rock so

The wind component averages out over time or is slightly in favor of the aircraft because you would aim for optimal wind by selecting a preferred altitude. But air miles and car miles are not equal. The car route is nearly always longer, ev

Not for a typical small plane. Takeoff fuel burn isn't that much higher than cruise, and descend and approach fuel burn is similarly lower due to reduced power.

Google the company is less shady than most crypto companies, but Google's market place for ads is a lot more shady than crypto exchanges. Not only is Google on each side of the trade, there is also zero transparency to other participan

That's not how it works. It's not "when you report a hack the government can now hack you at will". It is: When an intelligence agency with a legal warrant to monitor another entity that's a severe enough threat to

Contrary to common opinion here I think this is a small thing. The way these things work in the Netherlands, an intelligence agency would currently not intercept any communication from a "stepping stone" hacked by a criminal organ

Not just banks, many large enterprises have such requirements. Keep all personal data inside the EU, it's just easier for them to mitigate risks that way. But all three major clouds offer several European data centers so it's real

Not sure which city and how much experience those developers have. But we pay 80-100k per year base salary + stock options + pension to medior developers in Amsterdam. Higher for more experienced roles.

My quite basic free router from my ISP does exactly that. It plugs into the UTP port on the fiber termination box (no idea how to call that) and handles DHCP for ipv4, while allowing ipv6 auto configuration using a /64 for all devices

Well HP also doesn't make you burn all the pages already printer right? They just don't let you print new pages with a cartridge you didn't pay for. This would be easier to understand if you had to return the cartridge after

They didn't sell the ink to OP. With the subscription plan (which is entirely voluntary) You pay a small monthly fee for x number of pages per month. That fee is much lower than the cost of a cartridge of ink. The downside is that you

That's a long time ago. Even longer ago you could have done Twente airport to Amsterdam. But none of those exist anymore.

Engine noise is a tiny part of it, the sound of the tires and wind is a significant component. A petrol powered BMW 7 series is for example quiter than a Tesla model S. While they have a roughly similar weight, shape and size. It's mos
