There aren't any domestic KLM routes, the country is roughly the size of the New York area :-) He used to fly KLM cityhopper which is KLM's "regional airline" in US terms, going across most of Europe. Then he transitione

The same is true for the Dutch royal family. Technically the king appoints the ministers / secretaries of state and has to sign every law before it becomes official. Practically he signs the things the elected government wants him to s

In Europe a lot of the more "upscale" restaurants have menu's with and without prices. If you let them know you're taking the others out for dinner as a treat they will hand out menu's without prices on it to your g

I can't ignore the feeling that Google Cloud is sub par compared to AWS. How did this again cause a multi zone failure. Why haven't they fixed those dependencies the last few times they had a full region failure.

Even with the smallest instance types that's around 8 million in compute cost. Doesn't sound like something you would spend on a small crime?

EHAM tower or the high speed ballet of the radar guys?

Collision avoidance in nearly all cars is radar based. And it includes steering angle input. The problem is when the car you're going to narrowly miss is still in the path of your car but going to move out of it. That's something

Same with Bing Chat, what makes it useful is that the answers are links to places where it found the info.

What do curves have to do with adaptive cruise control? That's just keeping a speed and a distance, without randomly hitting the brakes. Other brands do it much better than Tesla at the moment.

They use fewer chips due to cutting corners: 1. Their "self driving" adaptive cruise is very bad compared to other brands. Because they dropped radar and don't use proven modules like others. 2. Same for their idiotic attempt

You forgot to include Volkswagen, they delivered 572,000 in 2022 and are still ramping up. And BMW close to 200,000 with their more mainstream models released later in the year so expect rapid growth this year.

If you increase volume on the center channel while reducing overall volume the dialogue usually gets much clearer.

ChatGPT hallucinates a lot, but Bing chat so far for me doesn't do that. And it makes the key parts of the answer clickable to read the pages it got that from. So you can judge whether you trust that page or not.

It's not that easy. If you go higher, the speed of sound decreases so you have to go slower to avoid going above the critical Mach number for your aircraft. Normal airliners have to stay quite a bit below Mach 1 to avoid any part of th

AWS / GCP / Azure don't make a lot of sense if you're looking for cheap compute and don't need the rest of the cloud. Take a look at dedicated servers at Hetzner. They're very cheap, have enough bandwidth to tr

Indeed and the "group discount" or in Dutch collectiviteitskorting has been banned recently. So there is even less of a difference now.

It's not like the EU is specifically targeting US companies with their consumer protection regulations. Those things are considered completely normal protections for consumers in Europe. It's just that 99% of US big tech companies

Propellers are quite fragile things. If you hit a traffic cone with one on a small trainer aircraft, it's unairworthy immediately and requires an inspection of the propeller and engine.

Being the largest party is a serious thing in the UK or US. But the Dutch political system is a bit different. Here it has far less impact. The largest party in this case is only around 20% of the votes. There are several other political di

In this case it's not about greenhouse gasses (those aren't local, so moving something doesn't change the impact). This is about nitrogen which has a very local impact. So moving farming away from over-farmed areas to other p

Environmental impact is a scientific fact, while both of your claims are lies often coming from the FvD side of things. Look up the official numbers before you blindly repeat "millions entered the country". Because millions also l

Exactly. And they hard working poor farmer is in reality a big multi-million euro company that's doing a lot of pollution. They managed to lobby and gaslight so much that non-farmers believe the stories and vote for them. Which is craz

I am Dutch. One of the things the farmers lobby is trying to hide is the fact that 80% of the Dutch farming production is for export. These guys are running large multi-million euro sized companies, with a very significant environmental imp

Yes CG calculation is a weighted sum (of weights, but lets call those mass to avoid confusion) with the weight for each dial being fixed. The result of the sum is divided by the total mass to get the CG. This thing displays total mass on th

That’s crazy, the only worse commute would be something like Maastricht and even that train route is better. I guess you found another client quickly?

That bank account only needs to hold about 1 month of expenses. Not a lot of people have over 250k monthly expenses...

Sure, but this isn't about it being fair or not. This is about a group of professionals making an investment decision that turned out to be wrong. Laymen then saying "let the government eat their 25% loss" based on the (wrong

The government buying those bonds at face value would be ridiculous. They're worth 80% of face value or less on the open market. So buying them at face value would be a 25% subsidy... Billions of tax money flowing to VC funded startups
