It's not the examiner deciding "you deserve a second chance or not". In a normal oral exam everyone gets a "I don't think that's correct" or "please explain that to me" kind of response on a wron

No, but that's not the same. Signatures and checks are covered by terms & conditions (and law) that you must follow. A better anology is if you figure out a mathematical advantage within the rules of a casino game, are you allowed

This really depends on your frame of reference and where in the Netherlands you're going. Having worked in both London and Amsterdam I think there are many more public parking garage options in Amsterdam and non of those are time limit

But you were using radar for terrain mapping. Self driving road cars use cameras to follow lanes and radar to detect obstacles and other vehicles. Normal radar based adaptive cruise control you can buy in the majtory of je car brands today

Maybe Tesla radar can't see any stationary objects, but others use radar for collision avoidance / auto braking and seem to do so also for stationary objects. It's harder to do from a signal processing view, but definitely no

It's crazy that they didn't put at least an extra camera in the place where for example BMW has their "side view camera" option for pulling out of parking spaces. That's right at the sides of the nose. Would have co

But for most of those there is some information on the family where the money came from. Like they ran some kind of business. In this case the only information to be found on the family is that someone with that family name is a drug dealer

The world isn't really full of child molesters. And sadly a big majority of molesting happens by people the child knows, like family and friends, not strangers. So this extreme reaction to strangers and people walking on eggs around sc

I'm not sure it works that way. It's not like you care less about your first child after having a second. They're all the most loved thing you have in life.

You would need to move 1 million into some crypto exchange, there is a bit of risk there and it takes significant amounts of time. Then go and buy 1 million of USDT, you can see the live orders here, there are several buy orders even above

Well not completely, in the sense that they seem to be exchanging USDT for USD at a 1:1 ratio if you show up with 100k or more. There have been no reports of people that tried to get that and didn't get it. On the other hand maybe peop

Every USDT they buy below 1 USD will increase their "backing level". So if they only stole let's say 5% of the funds to buy cars and boats, a price drop could slowly move them back to 100% backed. Assuming they have all the U

Maybe they are buying them? Just not at enough speed to avoid a decrease in price. To buy them they would need to take their real USD, probably spread across investment instruments (e.g. in an ideal case where all they say is true, they wou

This depends strongly on the region. The US still has a very old system in use for the center controllers which are the big regions. That system wants discrete codes for each aircraft in each area, so they make flights change code if there

That could explain all of it. Household average here (including 1 person households / apartments etc) is 2479 kwh per year, but also 1169 m3 of natural gas. If you convert that gas to kwh it would be around 10,500 kwh So 13,000 kwh per

The detection range for radar is more than 200m, you can stop from speeds above 100mph in that distance. And the radar sensor automatically includes relative speed information on the target (doppler shift) which vision doesn't so it&#x

The engines will be fine, but the airframe has a maximum speed in each configuration. For example the gear can't move above a certain speed and can't be down above a higher speed. Similar for the flaps, at a 30 degrees landing fla

It really differs per plane, jets pitch up higher than typical general aviation aircraft during rotation and go-around. The 737 for example will command 15 degrees pitch up on the flight director when going around. If you did that on a typi

Tesla "Full Self Driving" is vaporware so far. In previous versions "Autopilot" as a name only implied self-driving to some customers, while it wasn't. Now they've gone a step further and branded advanced drive
