The first part of OP's page indicates

> Simplified flight physics: The flight simulator is designed for casual exploration rather than high-fidelity aerodynamic training.

Google made flying possible with 6 controls only, and it's a feature!

It works normally, but they indeed have no busines helping you prepare for ATP license exam with beautiful maps in the browser

It'a an arcade game and it's fun


calling the EU a free market that makes problems go away to draft macro economic conclusions from sunscreens is a particularly shallow analysis

Free Market advocates already did that move after walking in Hong Kong and other Chinese cities, at times they were more qualified in partisan politics than proficient in Chinese. We had been hearing their absolute "facts" and only alternative theory for a full century afterwards

I guess it's better to quickly correct that Europe isn't a lawless free market and a huge corpus of regulations still exists, even if the specific problem to approve new sunscreens is a different process in here

regulation and economy can be discussed, but EU isn't an example of free market. Sunscreens are still heavily regulated like everything else. FDA and all their processes aren't perfect, but they do a good job overall


>calling the EU a free market that makes problems go away to draft macro economic conclusions from sunscreens is a particularly shallow analysis

I didn't say it was a free market. i said it was a freer market in this particular instance, as shown by this article.


If it's straightforward to approve new cosmetics, REACH, Cosmetic Products Regulation 1223/2009 updated no latter than this year in regulation 2026/78, ISO 22716 and whatnot still apply

You can find lists of ingredients banned in cosmetics in the EU, or across EVERY industry in general

Perfume manufacturers are the only ones who get away with virtually everything as they don't have to declare their ingredients (but "perfumes" are also an ingredient in a bunch of cosmetics, so here is the loophole as Europe always has loopholes)


OP's article is from 2024, according to the date on it

these scandals happen every other day

Hardly a decade ago, a well documented part of prism was on how Berlin was being scanned all the way up to the chancellor

Could the Dutch government think they were any different to the Germans ? Did they not use outlook ?

You put a lot of hope in managers from large companies and governments who get their rent and yearly bonuses no matter their performance, and will never ever be made redundant


we never have evidence that providers bribe politicians into signing juicy contracts so I wouldn't claim they do, but it's either that or they're extremely gullible and don't care about their jobs.

consider Hanlon's razor before being mad and sending everyone to court for treason

Either ways, something needs to change


they never promised they won't look into them, they just suggest it

The way they break the informative tone and circle around the bush in AZ900 absolutely looks like a admission that they do and is peak hilarious:

>Describe the shared responsibility model

> How responsibilities shift in cloud

"the consumer is responsible for the data and information stored in the cloud. (You wouldn’t want the cloud provider to be able to read your information.) "


> Rolling your own "digital sovereignty" is not going to be cheap for most nations

neither are Microsoft 365 subscriptions at governmental scales

No offence, but I do believe a few Dutch ppl could run email servers for cheaper


Agents are a product, and AI companies really paint their products as friendly, productive and innocuous tools.

Some could claim they deceive some users and the general public into thinking they always do best, are always right, help mankind and can never ever create consequences

It would be interesting to see how AI consulted the user before it ordered VMs n AWS, which is the point between which the user would face consequences

Cloud is also marketed as something cheap, and I can understand that teens and starters can't expect to be able to spend for 6000$ of stuff without the parents or the bank checking

Computer education should start with that, but it doesn't as Microsoft, Google and Amazon would most likely lose a large part of their market if general public and managers who never go beyond the hype knew how much it cost


AWS and Azure stress on spending limits you can set for each card... in their documentation !

Some gen AI and ML folks seem to see a way out to make things without reading any doc or scientific literature. Gen AI is a pretty clever bit of computing, but not witchcraft yet


That is false for AWS. There are no spending limits that stop usage and cost after some threshold.

oh my bad, thanks for the info

AWS Budget can mostly notify you indeed, and terminating instances from that isn't as straightforward as on Azure
