It feels fake, because they speak in a way that sounds unnatural and overelaborate. It is so long, with so many unnecessary sentences. And it feels like everything is said at least twice; First a generic statement about the new feature. The

I disagree. I am old enough to remember the iPod nano -- Especially the 2nd generation. They were effectively low-priced and smaller iPods. Apple sold millions of these much much quicker than the iPods and iPod minis (which came right befor

Enhanced mode was already in 3.0 (and I think allowed for flat addressing) However, Win32s was introduced in 3.11 which a subset of the Windows 32-bit API from NT. 3.11 also introduced 32-bit disk access and 32-bit drivers. Microsoft did 32

Mera Peak is said to be possible without any climbing experience, and it looks like the trek from Lukla is about 2 weeks. Is that true? How hard is the trek -- Looks like it requires well above average fitness level?

Neither Europe nor EU is a single country with a single foreign policy. There are around 40 different small and large countries in Europe each with their own foreign policy, history, culture and language. Two of the countries are currently

You are right. People went on with their lives, just as they did in many other parts of the world, but I don't think what happened is forgotten -- Not even in the US. Btw. as far as I remember neither China, India, Russia, nor practica

Yes. You are right. Unfortunately, many countries that were/are part of EU sent forces to Iraq (not all). You mention that Asia was suspicious, but the "coalition of willing" actually included Asian countries such as Phillipp

This doesn't really align with CNN's view, but may apply to another even more popular US news channel that seems to be much more aligned with the current administration... Greenland and Denmark are not the same. Greenland is a sel

Europe has not just "cheered on". There were demonstrations throughout Europe against the wars in the middle east and both e.g. France and Germany openly opposed the war in Iraq. The Europeans I know (from all over) have generally

It may not just be about the minerals.... It could be about leaving NATO. US (Trump) feels they need Greenland for "security". They currently have (almost complete) access to use Greenland via NATO and the existing agreements with

It will be by far the longest span of a suspension bridge at 3300 meter. The current longest is in Turkey at 2023 meter. Each of the pylons of the Messina Bridge will be around 400 meters tall. Which is taller than the Empire State Building

I listened to the press conference the other day with Trumps cabinet meeting. It is bizar to listen to. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed that windmills had killed 100+ whales. I tried to find out what he referred to, but couldn't find any

I know OCR is easier to set up, but you lose a lot going that way. We process several million pages from Newspapers and Magazines from all over the world with medium to very high complexity layouts. We built the PDF parser on top of open so

This happens -- also variants which have been processed with OCR. So if it is scanned it contains just a single image - no text. OCR programs will commonly create a PDF where the text/background and detected images are separate. And th

We do a lot of parsing of PDFs and basically break the structure into 'letter with font at position (box)' because the "structure" within the PDF is unreliable. We have algorithms that combines the individual letters to

I sort of agree... I do the same. We also parse millions of PDFs per month in all kinds languages (both Western and Asian alphabets). Getting the basics of PDF parsing to work is really not that complicated -- A few months work. And is an o

Copenhagen's metro started with 2 lines in 2002 (now 4 lines). There are plans for more autonomy on the city's commuter trains (non-metro) in 2030-2037, starting with the first line in 2030/2031.

I would think that you could be right, but it could also be the opposite. Low demand in the US, means less sales to US, so they may try to make up for the loss of profit on the US market by increasing prices on other markets... So global pr

Agreed. They stopped talking about it... I have a feeling they are not really that competitive in this market segment, but were helped by a strong brand. Anyone know if they actually make money on Solar at all, and have an idea what their p

Musk is already (frequently) raging against EU — the topics include freedom of speech and immigration… and calling the foreign minister of Poland “a little man”. There is a reason the Tesla brand is suffering in Europe.

Serious question; Why do you feel EU is a "shitshow"? What EU policies do you feel have been overreaching on the individual member country's sovereignty lately? And why do you feel Leyen was unelected? As I understand it, she

I agree with this. Most European car manufacturers produce EVs now, and a lot of them are looking quite competitive compared to Tesla. While Tesla sold more EVs than any other brand in Europe 2024, BMW and Volkswagen both sold more EVs in G

The official reason EU added tariffs on Chinese cars, was that Chinese EV manufacturers receive unfair government subsidies. This allowed Chinese cars to be priced lower than European cars. So it was to protect EU car manufacturers (which a

The thing is that Tesla isn't priced as car marker, and hasn't been for a long time. People still also talk about Tesla as an AI-company, robot-inventor, battery and solar cell producer, and potential ride-hailing company. Like yo
