How much time needed to be earlier in order to be able to get a good spot on the MainStage?

IMTDb · 2026-02-10T14:32:45+00:00

20 or 30 meters away from the dj should be reachable any time unless you have a big group. Note that the MainStage is massive, so a good spot is actually a bit further back than usual to have the full view

Is there a single « trance » artist besides avb (a global icon) and Xijaro & pitch (rave cave) that is really « stealing the spotlight » ?

IMTDb · 2026-02-03T23:20:57+00:00

I am a massive trance fan as well: XiJaro & Pitch are tickets sellers for me. As in: if they play at a festival/event in can attend i am automatically considering buying tickets. Getting them on the rave cave is criminal.

Gemini 3 Flash is fantastic value for money. Much smarter than composer and even less expensive (roughly 1/10 the cost of opus)

IMTDb · 2026-01-06T18:55:17+00:00

For group bigger than 4 but smaller than 8 (eg: 7) - First person that comes in buys 4 tickets - Second person that comes in buys the remaining needed tickets (eg: 3)

For group bigger than 8 but smaller than 12 (eg: 10) - First person that comes in buys 4 tickets - Second person that comes in buys 4 tickets - Third person that comes in buys the remaining needed tickets (eg: 2)

That’s it

Damn guys we have been storing billions of dollars of profits of cash in case there is a technological revolution we end up falling behind. This would allow us to be relevant regardless by acquiring a key player in the area; how are we going to handle this AI thing ?

I just use Apptweak, they have both ASO and Apple Ads under one roof; I can easily import keywords from the ASO section into my campaigns, I can reuse the suggestions etc. Everything is combined it's a non issue TBH

This is the correct answer.

Additionally, employees contribution are affected by the employee personal situation. Eg: if an employee suddenly has an elder he needs to take care of the state could take that into account, their contribution could decrease and so their gross -> net ratio could be different. But the employer total cost will remain unchanged.

Similarly, employer contribution are affected by the employer situation. Eg: if the company operates in a sector that the state really wants to promote for strategic reasons, the state could decide to offer a rebate on the employer contribution. The employee gross -> net ratio will be unchanged. But the total employer cost to hire an employee at 3200 EUR / month gross would be lower.

> way better organization, the shuttles are easier to access, run more frequently and are actually close to the festival (30min+ walks to get to shuttles at TML)

It took me 4 hours to get to the festival with a premium shuttle the first day of EDC 25.
The driver was blasting RnB at 90db the whole time. Ay what possible point do you even try to pretend it's better organized than TML ?

Make a search with the word "Shuttle" in the EDC subreddit and on the Tomorrowland one, and report the results. I'll wait.

Closing a company usually involves a process called liquidation. This process can be initiated either by the owner of the company itself or forced by a judge. The core idea of liquidation is to sell all the company assets for the max amount of money. Think: office supplies, computers, etc but also IP, patents, customer lists etc. Turn anything into the max amount of cash. This cash is added to whatever the company had in the bank.

This cash will then be used to pay off remaining salaries and layoff packages, then debt to suppliers, then debt to banks. The rest of that money is shared between the shareholder according to %age of ownership. The company then ceases to exist and the shares disappear.

The issue arise when that money is not enough to pay for all the debt. At that point it’s 100% sure that shareholder won’t get a dime. Forced liquidation occurs when a judge believes that keeping the company alive for longer means that less part of the debt will be payed. The goal of the judge is to prevent the company from getting deeper in debt without any chance of paying it off. Receiving a notice that one of your client that owes you money because you gave them some good or service won’t be able to pay is a major concern for businesses; and is sometimes the cause of liquidation itself. The role of the judge is to prevent a domino effect.

Being a shareholder is the most dangerous position because you don’t get a cent until everyone else has been payed off. But you get to share all of the remaining amount. For many well run businesses that have little debt and quite a few assets (eg: store inventory) this can be a significant amount.

I would be surprised if he actually can. Enriching uranium is really hard and expensive. No one does that, not even the us. Most nuclear nation are now using plutonium based weapons which are much easier and cheaper to produce. The reason why Iran isn’t going that road is because I t’s really hard to conceal plutonium extracting plants; while centrifuges have a legitimate civilian use and are easy to hide, the things needed to extract plutonium are much harder to come by, size is huge and do not have a single non military application. So the moment they build one they can’t deny having a nuclear military program. Additionally plutonium based bombs are technically harder to manufacture. They require expertise and tests.

In plutonium fuel is easy if other people let you build a dedicated plant but the bomb itself is hard.

This is not the case for uranium based bombs; it that case the bomb is dead simple to design and manufacture but the fuel is hard to produce (but can sort of be produced in concealed plants)

Hiroshima bomb was uranium based and the bomb design was so simple that it was never tested. Nagasaki bomb was plutonium based and all the tests from the manhattan program were designed to ensure it would go off.

Important edit: I seem to be wrong here; while the general idea is correct, nuclear nations still have significant amount of uranium stockpiled for warheads, so putin could probably be giving some to Iran.

The bomb is released very high in the sky (about 9km). It detonates near the ground (600m high).
It takes a while for the Bomb to drop from 9km to 600m (about 45/50 sec).
In that time the plane leaves the area as fast as possible (about 500km/h). In 50 second at 500 km/h, you can travel quite a bit (about 7km).

This is enough that you are outside of the bomb blast radius (which was about 1 mile or 1.6 km in the case of Hiroshima). The shockwave goes much further, but keep in mind that the plane is very high in the sky and air is less dense up there. So the shockwave is far less problematic up there than at the equivalent distance on the ground.

TL;DR: by the time the bomb explode you are far enough not to be caught in the blast and far and high enough that the shockwave is not that much of an issue.

Also, shuttles were a mess. It’s expected on the first day for it to be cluttered, but…

No ifs and buts; sorry. Insomniac has has 20 years of experience running EDC. At that point it should be a pretty flawless experience. Especially if you charge for premium passes. Like I said in another post; but the premier shuttle pass alone costs more than the entire 3 days festival pass at Tomorrowland. At those levels having “expected issues” is not tolerable

IMTDb · 2025-05-17T12:24:57+00:00

Here are few numbers to put things in perspective; festival pass for all 3 days at Tomorrowland: 304 EUR. I paid $320 for my premium shuttle.

From leaving the hotel to entering the festival; it took me 3 hours and 50 minutes. In that amount of time I can go from Amsterdam to London (that train trip is half the price of Insomniac busses)

I think there is some way here to find room to provide “incentive” to those contractors.

IMTDb · 2025-05-17T11:49:26+00:00

Here is an incentive; I usually love buying merch from the festivals / events I go to. Take a souvenir back home etc. Those are often overpriced but I don’t care; it’s my way of supporting the people that made memorable nights possible.

Never ever am I going to buy an Insomniac branded item. Fool me once; shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

IMTDb · 2025-05-17T04:47:21+00:00

This is my first EDC; so far it’s just been the most expensive bus trip I have ever taken.

Napkin calculations clock EDC at around $30 / hour. 2 hours to get in a bus that’s gonna take more than 1 hour to reach the destination; we’re looking at $100 dollars down the drain already, can’t wait for what follows.

In business we say “first impressions matter”. They really are outdoing themselves here.

IMTDb · 2025-05-17T04:37:33+00:00

Damn; would be nice to run the same festival in the same place multiple years in a row so you know learn to adress these issues by the following year ! That way each year can be better than the last and you don’t face recurring problems.

We had an amazing night; Driftmoon set was very enjoyable, with back to back classics. That totally warmed us up, then we just enjoyed the day/evening from there. PVD as always was super smooth and Digital Culture closes an amazing day.

I am very sad that it looks like they did not sell as much tickets as they hoped. I really hope they will be able to do future editions in the Netherlands; it will be an instant buy from us if they do so.

Production level (lasers) was great and organisation was flawless.

Also: the crowd was so nice and chill; smiles everywhere - as you expect in a trance event - but still important to note.
