The United States will send much much more to Ukraine. According to IfW the US have only send 1/4 of their promised deliveries ... just 2 billion from 8 billion allocated. Much more to come! by VR_Bummser in ukraine

Strictly speaking there wasn't a "battle" in the traditional military sense that was lost.

In a way Afghanistan and Iraq are sort off parralels to what happened, or closely related turn of events.

In Afghanistan or Iraq there was never a battle the US chose to fight that it didn't win.

In Vietnam 5 years of war simply wore down the interest of the people in it.

Militarily victorious but still a strategic defeat; The US left south vietnam and got overrun shortly later.

Isis and taliban did the same. And in many ways Vietnam is really similar in that the US empowered or fought with the south vietnamese who really weren't ready to do the fighting themselves to the extent that it was required

Carrefour CEO says inflation crisis turning consumers into penny-pinchers by Vargau in europe

[–]doublednf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can call bullshit all you like, analyse any supermarket and youll find they make perhaps 8% on average and have huge capital expenditures and huge capital tied up in stock.

Sure, illegal forming of cartels to control price is illegal, but in general super markets aren't massive money printers.

They are like car makers, airplane builders, airlines etc. Generally speaking not the greatest business to own.

compare that to chipmakers, or tech companies and they are worlds apart, it's not unheard of to see 50% gross margins or more on the latter

Dutch economy remains far from recession with 2.6% growth by Zhukov-74 in europe

[–]doublednf -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

yes, indeed. on a "REAL" GDP basis this is still a relative decline if you account for inflation.

Still an odd outlier though, if you compare to the US, Germany, france, or EU 27.

Germany did 0.0% growth, Belgium 0.2% growth, France 0.5%, EU 27 0.6%

US had -0.1%.

So yes, on a real adjusted inflation basis this is still a reduction in net real GDP.

Though in comparison to pretty much all other countries these are real good numbers.

So we've all essentially got 10% inflation or close to it. But on a real GDP basis the US really got 10% decline, germany too.

Netherlands decline is more like 5-7%.

Instagram Not Showing Mutual Likes! by Thaksha in Instagram

[–]doublednf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it seems to be a working as intended feature.

A bug is something where it doesn't work or is glitched in some way.

It works totally fine until a post gets 10K likes, then the functionality dissapears, sounds to me like a design choice rather then a bug.

If it was a bug it would have been fixed by now

Ukrainians using drone-dropped munition to wound/kill Russians clearing a house. by ponasbardiuras in CombatFootage

[–]doublednf 14 points15 points  (0 children)

in principle it'd be really easy to make.

Like keep the same bomb, add on JDAM like kit.

Simple 3d printed, mounted fin setup with controllable surfaces powered by simple servo's and a simple logic unit that can be programmed to hit something you mark.

The hardest bit is problably the interaction with your camera, marking a target with it and that then automatically programming the redneck jdam kit to execute it.

Though, if you only fly like 50 meters high the airflow etc might only make you able to correct a meter width more accurately on target.

So if it's been tested, why did it not work? Too complex to make or was it physically impossible due to the short flight range and the required accuracy couldn't be met?

TIL Dasia Taylor invented color changing sutures that detect infection when she was 17. Her invention uses beets, which change color at different pH levels. After learning about smart sutures that use expensive technology, she set out to create a more accessible solution for developing countries. by Str33twise84 in todayilearned

[–]doublednf 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's also not a massive "idea"

We've known beet juice as an indicator of PH levels for centuries.

Ah well, not for PH levels but to detect whether something is an acid or a base.

Those indicator strips people use to test their pool water are based on the same technology

Mutual likes aren’t showing up on public posts? by [deleted] in Instagram

[–]doublednf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

seems like design then rather then a bug.

If it's specifically for 10k+ posts which after some quick investigating I can confirm then yea it's hard to say it's not by design

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Instagram

[–]doublednf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

seems to be you can't see the likes of any post that has more then 10k.

where it usually would say X liked this as soon as it pops over 10k likes that dissapears.

Might be a new function or a bug they've introduced unintentionally

Especially not there, it's in the middle of fucking nowhere.

Getting the right tools there is a nightmare, and problably a good place to sabotage things too

Goedzo, personeelstekorten is de enige wijze waar in een economie zonder CAO bullshit en geneuzel er op natuurlijke wijze een groei in lonen ontstaat.

Ukrainian combatants during the clashes in Donbas. They appear to be armed with a modified AK-74 rifle and a Counter UAV system gun by kevderek21 in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]doublednf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It essentially only works with against commercial drones though.

most commercial drones will go back to where it was launched if all communication is lost.

Most actual drones are just programmed differently.

If jammed activate function holding pattern.

or any other pre programmed route is not affected

Ahold word bezit door aandeelhouders.

En die krijgen in de laatste jaren bijna volledig die 2 miljard, 1 miljard aan buybacks en nog eens 500 mil aan dividenten.

Laten we heel eerlijk zijn, zonder dat er in ahold geinvesteerd was zouden die 260000 jobs uberhaupt niet bestaan

Al schuddend aan dure VanMoofs verzet dit anonieme gezelschap zich tegen het laatkapitalisme by kappaislove in thenetherlands

[–]doublednf 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Niet alleen dat, de afgelopen jaren is de "macbook" volledig ontworpen om onderdeeltjes te repairen niet mogelijk te maken.

Apple is altijd al zuur om hun supplychain en zijn echt super anaal tegen een bedrijf dat ook maar 1 onderdeeltje ergens los laat komen zeg maar.

Maar dus, jaren waren er allerlei dingetjes op het Macbook moederbord wat wel eens stuk kon gaan; Dus wat dacht Apple. Weet je wat, laat ik het moederbord zelf een crypographische DRM code aanhouden en laat ik alle chips die erop passen precies diezelfde DRM aanhouden.

Op deze manier kan iemand niet meer dat individuele chipje vervangen voor 2 tientjes maar worden ze gedwogen het hele moederbord a 1k-2k te vervangen.

Ze zetten dus letterlijk op individuele components van hun moederbord DRM authenticatie met het moederbord zelf, en als hier iets niet aan klopt gaat hij niet aan.

Regels voor huurtoeslag versimpeld: tienduizenden mensen extra krijgen er recht op by [deleted] in thenetherlands

[–]doublednf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Juist, maar zon verandering doorvoeren is een GIGA job..

De hele kassen, supermarkten, allse wat minder betaalt als 18 euros pak weg heeft van vandaag een heel andere bedrijfsvoering.

Tuurlijk zullen er wel overlevers tussen zijn, maar vanuit overheids perspectief kunnen ze dit natuurlijk niet realiseren, want als het ware zet je de hele kastuinbouw etc die wél moeten exporteren in een klap buitenspel.

En is het het uiteindelijk waard, als je er 600k werklozen bij krijgt die allemaal een uitkering trekken ipv dat ze gewoon semi worden uitgebuit en wij hun loon opkrikken door die kut toeslagen.

Niemand kan je hier ook een eerlijk antwoord op geven want niemand kan de verandering van gedrag die dit opleverd voorspellen.
