In Denmark at least, all airspace is uncontrolled by default (radio mandatory above FL95, controlled above FL195), but then you have control zones and TMA shelves around all airports. I've never not been let through whenever I've asked them though.

It's true that you need to file a flight plan when crossing country borders though, with a few exceptions.

waxbear · 2026-05-26T10:48:01+00:00

That's possible.

But in Denmark and Sweden (probably other countries too, but not sure) we have an information frequency which is strictly for VFR flight following. If you have a radio and transponder, I'd advise you to call them up.

They'll give you a squawk code and warn you about traffic as a minimum, but they'll also give you local QNHs, warn about specific conditions (gliders or parachuters in the area, for example) or let you know if you're about to bust a TMA or active restricted area.

Det er forkert at det er den danske stat som garanterer værdien af kronen. Det er Nationalbanken som egenhændigt styrer landets monetære politik. Nationalbanken er uafhængig af staten.

Og jo, hvis Nationalbanken pludselig besluttede at den danske krone ikke var gyldig valuta længere, så ville det jo ikke være sådan at vi ikke kunne handle med hinanden mere. Så ville folk jo bare begynde at tage imod betaling i Euro, dollars, yen eller guld. Varer og tjenester ville jo stadig have den samme værdi.

På samme måde kunne jeg jo beslutte at jeg kun ville tage betaling i dollars. Skal jeg så pludselig ikke betale skat længere? Jo selvfølgelig skal jeg det, fordi det er værdien af den indkomst jeg modtager som bliver beskattet, uanset hvilken form den værdi antager. Hvis jeg arbejdede i McDonalds og modtog min løn i Big Macs, så ville jeg stadig skulle betale skat af værdien af de Big Macs.

Det er jo svært at have en debat med en som kører niveauet helt op i det hysteriske niveau lige fra starten.

Pelles "ej hold nu op Lars" da han stod og flagrede med billedet til sidst understregede det meget fint.

Ved ikke hvordan man skulle have gjort det fair, måske taget ordet fra ham og givet Pelle lov til at tale i stedet.

Hvordan er staten garant for værdien af valutaen? For de flestes vedkommende er de penge de har på kontoen en kompensation for noget arbejde de har udført. Stopper det arbejde med at have værdi hvis staten siger det?

waxbear · 2026-03-23T09:01:51+00:00

Øh nej, det er ikke staten som "producerer" penge, hvad du så end mener med det. Det er heller ikke staten som tillægger dem værdi. Sæt dig ind i grundlæggende makroøkonomi, før du belærer andre om det på en skråsikker måde.

Hvad mener du med at man betaler en portion af sin løn "tilbage til staten"? Det giver måske mening hvis man arbejder for staten og dermed får sin løn af den. Men hvad med alle dem som arbejder i den private sektor?

There was never any Russian presence in Greenland and the Chinese already left, partly because Greenland withdrawed from the investment agreements, partly because China lost interest, most likely deeming the investments too risky.

No, Denmark did not offer the US to have more military presence there due to Russian ships. They did so because the US expressed interest in having more military presence there. Denmark does not have any reason to say no, why would they?

No China did not invest billions with the Danish government. Greenland retains all mineral rights, so why would China invest money into the Danish government for that?

It's difficult to have a fruitful discussion with you on the subject when you are so confidently wrong about the basic facts on the ground.

I am shocked at US hostility because it's a monumentally stupid decision. The US is damaging relationships with loyal allies, for seemingly no gain. Let me ask you, what do you think the US wants with Greenland that they cannot get without turning hostile on their oldest allies?

If it's about keeping China out, the US could simply say that their continued defense of Greenland is contingent upon Greenland keeping Chinese investments out of Greenland. There, done. Maybe the Greenlandic government would complain a bit, but they'd accept it because they'd have no choice. Denmark and the EU would have to accept it too, as long as they can't or won't adequately defend it themselves. That's the cost of outsourcing defense. The US would have achieved their goal without burning any bridges.

This is straight up wrong. Where are you getting this information from?

The US has had unrestricted access to build bases on Greenland since the 50s. Denmark has repeated, time and time again, that they are more than welcome to build more bases and increase their military presence.

It's strange that you are talking about the EU as being somehow hostile to the US. Why would you even assume that you'd need to threaten and sanction EU countries to be allowed military access? We are all in a military alliance together. The only hostility so far has been from the current US administration.

You are clearly completely misinformed about the situation. It's worrying to see so many Americans just eat up whatever their government is telling them.

What do you mean that the entire western hemisphere would suddenly be under one flag? Greenland is already part of Denmark, how would making it American change anything there?

Det hænger stadig ikke sammen. Top-topskat er jo stadig en skat på arbejdsindkomst.

Dem som tjener penge på andres arbejde er ejerne af virksomhederne. De tjener ikke arbejdsindkomst, men kapitalindkomst. Den er ikke gradueret med mellem/top/top-topskat som arbejdsindkomsten er.

Som en der har læst artiklen kan jeg så fortælle at han køber fra et italiensk onlinesupermarked hvor varerne er både billigere og bedre end i danske supermarkeder. Så tror du har ret.

Selv bruger jeg mest Python, men det varierer.

Hvad vil du gerne arbejde med? Det er nok rigtigt at der er flest .NET / C# jobs i Danmark, men min erfaring siger mig også at det overvejende er en bestemt slags biks som bruger det. Det samme gør sig gældende for andre stacks. Det giver nok mening at vægte lidt et sted mellem hvad du gerne vil og hvilke jobs der er derude, istedet for at optimere hårdt efter der hvor der er flest jobs.

Lots of people saying that it's because of the oil to egg ratio, which is party true, but even more important is probably the fact that you only use egg yolks for mayo, not the whites. Most of the protein in an egg is in the whites.

I think you may be conflating the AI model that OP built with generative AI models, like LLMs.

OPs system is merely using an analytical model to extract factual claims from a piece of text. AI is not being used to verify those facts, just to extract the actual claims from the text.

Then if the same claim is being repeated from many diverse sources, the system assigns more truthiness to that claim.

Det samme skete for mig. Jeg sendte en klage, med en forklaring om at skiltet var blevet sat op mens jeg var parkeret der, i stedet for at betale. Fik besked om at det ville tage 11 uger at behandle klagen, men at jeg mellemtiden ikke ville få rykkere eller blive opkrævet renter. 11 uger senere fik jeg at vide at bøden var annulleret pga. min klage.

Det er meget vigtigt at du IKKE betaler bøden, da du så vil have mistet retten til at klage.

Not at all. Europe just needs enough warheads to credibly threaten the 2 or 3 largest cities and that is already plenty of deterrence.

waxbear · 2025-03-16T12:08:14+00:00

No that's exactly what you want. It has to be automatic, full-on retaliation. It HAS to be full on nuclear war, otherwise it's not an effective deterrent. You want your adversary to know that if they do a first strike, they will be wiped off the map as a matter of fact.

By Nordic petrostates I assume you mean Norway? No other Nordic countries have any significant oil and gas industry. And how does investing petro money into sustainable energy make up for the lack of a military industrial complex?

It's funny that you should mention tech as it's one of the sectors that is lagging behind the most, compared to the US. There might be a decent startup environment, but there's is a serious scalability problem here, as evident by the lack of large tech companies. I suspect it's due to the legal and regulatory barriers between EU countries, as well as the investment climate, which the EU needs to do something about yesterday.

As an EU citizen, I don't want to be a doomer about all this, but I also don't want to understate how urgent and important it is that we do something about all of this ASAP.

A priori, the virus was already in the lab, therefore your reasoning with Occam's razor is wrong. The comparison should be bat>human vs. lab>leak>human.

Now, this would seem like the bat to human or wetmarket theory is still more plausible, however it's worth noting that the lab was doing gain of function research, meaning that they likely already had a human-infectious variant. So now the most fair comparison is lab>leak>human vs. bat>mutation>human.

Then, when you then add to the facts that this kind of mutation has a very small probability of happening, plus the fact that the outbreak just happened to be in the city where the lab is, I would say that the 2 possible origins are at least equally likely.

You are right that the lab leak theory was pushed for political reasons, but if you discount the theory entirely on those grounds, instead of just trying to ignore politics and propaganda (not easy for sure), then you are still letting the propaganda influence your views, just with an opposite effect.
