Boeing’s 737 MAX software outsourced to $12.80-an-hour engineers, now fleets of airplanes can't fly

Ik vind het wel erg jammer dat het kabinet geen correctief referendum wil, wat wel wordt aanbevolen. Het sleepwetreferendum is een mooi voorbeeld van een belangrijk thema dat te weinig aandacht kreeg in de campagnes en door een (niet-bindend) referendum op de agenda is gezet.

Resources come in from the north: copper, iron/steel, circuits, stone/brick, coal and solid fuel/plastic.

In the south trains leave with the resources that every subfactory needs: RGB, gray, purple, yellow and white. And finally a science train collects all science packs at the laboratory to the right. All trains run on nuclear fuel created by the centrifuge in the northwest.

The only exception is lubricant for electric engines (yellow), which comes in by pipe.

The other elements are the circuit factory, the refinery, the nuclear plant and the mining/smelting outposts.

This is really an incredible time for a 100% (all achievements) speedrun. The record for the previous version was 14 hours.

It is slightly easier now because the assemblers are not limited by number of inputs anymore, but I wouldn't think 9 hours was possible.

The nozzle failure happens at 2:10.

Strangely enough the NGIS engineers described this as a 'successful test' and called the disintegration of the nozzle just an 'issue'. This solid rocket motor will be the first stage of NGIS' Omega rocket, and is related to the Space Shuttle's and SLS's solid rocket boosters.

Dark matter and dark energy are not undetectable. They are the names for something that clearly influences matter in the galaxy through gravity. For dark matter there are even maps where it is calculated to be more and less dense. This is mostly at the same place as galaxies and clusters. But dark matter and dark energy do not interact through electromagnetism, this is why they are called dark.

Black holes can be very visible through their accretion disks. The black hole in the center of the Milky Way galaxy has not been photographed yet because the center of the galaxy is full of many stars that are a lot brighter than this black hole's accretion disk. But since 10 April we have a picture of a black hole with an accretion disk in the galaxy Messier 87.

About your question: if string theorists are to be believed, there are many hidden dimensions on a very small scale. I don't think string theory is a useful development in theoretical physics, because it has not provided any observable predictions.

Also noteworthy: a higher attendance, breaking the multi-year trend.

The eurosceptics of Le Pen, Farage and Salvini become the largest party in France, UK, and Italy, but in other countries eurosceptics score less than was expected.

For the first time in European Parliament history the grand coalition, EPP + S&D, does not gain a majority, so a three or maybe four-party coalition will be needed.

The moon doesn't fall apart because it has enough mass to create significant gravity. At the surface of the moon the gravitational acceleration is 1/6 of Earth, which means that pieces of the Moon cannot just drift away into space. Gases however can easily escape with 1/6 gravity, which is why the Moon has no atmosphere.

Het wetsvoorstel had wettelijk moeten vastleggen wat in de praktijk al gebeurt. De zorgverzekeraars gebruiken bij de controle op fraude al enkele jaren het stappenplan dat in het wetsvoorstel wordt voorgesteld. Dat gebeurt op basis van een regeling die de minister eigenhandig had opgesteld zonder goedkeuring te vragen aan het parlement. De afgelopen jaren hebben zorgverzekeraars zonder toestemming en zonder patiënten te informeren in circa 2500 medische dossiers per jaar gekeken.
