  It is not the size of the Dutch flag that matters, it is that you use it.

  Because they are students? Both are high demand professions, I don’t get it.

  I can hear its warcry in every panel. Convincing arguments. m.youtube.com/watch?v=cBkWhkAZ9ds

  I’m impressed they could get their momentum going for so long, they were able to burn so much money and only now are investors pulling out? That was a serious hype train! Even if it was meant as lobby sponsoring against standard high speed rail, holy cow what a waste!

  I like it. You can rent a parking spot in central Amsterdam for the same price, this is more value and utility for the money.

  Exactly, my television is an ips lcd with an arm based programmable microcomputer with software that translates input signals for the display, LED backlighting and an internal power supply. Although, I wouldn’t be able to repair it, there are no spare parts.

  Every washing machine has an embedded system that controls the washing cycle and needed programming for that. That’s not common knowledge and they rather put functionality in their marketing than function.

  We need a right to repair and common instructions how to fix things, maybe that helps dissolving the magic.

  I think this is one step further, that technology has become so abstract and complex that people who focus on different crafts and careers are using magical black boxes. It blows my mind how my neighbour goes through life without any concept of what a phone app is. He just uses functionality and memorized the associated logo. I’m an engineering wizard to him.
