> The flight from Melbourne back to Toulouse covered 12,460 nautical miles in total, according to Airbus.

> To handle such ultra long-range flights, Airbus describes the aircraft as being equipped with an extra rear center fuel tank capable of carrying 20,900 liters (5,521 gallons). That extends the aircraft range by 1,000 nautical miles to ensure it can cover the nearly 10,000 nautical miles for the nonstop flights between Sydney and either London or New York.

How did they bridge the gap of 2460 nautical miles?


>By comparison, Qantas Airways expects the maximum Project Sunrise flight time with the new Airbus A350-1000ULR to be 21 hours and 40 minutes during commercial flights between Sydney and New York or London—more than enough to set a new world record. The latest test flight certainly surpassed that benchmark.

I am guessing that a test with minimal self loading cargo will need to go further. With <some tons> more cargo it will go <predictably shorter distance>

Or in other words, it went further than the rating because it was unloaded.

Just a guess, mostly to provoke the real aerospace engineers into commenting.


I think the wind is super fast up there and on the route they fly with the prevailing wind.

Therefore it’s not unreasonable that a several hundred mph wind would close the gap.


No, he's in Switzerland. Unexpectedly, I must say, as many big tech including AI labs are expanding here


I fear when someone says which country you are so fast lol.


As if „deploying“ your app to your iPhone was free…


Someone chose to ignore Google Maps terms and publicly blog about it


These are just 2, what happened to all the other 1999 tech companies?


Because of the implication that markets are moved by amateurs and their hope?


Irrational exuberance the very thing this indicator was intended to track.


> When we first launched native image generation in Gemini 2.0 Flash earlier this year, you told us you loved its low latency, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use.

I wasn't aware there is a channel where Google asks for feedback or where you are able to tell them that you love it. I only see a "report a problem button". Which channel is it?


Let me tell you about this app called “X”, formerly known as “Twitter”. People use it to post their opinions about products, among other things.


Frankfurt kitchen without a shower?


The shower is around the corner I just uploaded the bathroom pictures to the same URL.


I think the parent comment was referring to the original article. (You keep replying to comments throughout this forum as if people are talking about your personal project, which is confusing.)


Sorry about that. I'm just excited to see something so relevent to what I'm working on. I'm trying to contrast the comments about the original with the details I considered while trying to modernize.


Why worry about a shower if you're not qualifying for the rental anyway?


What does the mean?


A joke about renting an apartment in Frankfurt, or in any major German city.


I get it now... sorry.


80%? So this is either same Trump style "art of the deal" with setting unreasonable pricing in the first place or desperately needing customers?


Regarding Rust, are we talking about a Rust backend with RPC/REST or is it simply WebAssembly compiled from Rust? If the latter, how is the data synced for CRUD?
