And this has relevance to our discussion on generational improvements, how? Not to mention you can get high quality beans shipped anywhere you want, so you're better off than before!

Tent cities are a product of a broken society in the US, not a global worldwide phenomenon.

I've yet to see an example of this that actually works. I guess Google is one of the heaviest proponents of "get support only if you pay for it". Any others?

The entitlement here in the comments is astounding. I would bet that if you had two competing services, with 1) being expensive but providing you with individual support, while 2) Being cheaper and giving you automatic responses, 99% woul

I don't want to be too hand-wavy, but this feels like such a "get off my lawn" type of comment that I can't even start to analyze it. So many of the items listed are 100% nostalgia or personal anecdotes generalized to a

I've had induction for over 10 years at my parents place and there are no scratches. I have never even seen scratches on inductions stoves. Compared this to the residue/grease that piles in hard to reach places when using gas, its

As in enabling human trafficking, not an innocent victim of it. Sorry for the tone :D

Well this convenience could be shown as a single fee, the delivery fee. Adding to the price might seem non transparent and an example of clouding the consumers judgement.

It is doubledipping. But the phrase. "your margin is my opportunity" should ring true here meaning that soon a competitor should show up that goes by list price. It already happens in Europe with the Finnish company Wolt AFAIK.

Can we refrain from any unfounded hate on a religious group? It's not confirmed that they have some anything malicious, and even so it does nothing to help further solving the problem.

Yep, in Finland its customary to nearly look down on those begging on the street, as most likely this is related to human trafficking or black market crime. We can do this because we know that a normal citizen would never need to do somethi

Right, and I think what you're missing is that its not luck that allowed airbnb to scale, but exactly the combination of ingredients that it had when it started and during its growth. This is not a government monopoly situation. All th

Wow, you are really trying to reduce Airbnb's business arent you? How do you not see a global house/room rental platform not being a complete game changer on how people travel?

I think it's not giving the whole picture of paint WeChat/tencent as a normal company trying to make profit. They are providing a national service, it doesn't need to be profitable.

Thank you so much for this comment. I feel it quite balanced and Lola at the topic from multiple angles. However I would like to inquire why you see Dr.Li's detention as evidence of "shutting down initial reports of the outbreak&q

Registering a company in Finland does not require 3000€ or even close to that. The figure is closer to 100€.

Yeah I suspected this as a possibility, but do you have some kind of hard evidence on it? I do remember the case with the Nepalese restaurants last year tho, it was similar. However, I would like to point out that this is a global phenomeno

Yeah I'm leaning on that hypothesis quite a bit. Low amount of staff, high turnover for customers. Also I see they are doing something the autoamtion of making nigri rice piecies as well.

I'm still at awe of the Sushi Buffet thing that you can see all around in Helsinki, Finland. So far I have not seen anything like it, anywhere else in the world. Usually the price you pay is 10€ for an unrestricted and no time limit ac

Not true, WhatsApp did have a pricing test where certain users were pushed to pay 1€/$ per year. It was never unilaterally enforced.

It's not so clear as it's not entirely objective to determine what companies exist in a certain area. The national mail in Finland is tasked to do letter service, which no other postal company is doing. Letter service is also the
