I remember when we launched our Japanese tea service [1]: we wanted to switch to Stripe so badly that I was emailing them at the very least once a month, until we made it in their beta program. I'm not sure the youngest remember what t

Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2 In English: 6 carbon dioxide molecules and 6 water molecules become 1 glucose molecule and 6 dioxygen molecules. So for each CO2 molecule in, there is one O2 molecule out. Now it's entirely p

Don't worry, the duopoly will soon die. Comac is coming with the C919 and C929, and with a huge captive domestic market they are bound to succeed (given enough time). I know I will sound cynical, but if the past is any indication of wh

Why wouldn't they? Engines are by far the most expensive and critical parts of an airliner. So airlines issue RFPs to engine makers to extract the best possible price/conditions. The result of these RFPs is usually a matter of pub

The comparison with Tesla is not valid: when you buy a Tesla, you buy a Tesla from Tesla. When you buy a Boeing 787, you chose the engines (GE or Rolls Royce) and buy them directly from the engine maker. You would also sign a maintenance&#x

If most American startups aren't able to hire American workers at competitive pay and start moving little by little to (say) Canada, aren't there a risk that the whole VC/startup ecosystem will slowly move there? If the Apple

We send very different kind of teas, but they are all Japanese teas. So for instance we only sent black tea once [1] so far because wakocha is pretty rare, though it is gaining in popularity among tea producers. I recently found a very good

If you buy a new laptop every 2 to 3 years for work, you can simply switch back to the previous one if needed. Assuming you are not reselling it. I tend to upgrade every five years: my current laptop (MacBook Pro) is from 2016 and I see no

The soviet union shot a U-2 spy plane in 1960 [1]. It didn't start a war then. Iran Air Flight 655 [2] was shot down by the US in 1988, and it didn't start a war either. Albeit US thought they were targeting a military aircraft, b

Given that French companies are also affected, I fail to see how it could be construed as a tariff. The goal of tariffs is to penalize foreign corporations. That tax is directed at a sector. It will not help the few French actors in that se
