Musk is part owner of Tesla, I wasn't aware he also had connections with Audi, BMW, Jaguar Land Rover, and all the other premium brands which have also seen a steep decline in sales in Europe and the UK? Don' be fooled by your med

The sentiment in the UK is not that unhinged, and the incumbents are woeful. Current UK Govt may be the major obstacle?

Location is a huge factor. I live in a rural part of the country where the main hospital serves mainly small towns and villages. The service is not perfect but, compared to the nearest big city, (20 miles away) it is night and day.

I have heard the exact same thing. The reason given being a lack of confidence in whoever they were dealing with. For many people, first contact with the NHS is the 111 call centre which really is akin to a health lottery.

The non-technical answer is that people do not care so long as it's safer and less unpleasant than the current alternative. My last taxi ride involved jumping red lights and speeding through residential streets at 60mph because, I assu

I think it's inevitable that businesses will optimise for profit at the expense of quality as far as they are able without tarnishing their brand. Sports shoe companies, for example, have proven that you can take this to extremes so lo

I have heard Temu being described as a store where no sane person would buy anything. This suggests marketing purely to sane people isn't the best route to success?

I used to buy from John Lewis since they tended to have a curated selection of products and the reviews (where they exist) haven't been gamed. I don't recall a purchase that I have regretted. Not so sure now they are becoming just

Businesses are not suddenly going to dispose of their current fleet because something new comes along. For most, I imagine, their trucks will be on some kind of fixed-term lease agreement.

I believe most publishers are still using human writers although the are obviously all getting their ideas from the same source. It's hard to find any 'lifestyle' content that doesn't have 100 or so similar versions. Aro

'According to our AI Content Detector' I used to employ a writer who was very good but, over time, I could see patterns and phrases that were uniquely hers - her fondness for the word juxtapose became a bit of joke. The benefit of

You make it seem much simpler than it is in reality. I accept the process for renewals has been streamlined with considerable success but, as someone who recently helped a friend apply for his first passport a couple of years ago, I can att

In the UK - 2006-2008 you could buy a home at a reasonable multiple of earnings and be offered a 110% mortgage with no checks whether that income actually existed. Yes, that was crazy, but many of those heaping criticism on young people str

A lot of Spanish property buyers (I'd go so far as to say the majority) are Dutch and German (both in the EU) so I'm not sure who this idea is supposed to be helping?

Waymo can do no wrong though, being part of an organization that's never ever done a bad thing, and different rules apply.

I own a car which sits unused for 99% of the time. Traditional taxis and unreliable/unpleasant public transport are the reason I keep it. I can imagine many people are in the same position and would gladly do without the hassle if only

This kind of happened in the UK already. For instance, Bournmouth, a town on the South Coast, attracted homeless people for the obvious reason that the climate is typically warmer than most other places. I assume SF held a similar initial

Anecdotally, a manufacturer of car headlights told an an acquaintance, a few years ago, that some cars would be written off solely if headlights were damaged due to increasing cost. I wouldn't be surprised if this was becoming true, to

The consequences of robots.txt misuse can also be disastrous for a regular site. For example, I've seen instances where multiple warnings of 'page indexed but blocked by robots.txt' have led to sites being severely down-ranke
