Uber did not destroy his industry. Industry is flourishing. It's state's fault for not providing a good social safety net. Imagine if we all had to use horses, because the government did not want to "destroy" the industr

Maybe that was just an excuse to reduce labour costs? Senior people are expensive and if you can replace them with cheaper workforce, which incidentally is younger, is one way to skin a cat. When I was an intern in a bank they were laying p

I don't think that's good enough. Dividend still have a connotation that you are getting a handout.

Prediction: UBI won't go anywhere, because it has a branding problem. If we rebrand it as a Negative Income Tax it may actually go somewhere.

FF is good on my mobile. I use it as well as Brave. On my laptop I use mostly Chrome and sometimes FF. I'd imagine Apple will team up with Mozilla, so we would have two major browser engines.

Yes, but the improvements are substantial. At city speeds the EVs are much quieter. Air pollution from the rubber and brake dust is much lower (regenerative braking, special tires, tree resin compounds). You will never get rid of cars in th
