It's definitely more like the railways of the 1880s. Lots of companies, with more-or-less the same product, competing for a highly extrapolated theoretical demand. Out of all that excitement comes an eventual crash and rationalization.

My kids, ages 8 and 6 walk 2 km home from school on their own. New Zealand, largest city. It's definitely fairly normal here. It's hard to fathom that this could be considered illegal.

A great stereo system. Expensive, but it gets used every day and music sounds fantastic on it, and it will easily last 20+ years (my last one did).

I guess electrolysis of hydrogen from water isn't really a very efficient process so would therefore need a lot of energy. It's the same reason that we're not all driving around in hydrogen powered cars.

Some interesting parallels with automotive industry here. Cisco saw huge valuation base on a perceived future. Nortel (who were more of an incumbent) also saw massive stock price increases at that time. Only one of these two companies survi
