We're talking about Europe here. The choices are there. Around here (greater Paris) I see a lot of Chinese brands (BYD, MG, Volvo) and domestics too (VW, Renault). Edit: I meant to reply to u/petesergeant above.

When I moved to the US it was a cultural shock to have people call me by my first name. But I got used to it quickly and now everything else seems awkward, especially since my last name is hard to pronounce.

Oh, sweet soy sauce is a thing in Asia? I thought it was a French invention (all restaurants here give you both savory and sweet soy sauce). Also I just had gyozas with Lee Kum Kee light soy sauce and thought it's a good test for it.

Which prepared foods show off the qualities of the soy sauce best? I feel like in most of my cooking the soy sauce is overpowered.

I don't understand the comment about the small battery from installers. Don't they allow customization?

If you like geometry I recommend problem 2 from that 1987 IMO. Simple formulation, elegant solution. Hard, but not crazy hard imo. "In an acute-angled triangle ABC the interior bisector of the angle A intersects BC at L and intersects

I don't understand how they plan to update my 4-year-old Toyota.

That's me as well. Stopping and taking a picture, quickly judging the framing and lighting, helps with fixating the scene in my memory as well.

Why is this? We've been told that the cost of batteries is in freefall for years now. Why aren't they competitive yet with ICE, even if they are heavier?

When they talk about trade deficits do they take into account tourism and other cross-border services? Or is it just goods, and in that case why focus on goods?

Cool idea! I tried French with manual input. How do I move on, there is no button to advance.

The title uses the stock stat because it's so unbalanced. But to me the scariest statistic is the other one mentioned in the article: "the top 10% also accounts for 50% of all consumer spending". This seems extremely fragile.

Yes, but sadly a 10 is often used by fans of a lead actor to pump the ratings, and a 0/1 is used by the moral police as a protest vote.

Having worked on a rating system, I think 10 levels are useful (or 5 levels with half-stars). You can create better averages/recs using 10 levels, since ratings of 0 or 10, which are often spammy, can be down-weighed.

> Completely different approaches that people actually think about for a while I think this is very likely simply because there are so many smart people looking at it right now. I hope the bubble doesn't burst before it happens.

It's in the DFW sense: "There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship."

I like gradual change. I see things here in France changing (for the better mostly) here and there but yes no dramatic shifts. The US model seems irresponsible by comparison.

I give it a higher chance of succeeding in saving money while at the same time destroying a lot of things and creating problems that will take decades to fix.

Yes, exactly. You can hear it in this transcribed video, around 1:35: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiOybe-NJHk

From that graph it looks like residential went down quite a lot, which makes sense since that was the main usage of incandescents.

But did it not lead to net less electricity used for lighting?

I'm in France and it still doesn't work. They might have just turned it off completely. Edit: Nevermind, it works from an incognito window. So it's just my account they banned.

I'm not sure there's a good WHY. To me both weather and AI are similarly complex and inscrutable, so they seem right for each other.

> is a space ever a valid character in a word? No, because then how do you define a word? I suspect grammar has another term(!?) for the concept you're looking for.
