The insurance part will settle out over time as they get more data I would imagine. 500$ a year is very little for any car, but I opened a Nissan leaf for 8 years and spent less that 2K, of which 1K was for the AC

The article linked speaks of 70 to 80k yuan, which I then turned into euros

So 7000 to 8000 euros to replace a battery of a 80 to 100k car? It depends on how many miles it has driven and how much other maintenance the car has had. It's a big expense but a battery dying is probably comparable to a timing belt b

Not sure what age your kids are, but if they're below 10 I can guarantee you that your kids will be slowing you down, bit the car. Kids need to use the bathroom would be filling up the battery well over 25% if it wasn't almost ful

Yikes... That's an interesting angle. Not sure how you would intercept both, I would assume/hope they would be sent separately preferably using different methods

So that's the worst of both worlds. Still a cc company involved, so they'll take a cut without any of the advantages. Not even sure why that's a product

But most debit cards cannot be used with just the numbers. So I can give you my debit card and you can't do anything with it. You typically need a PIN for any decent purchase. Sure you can tap to pay but that wouldn't be a lot of

Sat, past tense. Yes there's still quite a bit in there but the Netherlands is VERY densely populated. And public opinion has swayed towards letting it sit there. The real reason it's off limits is simply because of externalities.

Every atm has a camera... So they could just check that. Also, that means the person had the PIN too? That becomes harder to defend

My experience with disputes isn't that.... Yes we'll open a dispute. Yes we'll give you a credit immediately. But then we just take the sellers word for it that they're trying to make it right and charge you anyway. This

My friend, as a rule of thumb, every additional player im a transaction takes a cut. So assuming the rest is all the same, you just paid exactly what you would've paid with a debit card. Because the merchant had to raise prices to acco

Stay on your own rooftop please. That is a very US only view. There's nothing wrong with debit cards being used. If I can shout one thing back up to your rooftop: Why on earth do your transactions cost 2 or 3 percent. For what? For bas

I'm not sure it would've happened without the US messing around. Other countries look more favorable now than they did before.

Americans are much more comfy than Iranians are though. As much as Americans might dislike what's going on, they're not fighting got their own survival. Democracy, authoritarianism are all abstract and vague concepts

I was more thinking of increasing throughput on existing power lines. That's a lot of work/money that'll need to be spent if we want to switch cars and heating to electric.

One reason cost might be going up is because the grid needs upgrades. A house might have a typical peak power demand of 1kWH. Now? It might peak at 10. I'm making up these numbers by the way. Everywhere that I know of, you pay for the
