Bank branches for physical contact decreased everywhere, Covid was the last nail in the coffin for many. In the meantime, backoffice jobs rose or even exploded. More and more complex IT, way more regulations from everywhere. Not sure how ov

I agree, I think they are trying to cargo-cult Silicon Valley ecosystem without realizing that it will never have a chance in European's clueless bureaucracy, massive social safety nets etc. It doesn't mean nothing can be built, b

The problem is the question itself - the only acceptable FSD is the one I don't have to do any interventions. My mind can wander, I can read a book or watch a movie, or sleep. Only thing I am willing to actually pay for. Anything less

One thing I would go miles and miles to avoid - having it break down during use, releasing god knows what into my food. Acidity breaks it down? What if some ketchup in bun or some other acidic part of food is wrapped with it? In 2 hours whe
