Same thing happened to me, but it was not to sell me something. It was nefarious enough that I cannot talk about it, without creating even more damages. Social engineering can still go all the way, where irremediable damage can be done. T

Not sure why I have been downvoted. My parents are french boomers, and I could totally see them buying such vehicle for their common errands. They do not live a dense city, like Paris. While they both enjoy biking, I do not see them goin

Met Mr Hightower for the first time, at a CoreOS meetup, and it was memorable. I wish I was this cool and good at presentations and demos :) It has been awesome to see over the years, the deserved recognition, and reaching more people !

I doubt Citroen would make a big dent in the bicycle market, especially in super dense cities like Paris. But I could see such vehicle popular with boomers living in the country side. That would provide some freedom to move around in a fai

I worked a swimming pool decades ago, and saw parents giving their pre-teen kids some drugs like Guronsan ( https://www.drugs.com/international/guronsan.html ) before swimming competition. It might be legal, but it was

And Paris is one of the most touristic place on earth, so the pressure to convert long-term rentals in short-term rentals is extreme. Paris has been testing that detrimental effect for several years now. It is so lucrative that an economy

Sure, compare to negative return, 14% in 4 years is nice. Still it is a return of 3.3% per year. Nice, but not great. I was relativizing the return. Clearly, during that 2016-2020 period, pretty much any major tech stock would have do way

Softbank bought ARM in 2016 and paid $32B ($35B of 2020 USD after 4 years of inflation). And today they get $40B but partly in Nvidia stocks... Assuming that Softbank manages to sell immediately the Nvidia stock and get their $40B, it is m

Prop 13 has lots of consequences, but the issue with housing supply in California is mostly due to zoning. We could build way more by relaxing zoning code, we do not need to repeal the almighty prop 13. It is like the argument I read yeste

Yes, if some US famers want to do some Iberico-style ham, they should be able to, but they cannot call it Iberico. They should build their brand, and not confuse consumers with a geographically based label that is clearly not accurate. They

I could have seen Mozilla build an enhanced email service like Hey! Actually, they could still probably do it, it would align with their focus on privacy and experience with email reader.

How can you make sure that nobody in your family give their DNA, though ? Because by doing so, they partially reveal your DNA, and this can be used against you, especially if like The Blackstone Group, they also own healthcare companies.

by llsf 6y ago
Exactly this! This is not just a personal privacy decision (i.e. I give or not my DNA). If any of my family gave their DNA, I am now traceable. This is exponentially bad, and not regulated accordingly. The Blackstone Group is the privat

Yes, you are in debt. Depending on your bank, your history with the bank, and the amount owed, it can go from nothing, to triggering a penalty, or an immediate freeze of all your bank accounts (across all banks/institutions in the cou

That is the thing that it took me a while to understand once arriving in US from Europe. In Europe I did not care the least if someone managed to hack my credit card. The bank is liable. The bank is responsible to make as secure as possi

I am wondering if the current Tesla high stock price is also lifted up by short squeeze. Some of the billions of dollars shorting Tesla are giving up, as they do not see a way to make money in the foreseeable future.

I agree, we should just realize and agree that universal postal service cannot be profitable and accept the cost (tax), like we do for military expenses for instance. Having said that, having a universal postal service requires physical pre

It is not a novel idea to privatize the postal service. It can be lucrative business, especially if focused on the right areas. The legacy system is based on the fact that it is public service, equally offered to all citizens, regardless o

by llsf 6y ago
In France, that is one way that the postal service survived. Actually, the banking service is also "universal" (every post office provide the service), allowing very remote places to have banking and postal service in one place.

Even on the ground, at the airport the people checkin for tickets are way older in US, than their counterpart in Europe. It is not just flying attendants. But maybe this is specific to US airlines.
