I agree, although not sure if the current main legacy car manufacturers (VW, BMW, GM, even Toyota) would necessarily be the leaders in non-western countries. They might be losing on both sides, the high-end electric vehicles (less volume,

You are right, in theory one can go electric and keep a dealer network. Although, the maintenance is supposed to be dramatically less (less moving parts in EV vs. ICE, no complex engine). So, even if you want to keep the dealer network, t

I am wondering if, after 2020, western countries would not need as many cars that they used to have. It feels like new generations do not own as many cars as their parents. If self-driving are indeed coming soon, dropping the cost of tran

I arrived in the SV 12 years ago (2006) with already $20k savings. I had a $100k job initially to now $140k. My rent was $1,400 for tiny but cute studio. I stayed in that studio for 5 years (until 2011) and managed to saved $100k total.

Some pension funds, like one of the largest ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_Pension_Fund_of_Nor... ) with over US$1 trillion in assets, you can offered indeed to put some pressure on the companies you invested

France (and other countries) does not use a FICO score. They mostly rely on your current income and to sometimes on your current wealth as collateral. But you cannot simply take the money, and never payback either. France has a central b

I am not sure it completely accurate to compare Tesla with GM or Ford. Tesla is not a car company (they removed the word "Motors" from the original "Tesla Motors", like Apple removed "Computers" earlier). The

In Paris, there are the same post-WW2 shelters. I worked in one of them owned at the time by the France Telecom. I liked it as I felt like a spy :) You entered from the street thru a small door. Then in the hall there was a guy behind a

I am not sure if this is the right equation. Should we accept something wrong just because it costs (financially) us (personally) less than fighting for fixing it ? Are we becoming more apathetic than the previous generations ? (real questi

I was thinking about the same use-case, but there are features in InfluxDB (downscaling, retention policies) that are cool when dealing with large amount of data. If Timescale bridges the gap, I would be happy to give a try...

There is no such agencies in lots of countries (e.g. France) and still people get loans. When I came to US, I had to purposely take extra credits/loans to boost my inexistent credit history. Now I am credit worthy thanks to my artific

I could actually consider such system for my neighborhood, but only if it is off-line (i.e. nobody can access the data, unless I decide to deposit some during a crime investigation). A bit like a ATM security camera. I would not mind to ha

Yes, very centralized, but in early 80's with telco companies having pretty much a monopoly on their own respective market, and practically no standard hardware, the Minitel was the best that could be done to get a large chunk of the p

Removing roaming fees for all European telecom operators was also a something that they had little to gain and everything to lose. But, here we are. From my understanding SEPA is getting implemented. I could see PSD2 following the same pa

I guess that was the Monoprix's point that have a system with no cashier for more than 10 year now. Or do you mean that the 10 years old system pushed Amazon to innovate by redoing it with an app ?

I agree that in some markets the airbnb prices are close cheap hotels. From my experience, I used to use Airbnb in Paris (France) and for the past 2 years, I ended up in an hotel, since it was cheaper. Now, hotels pricing is way more flexi

I might have over-react. I just hope that it is not a deliberate choice from NRA to target such video. I get it that the targeting can be complex and factor lots of different things. The end result here is a bit disturbing.
