I’m a bit confused here. ReviewMeta, the site that filtered review, was mostly making money by selling items as an Amazon seller ? The business model was to find items people are browsing on Amazon and then find a drop shipping niche ?

I’m in Europe. Earlier this year, I ordered from Amazon Japan, the package arrived quicker than things I had ordered earlier on a European Amazon and it was insanely well packaged.

For the customer service part, I suppose that if the user has any issue, they'll likely go to Apple first which can't do anything and make the user experience less ideal. As of today, they can refund the user which keeps them happ

With Binance starting to have Tesla stock tokens, it would be funny if they started doing the same for Coinbase shares.

Overvalued, maybe. But comparing last year production of cars is in my opinion a bad metrics to compare Tesla to other automakers. First Tesla is growing fast so that $50k will drastically go down in the coming years. Tesla is more vertical

I didn’t quit my job but took a three months leave of absence to travel the work with my SO and our two kids (2 and 4 at the time). It was great and we had planned to do it again in 2020 then COVID hit. Now my kids are of compulsory school

There is a company called SpaceMobile backed by Rakuten that claims they can provide 4G from space without changing anything to existing devices. I haven’t been able to find documentation on how it works but as they claim you can do 4G in t

If people do this, it only shows that the normal price is too high for many. And I guess it’s against their ToS.

As a European, could you explain this a bit ? How does identity theft differ between credit and debit cards ?

I’m a bit surprised that none of the panelists are coming from SWIFT (or Ripple) while they have the CEO of Stellar.

They could have pivoted to people that had 5 minutes between meetings and wanted some entertainment while making a new cup of coffee. I’m pretty sure there are millions of us now.

Most of your positives are more than 10 years old. In the meantime they've remove the "Don't be evil" motto, their Android/Chromebook support is very short lived, they've killed countless services people relied

Maybe because it’s not the same ? I don’t own a Jeep but Lane assist typically means warning the user if you drive over the line. Tesla steers by itself and more. Adaptive Cruise Control typically works only above a given speed. Tesla’s doe

To your last point, to me, it feels that they try to hide their private labels. Some are named “Amazon XXX” but most are not: Solimo, Presto and countless clothing brands. I mostly realise that they are Amazon brands when I notice they are

I have an HP TouchPad, the tablet that ran WebOS. Almost ten years later there are still people that are making Android versions for it. The battery sucks by now and the CPU is not very powerful so it’s not snappy but it’s still usable for

Travel light, buy what you need along the way. Take long flights during the night so they'll sleep. Take trains/subways instead of cars/taxis as they'll be able to walk around and interact with other people. Mix activiti

I was already on that trend by noticing that I get more pleasure from my side projects than my 9-5 job. That also lead me to the FI/RE mindset. Then two years ago, 3 people I knew died including the young son of close friends. Death us
