Battery swapping could have been a good idea, if instead of telling a story:"We'll replace all the cars in the world, we are already talking with heads of state", they've said:"As a first step, let's concentrat

It's called low-code, the tools exist, can even build complex systems pretty well. Outsystems and Mendix are some of the good ones. But they cost money, they have a built-in lock-in, and programmers don't like them, because they s

It's not that hard to find great recipes, from respected chefs with good user reviews, that have high likelihood to turn out very tasty. So how could you improve that? And where's the value?

Given the cost of delivery, Do you think some version of grocery pickup is here to stay? Or over a few years those will be gone? And does this mean someone will probably build a parcel locker network for groceries?
