   No idea, but I'm not convinced it would be worse. Maybe we'd try more international consensus and only do UN sanctioned intervention and peace keeping. Best way to figure it out might be for the US to try it :) (but it seems to go

   Technically, there kinda is an EA foundation: https://ea-foundation.org/ Tho for me it's mostly an umbrella org, that allows to easily donate to orgs following the EA movement (since many of them are not registered in

   Here we're talking about urban transportation, it's fairly rare to have different class of service.

   Is that true for residents who are not EU citizens as well? (At least for France I don't think it is)

    Are you talking about sales tax, or corporate taxes? Out of curiosity, what makes you think it should be D, assuming you were talking about corporate tax? With a much simpler example, if a merchant in e.g. France sells a product to a consum

    Assuming you are talking about corporate taxes (not sales tax / VAT). If those were all different companies (one company doing the sales, one company hosting the infrastructure, one company developing the system, etc.) doing arm's

    For what is worth the 5 is better than the 5X in almost every dimension (I regretted switching). (And the 5 has a chance of still working after 5 years, you're lucky if a 5X is not dead from bootloop after 2).

    Wasn't the 8% due to the deferment of foreign income tax? And with the US tax reform they will pay it for all those years of accumulated profit (and they are no longer able to defer it). Eg. Alphabet had a 3B loss last quarter due to t

    Maybe the difference is that one worked with the city / people to set it up, and the other mostly dumped a bunch of bikes everywhere? (and doesn't pay for any of the negative externalities that comes with it).

    Esp. since cities like Zurich are also facing similar backlash against dockless bike invasion.

    The other argument is that it forces people to save money (to pay back mortgage). All buy vs. rent comparison assume you save and invest some money, which requires financial discipline. (It's an argument I discovered recently, does not

    Were you objecting to " all of waze data"? Because otherwise your statement seems pretty strong without references. Technical issues can have solutions :) I guess someone motivated could run some experiments and try to figure out

    Did you actually do the experiment recently? I'd be surprised if gmaps doesn't do the prediction you describe (I used to be in a sister team of the team doing traffic prediction).

    Also if Germany is similar to Switzerland, there's mandatory training for dog owners, and dogs are very well educated (e.g. they are not supposed to bark). Nice thing is that kids are also taught to e.g. always ask the owner before int
