Sure, the TGV is a standard-gauge set that can run in most of Western Europe's rail. The issue is that regular rail can't run on the TGV lines. Japan/France took a different approach than Germany/Switzerland for HSR. Ger

Nope. There was no high-speed rail in Japan then. Japan wasn't in the 60's what Switzerland is today.

by ucaetano 8y ago
Indeed, but the network benefits dramatically from - naturally - network effects. Today you rarely ever see infrastructure projects in Switzerland which are incompatible with the existing network. If you build a hyperloop tunnel, only hyper

Which leads to one of two scenarios: 1) They knew SIPC wouldn't cover it, but decided to lie about it anyway 2) They weren't competent enough to assess the risk that SIPC wouldn't cover it, but decided to launch anyway withou

YouTube isn't an independent "company" in the strict sense of the word (even if it has its own legal entities), it is just a division/product of Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet.

Are you claiming that the jobs won't leave no matter how expensive the workers are?

by ucaetano 8y ago
Yep, and when workers in that hub become too expensive and less efficient because of unions, where do you think the jobs will move? US unions rely largely on holding a monopoly on the supply of labor. When that monopoly disappears, they los

It is retaliation for another business competing with you. That is literally using your market power to try to reduce competition. But taking anti-competitive actions by itself isn't necessarily an issue, but it is a problem if you&#x2

I believe OP mens abusing market power to prevent competition. Although if it is or not a monopoly and an abuse of market power is dubious, but it clearly is anti-competitive. This is similar to Amazon shutting off Google Products from any

This is actually great for the web. Having two competitors like Google and MS contributing to a single rendering engine, and competing on the actual browsers means less fragmentation without the single-entity-control problem.

If your product is inferior, what do you do until you can make it better? Shut down your company?

They can ask Canada to do so, usually through legal cooperation/assistance agreements. But it remains Canada's decision to help or not.

On the higher range, but if you consider that it is global LTE data, it is an amazing deal, particularly if you use more than 6GB/month. Being able to land or drive into a country and have LTE working without having to do anything is a

And then you need to pay taxes on the bitcoin used to pay the taxes! Well, only if you bought it a while back, in the early stages of the pyramid.
