I get your arguments and when I think about it, I agree with you. It is similar to Tesla roof tiles: they are expensive, not so efficient, take longer time to install than regular solar panels. They just look good on your roof (also disputa

Tesla's misleading statements are just PR. Nothing more.

Great idea! At first sight, looks cool and useful for the host. However, the difference between the Low Medium and High revenue potential seems too big to me. It looks more like guessing than the actual estimate. Moreover, I don't like

That study actually didn't find that optimistic people slept better. They were just more optimistic about their quality of sleep :-)

I can speak 5 languages but having a drink didn't help me to learn any of them :-) Quite the contrary.

The data visualizations look really cool. Firstly I have a bit of issue about how to browse between different charts. Then I got it, but I find it still complicated. The navigation elements could be more clear. I am an economist and I didn&

I know already all of the advice. Yet, I don't follow any of them. Maybe would be great to write an article about how to get rid of those bad habits :-)

Not a bad chart. I can imagine it a bit more useful and less cluttered by removing bathroom selfies. Yet I understand the viral element: Burn it with fire!

I really like the idea. It is like an aggregator of internet trends on different topics. I can imagine many use cases where it is helpful. (Not just marketing and PR.) I checked your site but didn't get if you can search those trends b

I get your point. So is roof-based solar pure marketing?

That is true, people (and especially politicians) nowadays seem indifferent to climate change. Think about it, it is partly because of the narrative of the story. If you imagine a hypothetical situation that there is big asteroid flying tow

I agree with smartphones as the fundamental change. But what else in the last 10 years?

Totally agree with that.

1 minute with the vehicle slowing down and speeding up again? If it is bus it goes to the bus stop, other cars have to allow it to go back to the main road. Edit: 5 minutes would be way too much if I think about it again - you are right.

World population projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050 (up from the current world population of 7.3 billion). I can't imagine we can extinct, we are the least-threatened of the species living on this planet.

I would argue here that fully self-driving cars are not so close. Not in 10 years definitely. The problem is not so easy and we are quite far from solving it. It can work on the highway and great weather conditions. Yet, what will happen in

Larger tiles would probably help a bit. And to be honest, at the beginning I liked the idea of solar roof tiles. The more I think of it the more it seems as a not-so-good idea. You are solving some problems in a very inefficient manner.

Exactly, that was my point. I don't know if it makes sense to pay a large premium for the roof aesthetics. From my point of view, it is just a bad design of the product. Maybe it will change in the future, but for now, I wouldn't

Why do you believe the 2020s will be a period of rapid change?

Great article. When you design in that niche in your mind, it gives you a different perspective. It is a similar approach to what feature to have in the product is equally important to what features not to have there.

I was in Antwerp this year for the first time thus I can agree with the article. It really is super easy to move around with the bike. Countries like Belgium, Holland, and Denmark are famous for that. They even have big parking lots for bic

I live in Europe (in Prague right now) and I never needed to own a car here. I would say it depends on the city in Europe. However, if you occasionally happen to be outside of the city center where only cars go you would call Uber. I am fin

I am living in Prague now and you really don't need a car here. The same applies to Antwerp that I visited this year. I am not sure how well you know Europe, but there are many cities where you don't need a car and public transpor

I agree with you. In the case of LA metro area, it is just too spread city = badly designed. If you imagine even fast public transport, to get from one side of LA to the other side, it would still require a lot of stops in the low populatio
