The people who wrote the declaration were monarchists or (later) Bonapartists. Obviously they were quite liberal compared to the Count of Artois. But to me they seem much closer to modern centre-right/conservatives (obviously Liberal c

True it depends on the exact period we are talking about. The situation was pretty different in ~1000AD and in 1200. By the later period Constantinople’s influence in the west was waning or even non-existant. e.g. by during the first Crusad

Luxottica is an Italian company, though. I’m not sure its presence is much stronger in US than in Europe. I think they focus more on the frames than on lenses. Essilor which merged with Luxottica is pretty big in Europe as well. And it’s al

No, it was designed to strike fear and terror into the hearts of common soldiers so that they would run away/surrender instead of fighting. Civilians were just collateral damage. The uprising happened during the first war, but Bush I d

My point was that while they are suffering huge losses this year they are actually doing fine. Seems the situation is similar with Uber, just that they were unlucky to become cash flow positive at the same time the market went down signific

Except that Uber sold it’s self driving division so they are unlikely to be at the forefront of that transition. There is nothing special about their app/platform so they are unlikely to derive significant profits just from that.

by yywwbbn 4y ago
Cars don’t break down as much and last much longer. A 20 year old car nowadays can still be perfectly usable. So in effectively they did get cheaper, just buy used (at least that was the case until 2020..)

Heat pumps are quite efficient . So it’s probably still a lesser crime than burning stuff to heat something.

I find it hard to imagine it would take significantly more than 15 minutes for most people to ‘learn’ how to drive an automatic car even if they only drove a manual before.

Wasn’t debt slavery abolished quite in Roman history? I don’t think there is much evidence that free citzens were often reduced to slavery. Slaves were almost exclusively war captives or imported from abroad.

It’s not at all obvious to me that the economy of Rome in 1st century A.D. would have been that much more complex than that of Byzantium in 11-12th centuries. Is there any evidence showing this?
