Are you familiar with the fact that _still_ , after years of hype and hundreads of billions of $ in the system, there is not a single app that has reached mainstream adoption? In fact, interest is fading without any major breakthrough achieved. I actually do run a {insert random blockchain based hyped decentral protocol here} app and I can see that absolutely nothing has happened or changed during the last year or so.

Isn’t that essentially what’s happening to Crypto in general?

Yes and because Elon artificially inflated the price this week with buying stock with his own money.

The issue with those tools is that Amazon changes the product layout very often and heavily conducts A/B tests. I’ve once even heard that computer vision is the most stable way to scrape Amazon. I guess this library will stop working rather soon.

Question: What do the wealthy people do with their fortunes?

Hint: They’re not letting it sit idle in their savings account.

> Just like how no e-commerce/retailer wants to use AWS for competitive reason

My former employer, a major e-commerce player in Europe and a direct competitor of Amazon, had basically their entire infrastucture on AWS. You might want to reconsider your definition of “no”.

1) Spring Boot on Google App Engine free tier

2) Managed Postgres on GCP/AWS

3) Frontend framework of the day, like React or Vue.

4) Take 1-2 hours in the beginning to set up ci/cd (like Circle) to make things 10x more convenient.

Interesting to see how many websites will close due to a drop in ad revenue. A paywall won’t save your small news site.

In fact, it’s not registered as a bank. It’s registered as a financial services company: https://www.crowdfundinsider.com/2016/10/91093-brief-german-...

In addition, it’d be quite weird if a random startup can get a banking license just like this. Consider N26, the Berlin-based fintech “bank” and unicorn took years and just got theirs some months ago.

I went to a meetup once where Radoslav presented Bitbond. Referring to it as a bank is quite a stretch.

The first Maglev track for demo rides was completed 25 years ago.

Does GAAP exclude one-time-effects? I can see them selling their grounds, offices and renting it again and the like.

The currency of politicians is jobs and dismantling the inefficient bureaucracy is damn f*ing expensive.

Can imagine very well that the whole Musk cult implodes with an accounting scandal of that sort.

Market share is a really fluctuating/bad metric here, as the sample size is so small. This number is not consistent.

Getting things done: Too obvious and no groundbreaking new insight at this point in life

Zen and the art or motorcycle maintenance: That was just plain boring. I felt like falling asleep on 400 pages

If you listen to Graham&Dodd types, I can’t recall a case where they’ve been totally wrong. Btw Tesla is a public company for less than 10 years.

> It seems a sizeable chunk of most people you'll meet when you live abroad will be constitutionally unable to let go of the fact that you didn't grow up within the same national borders as each other.

So what’s the problem with that? I’m an European, currently living in Singapore. I am a foreigner (Angmoh). People know that. I know that. Cultures clash here and there but there is no problem with it.

I’m not in the finance industry, hence I’m not predicting anything. I rather read analyses some pros do.

> And personally I really want Tesla to succeed.

That, instead of a sound financial analysis, seems to be the cause of your bullish position. I hope you’re not calling what you’re doing with your money “investing”.

Do EU companies exist that do fall under this law? Can’t think of one right now.

Do you actually read the dozens of responses? Or are you just doing it to annoy people?

Exactly. When the EU falls apart, Germany will immediately invade France & Poland and nuke London.

Neither, nor. The loading bar or what that is called that appears after the text is recognized but it’s waiting for a response just never finishes. And yes, I’m online.

I use it to set the alarm, a pretty basic task. Works in 6/10 cases. This is totally unacceptable in the age of “smart”.

OK, I will start calling Italians Romans from now on.

Counteracting decades of bias and discrimination with bias and discrimination. What a great idea!

You’re aware of automatic face recognition in Berlin‘s public places, the Diesel scandal, flight passenger data agreements and so on, aren’t you?

For your data point, I can assure you that eu govs are just lagging behind, they failed to keep pace. They will get there, trust me.

> she helped resolving them in ways that undeniably benefited Germany

A lot of smart people actually deny that.

Some might argue that she indeed shaped the future of this world by accelerating the demise of Europe as a modern and heavyweight force in the world.
