I think it was mostly a bubble and it finally has popped. The big social networks were funded blindly because they were growing on the market. But of course it wouldn't be eternal
Interesting point of view. It shows how difficult it is to turn the industry and how "green techs" are indeed far from green. Fortunately some solutions like the recycling of phosphate in sewage just make sense in themselves in a global change of paradox. As we just can't have a sustainable agriculture if we're throwing the phosphates away without inserting it back at the start of the cycle.
Because French cities are now planned to forbid cars inside the center. A lot of cities like Paris or Lyon have already planned dates for it to happen. Plus, old city centers tend to not have any garage and the few parking places are very expensive. Bicycle lanes tend to replace car lanes and circulating in car is nightmarish on design.
For example, in my city, lots of 2-way streets are replaced by 1-way with bicycle lane. As there is more 1-ways, you sometimes have to drive in circles to get somewhere. On the weekends, parts of the city that are normally drivable are closed to cars. There is a highway entrance near my workplace. Some months ago, there was a stoplight on pedestrian demand, now it is mandatory even though there are close to no pedestrian there. The cars have now to wait 2 minutes more to get on the highway. I can't think of more for now but there are surely other examples.
(In my opinion)
Some hacker provides a paid service in which you have either hacked spotify accounts or well generated fakes that can run streams on fake artists accounts.
Some random mafia pays these hackers to maintain their bots and to launder their money.
You can even pay the hackers with the finally laundered money.
Now the hacker has to launder the money somehow. Fine, it's much less money, but still it doesn't feel like laundering rather than just straight up scamming.
I don't think Bitcoin is a global solution for hyperinflation. It just makes it worse. If the value of your money doesn't fluctuate with your, net exports, you'd better have a very cheap industrial apparel.
Yes. But I imagine that if someone comes up with a branded final product and works with the manufactuer to have maybe smaller screen sizes and bigger batchs, it would be able to reach a reasonable price
It is kind of biased if you take global raw data as the US and China have a bigger share of global internet users. Baidu is 6th but I doubt that it is highly frequented by American or Europeans. However, the problem shows when you search by country. Top visited sites in Europe are still American.
