Fun anecdote: I walked into a Capital One (BANK) where they have a Café, and the gimmick is that if you pay with your Capital One card, you get a reduced price. They said their payment terminals were down so they could not take credit cards

What a terrifying experience. This goes into my growing list of reasons why it pays to just take note of negative people's behavior, and quietly terminate their contract without ever discussing anything with them. Businesses learned t

Here's a more real example that is not just one "feeling". In Portland Oregon there are TONS of hundred year old houses that all look fairly similar because they were all built "cheap" back then from mail order cat

Indeed this "test" is laughable. "the drivers had time to get to know the cars and their infotainment systems" really though? Like an hour? Is it their personal car? "...By photographing the same driver in all car

Links or your argument is just noise. Here is the closest I could find to what you are talking about, explicitly saying an appeals court ruled against a nuclear operator trying to get the refund you are talking about: https://fla

I see geographical splitting being pushed in a few places, but this is a really anachronistic vision of what would really benefit consumers. Even back in the phone days, regional monopolies didn't turn out to be a net win. It just me

This is untrue. Tokyo Metro is one of the largest systems by ridership in the world, and operates at a profit. It does have sizable capital investments that take years to pay down. This also completely ignores the halo effects of these sy

Actually no, the lack of affordability is 100% due to political decisionmaking that for the past 30+ years has failed to generate enough housing to match population growth. No supply + extreme demand -> massive increase in prices.

I’m curious if you have seen more about the plans the article discusses? Talk of proper physical segregation of bike traffic using bollards sounds very nice. Copenhagen’s concrete curb separating bike lanes from car lanes is the gold standa
