Sorry, I can't agree. "Crêpes Suzette" are delicious...

I guess it all depends how much they invest in scaling that part of the business. It's a bit of an optimization problem to figure out the "right" formula to grow the business. I can alr…

> Education is top-notch (pretty much all of our universities are top 5% worldwide) How is that top 5% computed? Do you have a source?

I own a Model S and I know that one of the painful parts of ownership is that you have to go to approved bodyshops and Tesla service centers, as well as use only Tesla original parts. That translates …

But if you are the insurance of the Tesla driver, it's the other party (through insurance or directly) that will come after your driver, not you. You will just say to your driver "per our co…

That's not a bad idea provided you have it good. The challenges in finding happiness often occur for the other subset: those who don't have it that good.

Money is no substitute for health. It will just sound like a "philosophical tidbit" until you get hit by a health issue for which you'd give everything you own to get rid of. Then you&#…

It's not that simple unfortunately. Some disabilities are "invisible" (as in "we don't know how to measure it with medical equipment"), which brings the challenges to a w…

Well doesn't that depend on what metric you use to define speed? It sounds like you are measuring latency... but if you were to measure throughput you may be getting a different answer. The 100 m…

You're leaving out other important factors: e) safety: there may be a risk to get mugged on your way to the car, but you can also get mugged on the way to the public transportation. However, once…

Probably nothing of importance.

And it seems to me the OS should ensure the pages are zero'd out rather than user space (via malloc()) doing it, because it's still a security hole to let a process read data that it's …

The HTML source does have it all in about half a page of <div>s

If you rely on http to ensure the one-and-only-one type of paradigm, I have bad news for you (because you won't be able to distinguish failure vs success case when you hit a timeout: did it not r…
