  • Idk, doing this "properly" would take an immense amount of effort and manpower. This feels more like a "let me get enough info for an educated guess" EDA process, which still seems to have taken a lot of effort and I appreciate it a lot.

  • Not weighing in on either side of the discussion, but that's a video that's almost completely unrelated to the topic above.

    It speaks to how overleveraged/poorly managed a lot of Chinese development was, leading to a borderline colapse of the construction industry, and largely leaves the subject of ghost cities unaddressed.

  • While increasing energy efficiency and available space, both of which can be used for extending EV range (by adding more batteries that deplete more slowly) - one of the biggest EV issues right now.

    Or you could just fit a mini party bus inside a hatchback, whichever you prefer.

    To your point though, one of the othe big EV issues is cost (both purchase and maintenance) - even if a large chunk of it is artificial. Wonder what the price tag and lifespan on these things will be.

  • Didn't know they were so generous with the terms. But I meant the fees they charge merchants. At least that's how the business usually works if I'm not mistaken. Biggest cut of the merchant fee goes to the issuer bank, a smidge to the payment network, and a smalish portion to the merchant bank. Apple usually takes a portion of the issuer bank's cut (in this case GS)

  • That could be true, I don't know honestly.

    But then it's an issue of bad fee structures, or rather overestimating defaulter numbers. It's not like the amount of money you make from fees reduces as your interest earnings go up, so - if this is indeed the cause - the only thing I can conclude is that to meet their total projected earnings they assumed people would default en masse. Bad long term business and slim margins if you ask me.

    At the same time I have a hard time not drawing a parallel between this and GS Marcus. Apple had nothing to do with the latter and both went under (effectively), with both being forays into regular consumer services for GS.

    Then again I'm just an armchair general. What do I know.

  • I've only really spent 2 minutes looking at the man's wikipedia page to check for any obvious clues but I couldn't find any.

    Sauce for him being a fascist please? Because that's a pretty heavy accusation to throw at someone, living or dead.

  • Truth be told, once I made myself live without extensions for a week, I realized I never needed them in the first place. Gnome has a way of making you discover a slightly different way of doing the same thing that in hindsight just works better with the overall system than an extension would.

    But to each their own...
