I think google search results are pretty bad these days. A lot of times the top results are pages that are ad-ridden and don’t contain the actual info I was looking for.
Granted, my metric of “good” is an unquantified and very subjective but to me both Bing and DuckDuckGo outperform google search.
This law is intended to make large amounts of cash less useful without killing the utility of smaller amounts. If large amounts of cash become less useful that makes money laundering a lot harder.
A black market for cash already exists. The people who buy it are called money launderers.
If you want the convenience of a government backed currency you’ll need to do so digitally which makes fraud investigation a lot easier. Don’t like it? Bad luck. This is where every fair economy is heading.
> Uber and airbnb created value using technology by solving many pain points of consumers.
I don’t think this is as the USP airbnb was going for.
Companies like Booking.com, trifago.com and Hotel.com existed prior to airbnb and had a pretty decent “human-less” UX.
I thought the usp of airbnb was that everyone with a place could rent it out on that platform. That should increase the supply. It worked pretty well for a while and still does so to a certain extend. Regulations make its service useless in some countries though.
I’m not sure what Uber did to improve the market but they’ve always been dearer than taxies where I’m from. I don’t mind giving a taxi central a call either…
It should be easy to distribute RHEL back to ACME Linux via a detour right? I mean another company could distribute it to to ACME and and hide that with limited repercussions.
I guess that Legally this would have to be revealed once ACME gets sued. That sounds like an endless game of whack-a-mole to me though.
Most Taxi companies I’ve dealt with quote if ask them. Generally you get a few bucks off if you do so at least a day in advance.
I’d rather give a call than install an app anyways.
My experience taught me that taxis are usually around the same price as Ubers in densely populated areas and wildly more expensive outside of those.
I’m not very experienced as an Uber user though since I generally prefer public transport.
> There are even people advocating to take the farms from them.
That’s the only option left on the table if they won’t shrink the livestock and diversify as farmers.
Let’s be real: it’s not like this legislation came out of the blue. Nitrogen deposition as a problem is something the sector has known about for a while. Instead of diversifying away from nitrogen emission these companies chose to double down on nitrogen washing technology.
Turns out that technology doesn’t work.
Intensive livestock in the way it’s happening now doesn’t have a future in the Netherlands. I’d like to go even further and say that it makes a poor investment anywhere in the world.
Farmers are entrepreneurs. Being an entrepreneur means managing risks and they did that pretty poorly as a sector.
A lot of farmers invited the risk and harvested its profits.
Had they diversified they would have been in much better shape.
