Most of those gain are tech because of the bubble.

The rest of the economy is being asphyxiated due to lack of investment, and wouldn't be so anemic without the AI bubble.

And it is being compared to a Tesla, that wildly considered fascist-adjacent nowadays.

A lot less likely to get keyed with an electric 2CV.

That list is ranked by sale volume / valuation.

There are plenty of franchises with more than the 2225 of panera bread in the rest of the list (including elements 21 to 27 of said list).

Declared or actual?

There is a huge difference in most countries.

Sweden may well be one of the few countries where being raped isn't shameful/your fault for dressing too lightly/punishable by death.

Given that travel hadn't recovered from covid in 2022, that 45k to 55k increase mean even less.

Has the % of people searched actually decreased?

I don't trust the current U.S. gov (or any U.S. gov, really), but the figure isn't actually increasing in a significant way. The US. remain as unwelcoming to visitors as they have been since 2001. Nothing to see in this report.

I would argue that sled dog racing at least is heavily impacted by the participant weight, but fair enough.

That doesn't look good, and that's before you filter by proximity to a large river (that doesn't run dry in summer).

I would say near Pisa, on the Arno River.

I'm a bit curious about the rationale behind splitting the category by gender for rubik's cube. Is there a difference in dexterity to justify it?

Sound about as useful as splitting rubik's cube champion by weight class.

Video looks impressive, though the resources poured into that training seems excessive to me. Maybe I'm too poor and don't understand how rich people raise their kids?

That is only true if you only look at the market value of an asset.

One is a tool, the other is a speculative financial asset.

The point of exploiting ressources in space is not to bring them back to earth (to the ground, specifically), but to use them in space.

The ability to manufacture in space, when the price to orbit is about 3000 $/kg can be very lucrative.

Just refuelling in orbit for long-range missions, with the fuel coming from the moon (aluminium-oxygen for exemple) would be a game-changer, and the ressources to make it happen are not that out of reach.

Starship hasn't even reached orbit, why are you putting it on a list as a viable solution for a mars mission?

Because he can't string together a coherent sentence?

I try not to take anything Trump say too seriously, but we have to remember that the USians chose him... twice.

Iceland said no because they are afraid of overfishing in their water.

It isn't an unreasonable fear, especially given their dependance on that food source. Their "No" was perfectly reasonnable from what I can see.

Britain's "Leave" campain was drowning in lies, exageration, and british-empire nostalgia.

Those two situations are very different.

You seems to be arguing that a U.S. style single-market would be an improvement.

But for whom, people or companies?
