  • Being European, I had the choice to live in a city that is very friendly to bikes, pedestrians, and has very good public transit. I also deliberately chose an apartment that was so close to my university it’s trivial to go there in the morning, and I have access to a wide transit network if I need to go further.

    Honestly, if I lived somewhere car dependent, I think I would just bite the bullet and drive until I can move somewhere better. This is a pretty bad answer but I don’t know what else to say.

    I would probably try to get a cheap and reliable electric car to save as much as possible on maintenance costs.






  • According to the Financial Times, he said that creating regulatory barriers would be harmful in a context of rapid technological advancement.

    Are we on a context of rapid technological advancement ? I would say we are in a context of dire technological stagnation.

    «AI» is a mirage that is utterly failing at pretty much everything it is applied to, and in every other domain I would say tech progress is coming to a halt now that our new feudal lords have conquered so much of the market.

    This push by the EU is, apart from digital sovereignty, a very necessary push to get some innovation going again. I hope more complementary measures will follow ; we really need hardware sovereignty as well.
