There are government subsidies for consumers to either have a fixed price or a price cap on electricity in Norway as a political response to the increase. This would be harder to pull off if not most of the profits from export didn’t land in the public sector (either taxes or government owned energy companies).

I’m not sure about the US, but their European service is very transparent on pricing (they offer two different products between the two markets). Some edge cases are generally hard to cover though, especially for unauthenticated users browsing: young driver fees and increased insurance premiums if you’d like a lower deductible.

Disclaimer: co-founded a P2P car sharing service in Norway that was acquired by Getaround in 2019.

Norway has a fiscal deficit every year, in order to cover the deficit we're allowed to spend a couple percent of our holdings in the Oil Fund to. To my understanding, this is done by selling assets on a monthly basis in exchange for Norwegian currency by Norges Bank. [0]

One could argue that the government would not be able to offer subsidies on EVs without that option.

No, it doesn’t. We just built a merchant app for the App Store where merchants of our platform should be able to handle and process orders made on our website from customers.

Apple refused to approve the app unless we added a storefront to our app and used in-app purchases. But that’s not something we consider a core feature of the app.

They wouldn't need to pay taxes because the money to purchase the financial instrument (whether it's a stock or a cryptocurrency) should already have been taxed in the country where the buyer resides. And, at least in my country, you can't use a financial trade like that to get a tax deduction.

How would they afford to buy the cryptocurrency from the shell company in the first place?

Apple seems to be somewhat unhappy with nvidia. I think AMD might have ML stuff in their roadmap and Apple is making a bet they will make it before they fix their relationship with nvidia.

Did you have a look at https://www.windowfunctions.com ? Their exercises were a great introduction for me.

I also discovered the ability to select from multiple tables and do joins using where clauses instead, which to me is a lot more intuitive than explicit/imperative join statements. I didn’t see anything covering queries like those (maybe because there’s only one table in the dataset, idk i’m on mobile).

Do you have any plans on providing SDKs for game engines like Unity? I would love having music that change dynamically based on the pace of the game.

you can do anything in any (Turing complete) language.

Exactly. The point of the parent was what to choose between learning a new domain or a new programming language (when you already know python) and what would give most value combined. I agree that knowing python+3d will be more valueable than python+haskell.

Sure, there are now react boilerplates that do this, but there are too many out there to properly evaluate what to use. Why not just make it a part of the framework?

Isn't this what `create-react-app` is supposed to solve?
