Electricity prices in France are high because of how prices are set in the European union: it's set to the price of the most expensive source, so even if nuclear itself is cheap it's sold for more.

When it's technically feasible, absolutely... The problem is that we are very far from and yet we have non-working "robots" driving cars in the street. Or are they giant RC cars with a remote driver?

The best thing to do now is deals between UK and EU, like Norway and Switzerland. Probably starting with rejoining the single market which is the only thing UK wanted from Europe in the first place.

UK being part of EU was a mistake from the beginning. They never really wanted to be part of the union and spent 40 years pulling back, getting exceptions (Schengen, Euro...) and "special treatments" to pay less.

There was sad a time in the 2000's when the PDAs died out in favor of the smartphones but those were not quite good enough yet...

What's the point of the bayonet style spool holder, since there is only one type of spool holder? Are you going to publish files for other shapes of spool holders?

They are, but it's too bad they're explaining everything by showing again earlier scenes with the hints.
That's the kind of thing you should feel good about noticing, even if it's on a second watch, not things to spoon feed you during the entire movie.

Piketty proposed to replace inheritance by a "universal inheritance": all your money is taken at your death but everyone gets 120k at age 25. It fixes not only wealth concentration but the fact that people get inheritance late in their life when they no longer need it.

I don't think directors use it because they think they will exist in the future, but because it's convenient for them. Transparent UI let you see the actor's face, and those UI look futuristic because we don't have them.

The lack of universal healthcare is only half of the problem in US, the stupidly high medical costs before insurance is the other half.

In Norway EV have been the default car for some time now, and a few years ago the EV offering was limited and Tesla was the best.
In the meantime, European and Chinese makers have caught up while Tesla is still sitting on their old models. (Putting aside their ugly to truck...)
