<p>> The four day work week is a prisoner's dilemma. If everyone did it, then we'd all get a payoff, but if someone defects to a longer work week they tend to get ahead at work.<p>If that is the case, then the same would apply to those who work overtime and on weekends.</p>

<p>> if you want to work hard and actually capture the upside of what you build, it's still the only game in town<p>I think that this is only true to some extent. There are many successful engineers and scientists who work in Europe that earn good money and live well. Especially if you're a researcher, Horizon grants provide really good opportunities to collaborate with people from different countries</p>

<p>In some countries the speed limit can change without a explicit sign (speed limits cancelling out at intersections / changes in pavement, etc.). In my experience, in multiple instances the systems offered a speed limit that is higher than the actual one, which can be dangerous if you're just blindly trusting the clanker</p>

If you would approach a random person on the street and try to pitch them this idea of bringing back swappable batteries, I think that most people would like the idea.

<p>> As opposed to what, our ancient hunter gatherer lifestyle?<p>I guess the point is that lots of people before didn't need gyms for staying fit. Gyms in certain countries used to be viewed as a place where athletes go to train, and in many places people still view gyms as that<p>I don't have the numbers to back this up, but in places where you don't need a car to get around, like Amsterdam, lots of people stay fit by just driving their bicycle to work, school and so on</p>
