Funny to see that France is only 134th while French refer to their country as "The Exagon" (metropolitan France) - 3 ground borders and 3 sea borders. The expression was coined in …

It is weird to see Techcrunch faking the Wall Street Journal or Bloomberg with GAAP, "Street" and earnings per share expressions. Really not what I expect from TC... I can't help b…

Fascinating study. It really triggers questions around how animals' memory work - short term vs long-term, trauma vs joy, etc. I have a 2-year French shepherd (Beauceron) who, whil…

"The middle class has no savings" => France saving ratio is 15% vs 5% in the US, so that's definitely not the point.

Indeed Israel does it, but only for Arabic or Muslim tourists that present certain characteristics - political engagement for instance. So it does exist but it's really not mainstr…

It's not as simple as that: they would still need to make the case but you lying at the border just gives US authorities bigger evidence. Couple of years ago a French tourist answe…

Completely agree. When I was working for a French bank, I saw how the US treats money laundering and it's an absolute nightmare. Let's take the example of a transaction that is pro…

I recently read that Slack has combined salting and hashing with 2FA after their data breach in March 2015. But if I remember well, whenever you want to connect, you can get a "mag…

40% is a valid EBITDA margin for telcos. Twilio is indeed slightly negative in terms of adjusted EBITDA (around -5%) but market cap of tech companies is usually rather based on NTM…
