We metabolise about 3kWh of energy per day by breathing, which is equivalent to about 90ml of diesel. All the machinery, heating and so on that we use consumes a lot more energy than that.

Things you haven't even thought of, but the start-up in question has.

German banks want financial services to be a larger part of their economy. They already ask why the main interbank clearing house for Euro transactions is in London, when the UK isn't in the Eurozone. They will now ask even more why it is in a country that isn't even part of the EU.

Competition as in if I don't like the mobile internet service in England, I can go across the Channel to France and use theirs?

Last time there was a survey on it, about 52% of Catholics would have voted against a United Ireland. 6% of Protestants would have voted in favour of it.

OK, John Lewis was 28 when he opened his first shop.

No it won't. These 22 year old entrepreneurs are the future big employers in the country. Pretty much every big business started out that way.

That has happened because the situation in Northern Ireland has changed. One of the main reasons why they wanted Northern Ireland to become part of Ireland is because of the benefits than free trade and an open border with the South would bring. Being fellow members of the EU meant that they could have those benefits while still being part of the UK. After the border was opened, unemployment in Newry, a city close to the border, fell from 30% to 6%, thanks mainly to people from the South visiting the city to go shopping, and businesses being able to export their goods much more easily to the South.

And the Democratic Unionist Party in Northern Ireland has vetoed equal marriage rights in Northern Ireland on three separate occasions now. The other big party in Northern Ireland, Sinn Féin, is known as a "republican" party, but to compare with US politics, it is more helpful to swap the labels round.

That seems to work fine in London. Taxis can use the bus lanes, minicabs, including Über can't. You can pay more for a taxi and get there quicker.

Don't you have a 911 ambulance service for that sort of thing? Then you get a medically trained person to monitor you while you go to the hospital, or they might even be able to treat you on the spot.

What you are describing is Blablacar, which is very popular in Europe, and is legal. Unlike Über, it is an actual ride-sharing service. If you are a driver, you log in, put details of your journey, and if other people want to go the same way, they can join you and pay a proportion of the petrol money.

1/10000 of people who searched for those symptoms didn't have pancreatic cancer. Around 90% of people who did have pancreatic cancer didn't search for those symptoms.

But if very few people get pancreatic cancer, then with a false positive rate of that magnitude, it could still be that the majority of detections are false positives.
