In the countries that you think of as having 'strong, fair, and just judicial systems' governments typically control only the fiscal policy. Monetary policy is left to some independent entity. For countries with fixed exchange rates it is also impossible to have autonomous monetary policy without imposing restrictions on capital mobility. This also applies to blocks of countries, e.g., none of the individual governments of euro countries have control over the bloc's monetary policy.
But that was my point exactly. Sure, you can live in Sweden without even knowing how cash looks like so it is cashless in a way. But, if the cash register is not functioning then you are done* with or without cash in your pocket.
* I'd wager that if you know the prices and keep track of what you sell, you'd be fine recording the transactions after the fact.
In this code, the main problem---I think---is that there are intermediate results that are being allocated, e.g., Fk_1 * Pu * Fk_1'. I will speculate that you could improve on the baseline code by preallocating these in the same way as Pp, K, aux1, and Pu are initialized outside of the loop.
I'd say it is misleading rather than disappointing. The word is not capitalized in the Wikipedia article and titlecase is not a requirement here either.
I would say durable rather than luxurious. The breaks were, but I'd say the tires weren't. I am yet to experience something like this on my v8f. There are other advantages of larger motors, like ability to ride uphill at larger inclines. Scooters are easily overpowered there and essentially useless in more hilly places. Bottom line is, that I am yet to meet a person who tried an EUC and prefers a scooter.
Yes. The budget starts at 1000EUR vs 250EUR. The difference is much less once you realize that you probably want two (disc?) breaks, probably suspension, larger wheel size. When I was making the purchase it was basically same price at that point.
Yes. It takes a few hours to learn to ride an EUC. But I'd wager that EUCs are safer because of that. Most accidents on rental scooters happen to first-time/occasional users. The fact that you need to learn how to ride an EUC gives you an appreciation of how bad things can go if you push farther than your skill allows.
In the end, EUCs are safer (larger wheel doesn't get locked in small potholes), more comfortable even without suspension, break faster due to more powerful motor, and are more compact.
