I was curious about this as well but can't find any concrete sources.

A blog [1] says the argument goes something like this: “The first $100,000 is a b*tch, but you gotta do it [...] I don’t care what you have to do—if it means walking everywhere and not eating anything that wasn’t purchased with a coupon, find a way to get your hands on $100,000. After that, you can ease off the gas a little bit.”

The upside and downside of hybrid cars boils down to the same thing: Having two energy systems on-board. While often great, it also makes the whole system quite a bit more complex.

You need a gas tank and a battery, electric motors and internal combustion engines, and so on. I don't know how hybrid cars compare in terms of purchase price and maintenance costs, but on paper they are a much more complicated system.

"... we don't even know how to measure all of its properties at the same time ..."

I assume you're referring to Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle [1]. If you are, then this shows a fundamental misunderstanding of it. The uncertainty principle describes a fundamental property of quantum systems. It has nothing to do with our measurement technology.

Because then the order of cities would change for every plot making comparison of two cities a pain.

I appreciate the insight. Regarding offline payments: Isn't the physical Krona exactly just that? Why is a new solution for this required?

I couldn't help but chuckle at the two typos (Freudian slips?) of Riksbank: "The Riskbank" and "The Rikabank" (bank of the rich).
