Well my anecdotal experience is that my kids saw videos on YouTube about other kids playing it and then they wanted to play it. I have no desire to play any of the games the popular games seem centered around nearly impossible “parkour” maps. But they love it and switch between it and Minecraft. I wonder how much of their playing base is just young kids.

We don't all have to agree on everything all the time. You strive in a direction by moving in that direction, there is no end point, no destination, no way to "complete" the process.

I'm in Canada and my plan is 20Mbps down/1Mbps up for $193/month but with TV, no cap since I am grandfathered in. Then I see my ISP has 100Mbps (up is ?) for $85 and a cap of 1TB. I guess I should look at my ISP website more often.

FedACH, or "direct deposit", costs pennies wholesale [0]. The value proposition of Venmo/Zelle is not just that they're instant, but that the fees are not insane. Compare that to retail banks which charge upwards of $35 for a "next-day ACH".

The Fed should impose fee caps to encourage adoption.

I agree with you, but there are lies happening on both sides. And then there are people calling out the lies. At the end you can do nothing but doubt all that you hear.

Take for example the ipcc report that just came out. It is a resounding idea of a bunch of anti meat vegans trying to use climate change alarms to persuade the world into their world view.

It is manipulation at its best. And now I don't care about the the whole climate change drama. It sucks. They are trying to control me.

> It requires people who are able to fully parse the implications of what they are hearing

Where you plan to get such people from? I'm pretty sure nobody is able to "fully parse" implications of anything, for detailed enough definition of "fully", because nobody knows everything now or in the future, and without this it's impossible to "fully" understand implications of anything. Most benign speech could, in certain circumstances, cause huge effects. You can tell an aspiring artist and a war veteran his paintings are mediocre, and he decides to go into politics instead and you've got next Adolf Hitler (yes, I know that's not what actually happened, it's just a theoretical example). Nobody can "fully" know anything.

> to actively push back against ideals which are universally understood to be reprehensible.

You must be under impression there are a lot of things that are universally understood to be something. What if I told you there aren't and people actually can disagree on pretty much anything?

> The concept of freedom of speech falls apart if universally reprehensible speech is allowed to be publicaly espoused without being firmly challenged.

No it does not. Somebody speaking something that you don't like does not mean freedom of speech failed, because preserving your personal tranquility and serving your personal preferences has never been a purpose of the freedom of speech. And there's no "universally" reprehensible speech - somebody would always find this speech not reprehensible. The only way you can have a workable definition is by massaging "universally" by excluding more and more people from consideration because their opinion is obviously stupid and doesn't matter - until you find yourself in a bubble that agrees with your opinions and define that as "universal".
I'm willing to bet there are more than 1000 configurations, and sampling a mere 0.00001% of the population isn't going to get you much. In other words, that's sampling 1 out of every 7.3 million people. An utterly useless exercise.

My strategy has been to completely ignore emails from Amazon recruiters, under the assumption that getting a reply from an email address will immediately prompt the recruiter to check a box in their internal tool indicating "You can actually reach them here!"

It's the same strategy with spammers. Clicking "Unsubscribe" often just serves to confirm that there's a real human being reading stuff sent to that address.

It sounds like you're proposing something akin to cultural relativism. The foundations of American democracy are definitively not in cultural relativism, but in cultural absolutism:

"All mean are created equal, etc etc".

Now, we've often failed to live up to those words in the past, but it's an (ideally) constantly-improving process. Regardless, it's much, much more desirable than some anarchical cultural relativism where everyone does what they damn well please.
Well, a lot of America is white and middle class. The push to move to suburbs was fueled by the white middle class, who fled the cities during and after desegregation, and was termed the White Flight.

There's a very real displacement problem that's linked to the urban population growth that you seem skeptical of; marginalized communities are being priced out of their long-time homes, being pushed out of urban centers and into suburbs and exurbs.

Anyway, census data shows strong growth of urban areas, and tepid growth of rural areas, which are a shrinking fraction of the US population.

Some cities have seen astonishing growth:

> Among urbanized areas with populations of 1 million or more, the Charlotte, N.C.-S.C., area grew at the fastest rate, increasing by 64.6 percent, followed by the Austin, Texas, area, at 51.1 percent, and Las Vegas-Henderson, Nev., at 43.5 percent.

> should tolerate everything except intolerance

By which definition the first person crying "intolerance!" wins - now they can be intolerant for free, because they are just intolerating intolerance, but their opponents can't be. I don't think such model can be defined as "drawing a fine line" - more like providing a rich field for rhetorical abuse, as long as you can excuse your own intolerance by casting whoever you target as "intolerant" you yourself get a free pass for anything. Very convenient, of course, but to me it looks like a cheap trick.
Many Gen IV nuclear designs can use the 10K year waste fuel and turn it into 300 year waste. If you believe climate change is killing us, this is the answer. If you don't believe that but believe clean, free electricity in abundance is best for a developing world, then this is also the answer.
This could have been very ugly:

the 10-kg drone suffered an uncontrolled crash “in a wooded area of Zurich’s university quarter only 50 yards away from a group of playing kindergarten children.”

One of the things that few people are aware about is quadrotor MTBF is very low relative to other common vehicles. For many drones, the expectation for failure dramatically increases just after 100-200 hours of operation[1]. Figuring out points of failures, building systematic fault trees and increasing MTBF by order of magnitude or two would be big part of the drone delivery projects.

I think the reverse question is probably more appropriate. That derivative civilizations from the mediterranean maritime trading cultures have a higher geography driven disposition to sanctifying contractual agreements since that's how they subsisted life.

Should women be allowed to work? What if they're married and working in close contact with single men? What if they're pregnant?

Problem with those editorial is that they are made by non-experts. Maybe if they had spend some time with OT or other liquid handling device they know what the deal is, and how wide the rift between reality and wishful thinking is.
Seems strange that Swiss Post would be the first to test out these drones, given the extremely high standard of quality that the Swiss demand. The reality is that any new technology, especially hardware, will need time to mature and work out the bugs. One crash out of 3000 isn't that bad: reality has a lot of edge cases to test for.

Thanks for the link! It looks like initially the price spikes by pretty much the tariff rate, and then over the following months returns back in line with the long term trend line.

This makes sense because we also see a significant reduction in import volume from of the goods being taxed, so it implies producers are finding alternate suppliers to avoid the China-specific tariffs at close to the China-supplier price.

Puff piece, no data, pure author opinions. If you like word salads then here is a good example.

Facts: the global temperatures average is still 2 degrees cooler than the 14th centuries. We are coming out of an ice age. Sure our pollution doesn’t help. I would like to point out, a single volcanic eruption produces more greenhouse gasses than humanity produces in a year. There are multiple massive eruptions every year in the ring of fire.

What does this mean?????

Plant a tree, several if you can. Will it do anything to solve global warming???? No but you’ll feel better.

Climate change is natural. Fertile areas become deserts, deserts become fertile. Ice melts, more green plants grow eventually sucking up the excess gasses. Eventually it becomes colder again.

It’s happened before us, it will happen after us.

Arguments like this ignore the billions of dollars that maintain and create highways, roads, parking lots that the government already invests in. The blindspot regarding this "freedom" which apparently to some people exists magically is astounding.

The government created the current layout of cities by building highways and making laws and regulations that birthed the city structure we have today. It did not develop organically.

Class isn't purely economic. It is the perception of 'inner city elites' being out of touch with the rest of the country.

In the recent Australian election, the (losing) Labour Party had a policy to target 50% of vehicles being electric by 2030.

The Liberal party jumped on this and ran a scare campaign that Labour was trying to take away the vehicles that Australians love for work and recreation, utes and 4WD/SUVs. It worked, not because any inherent inferiority of electric vehicles but, because people don't want to be told what is best for them by people that don't understand their needs.

The bunk bit is micronutrient deficiency is only amongst the real poor, less than $2 per day.

Not the rich (US/Europe) or middle class or US/European poor.

And it's happening TODAY, they way forward to the problem, which ALREADY exists is to fix it by getting a variety of foods to the real poor.

Rice alone is always not enough, this is a today issue.

A - Stop pushing today's issues until 2050 to push CO2 agendas.

B - The real poor need cheap energy today, they die without it. It's not just a discussion point by the ultra rich on a Bulletin Board.

C - Other plants with the required micronutrients will become cheaper/increased yields with the increased CO2. So stop making up possible issues when it's a today issues.

Correct, though the exercise may not be statistical.

If you're looking at a system in which elements require some amount of mutual interaction on some regular basis, this sets your maximum grouping size. To scale up you need clusters of groups (or, sufficiently large, supergroups, etc.) to be able to function. This acts similarly to Amdahl's law.

Or, if you are dealing with a system of some size and want it to spontaneously decompose to smaller units, change its ability (or requirements for) 1:1 exchange. Mass media accomplished this in reverse, enabling mass-scale coordination and culture.

> My point was that 20 years ago, there are a hell of a lot of people that would have made that argument.

I understand that's your point. And policy reflected that majority opinion back then. But, it was wrong, and we fixed it. That's fine. That's how things should work.

> Your proposed policy - which as far as I can tell simplifies to "ban advocating for things that a supermajority of the population finds distasteful"

I'm making no policy proposals. I'm saying society is justified in making moral decisions via policy, and in many cases is ethically obligated to do so.

I'm saying that a blanket position of moral agnosticism by government (which is, as far as I can tell, what you're suggesting) is naïve in the best case, and actually actively unethical in the worst case, when that position prevents a society from protecting itself from disease.

We still have courts even though there is the possibility of convicting the innocent, a society without a justice system is unworkable. In the same way, we still have the right and responsibility to make policy on moral and ethical grounds even though we might choose incorrectly, a society without that ability is unworkable.
