Why do you describe these people as if being rural is something inherent about them rather than just where they happen to be living? People move. People have been moving to cities worldwide in the largest numbers ever seen in history becaus

Does anyone know of an equivalent solution for R/ggplot? I feel sad labelling my plots with R's fonts and equation formatting, but haven't found an alternative.

Maybe, but I worry that we are now exposed to more memes than lived experiences, so their power to overcome reality is increased. People have extremely strong opinions about things they have no first hand exposure to. I worry that the incre

I mostly buy this and see the problem. I wonder though if the "marketplace of ideas" will become a naive notion. If the memetic success of an idea becomes totally uncoupled from its truth or virtue, then evolution will not select

Unsurprisingly, I care more about my own friends and family than a situation I understand little about. On a global scale, everything is trivial. I'm not going to stop trying to improve the circumstances immediately around me because t

At Google at least nearly the entire company held a protest against it. I assume at other companies people feel similarly about their co-workers, and want to protect them.

WTF are you talking about? People with valid visas could have entered immediately before this. Now they are banned! People coming back from vacations were being deported before the courts intervened.

The people he's targeting now are Americans, which for better or worse people are much less willing to tolerate. Green card and visa holders are Americans.

That inflection point happens after you have a _lot_ of cars on the road, much more any new entrant will commit. It's equivalent to saying the power company gets diminishing returns from additional supply after they've built enoug

It's a business with natural network effects. The service that has the most cars on the road has the most liquidity to clear the market, and will have the shortest wait times. People pay for rides in both time and money, and you can be
