If we look at international gas prices, we would probably be talking $6-12 per gallon without subsidies and the “bargaining power” of the US military, probably on the lower end of that scale. Sorry I didn’t cite a paper or a better number, but also, you can always try Googling it yourself...

It’s hard to say, right? Flatly prohibiting CFC’s and leaded paint and gasoline was probably effective, but prohibiting marijuana and alcohol were obvious disasters, while taxing tobacco has been remarkably effective on a national scale, alcohol taxes obviously don’t keep people from using, and it’s hard to say what…

Sure, but the order of operations is important. Oil, gas, and farm (fertilizer) subsidies have to go first, then we have... 30 years of letting other industry catch up on that long standing industrial socialism where we either need a carbon tax to even things out faster or we need to leave the other subsidies in place…

Something something incident with molasses...

You can only do this on one device, but you can have that device instructed to “broadcast” if you want every device in the house to say “time for bed” or some such thing. Only problem is that you have to make sure the device you set it up on is plugged in.

The initial broadcast does have to go to every speaker, but if you say "okay Google, reply..." after a broadcast it should only play on the speaker that sent the broadcast. But yes, I wish I could say "broadcast to..."

You can also set up an action to trigger at a certain time. I have mine set up to give wake up instructions and then play music in one kid’s room. You can only do this on one device, but you can have that device instructed to “broadcast” if you want every device in the house to say “time for bed” or some such thing.…

I would be happy if they could just get the experience right between Assistant on my phone and my Home devices.

Yeah, Google won’t play over your PC in a group either. You can, however, set individual Home devices to play music to a Bluetooth speaker by default, so if your system has a Bluetooth receiver, or you want to get a Bluetooth adapter, you can still use your nice system. Alternatively you can set your Home speakers to…

Hahahaha. No, EV’s are perfectly viable second cars for solidly middle class folk. I will admit that “affordable” EV’s mostly don’t yet have single car range, but there’s NO reason you can’t drive a five year old i3, Bolt, or LEAF to your job downtown, the grocery store, school, or anywhere in the next few cities…

Nationalism and kleptocrats are a good bet, but I don't see Trump inspiring too many young people to go to war for him. So... probably not? 

Known poisoner becoming an autocrat? That's *cough* Putin *cough* some assumptions on the table.

Oh goodness. I need to read The Dark Is Rising to my 7 year old. Those books were fun.

While I don’t think every detail of The Hunger Games holds together, I think a lot of what you say “should be happening” is actually happening. Hunting isn’t allowed, it’s practiced outside the law. Even leaving the city isn’t allowed. There isn’t even real medicine in the districts. Things are not so far from…

Yup. Just leave and get another...

I haven't seen a Gmail ad for a while and I don't adblock. I also haven't seen this sidebar either and I regularly look up businesses (for the address). 

They are already in the (self driving) car game too. 

With all that Iinnovation, I am so excited for them to finally lead the charge into ar/VR! /sarcasm

And the original point is that, if Apple just used USB-C, it wouldn't have to include funny little things like Thunderbolt to lightning connectors. 

The solution is actually this:
