To paraphrase Jonah Goldberg, after this election my therapist will ask, "Please show me on this doll where the 2016 election touched you inappropriately."
DeBeer's behavior parallels other established interests we have read about recently such as taxi "cartels" trying to suppress upstarts Uber & Lyft, or hotel "cartels" trying to suppress VRBO & Airbnb. Jump ahead 50 years. I would wager that taxis, hotels, and natural diamonds will have lost their stranglehold to the likes of Uber, Airbnb, and synthetic diamonds. Adapt or die.
Inform is a great tool for creating interactive fiction. Since it requires logic, branching, etc. I always thought it'd work well as an introduction to some of the thinking that is required in the design of programs.

This little nugget is buried deep down in the article:
The study cautions that for EV ownership to rise to high levels, the needs of drivers have to be met on all days. For days on which energy consumption is higher, such as for vacations, or days when an intensive need for heating or cooling would sharply curb the EV's distance range, driving needs could be met by using a different car (in a two-car home), or by renting, or using a car-sharing service.
So the expectation is that the average person who leaves the city limits now and again has access to a second car with a gasoline engine.
I have yet to see a movie where I thought the 3D enhancements made the movie superior over a conventional screen. Regarding Nintendo's 3DS, I noticed that my daughters disable the 3D feature because they find it distracting. Is anyone pining for a movie to come out in 3D?
I had a professor who posited that we were all part of a Matrix-style simulation. How could we possibly know? My response, "Commit suicide." If it's a simulation, you'll come out of it. Mr. Musk, prove me wrong. What are the odds that I'm wrong? A billion-to-one?
Reading about climate change in the popular press gives the impression that the vast majority of climate change research over the last 5 hears has found that our situation is more dire than that indicated in prior publications. Is that actually the case, or is the popular press cherry-picking the headline-grabbing studies. It would make an interesting survey to identify a baseline of expected climate change in research preceding 2011, and compare that to the expected climate change in research that is fewer than five years old. If a significant majority of recent publications predict a climate in greater distress than previously thought, that would affirm suspicions that the research is tainted. Likewise, if recent publications were well-distributed both above and below prior-2011 predictions, that would lend credence to the assertion that the climate change research is valid.
The government should group these parents into cohorts and hold the science classes at camps. Reeducation camps. These parents need to be reeducated to conform to the will of the state. What harm is there in this?
I understand logically how the thought of killing another living thing and eating it can be stomach turning. I am surprised at my own reaction--that eating artificially-grown flesh is creepy to me. OTOH, using real meat to make busts does creep me out whereas I would have no problem with artificial meat sculptures.
There was a very interesting bit of sleuthing done to track down biases in the popularity of certain dates in scanned books. like the prevalence of Sept 11 *before* 2001.
I've been part of the "couch contingent" of the marathon for a couple of years now. A lot of people don't know this but I've played in the Super Bowl several times as well. And I don't mean just watching it on the television. I am in my living room playing right along with the other players. It really is a team effort.

I would strongly recommend this documentary. Absolutely compelling.
