News consumption impacts political decision making, like who I want to support or oppose in local, state, and national elections. That seems a pretty high impact decision we want all the members of our society to be making on a regular basi

My immediate thought was college kids on campus. It’s basically your apartment building example (esp. something like the STEM dorms) When this stuff breaks in the hours leading up to a homework assignment being due, it’s going to discourage

There are bunch of tabletop wargames, but Warhammer has the network effect going for it. If you want to go the local hobby store and play a game, most other people are playing Warhammer, that’s what you play too. You might prefer Bolt Actio

How are the SIPC premiums being paid? Let’s say I invest $250k with you. From my research it appears the SIPC premiums on that amount would be more than $12/year. How does that work?

Based on my reading of the article, this change would not start showing you Elon’s tweets if you have him blocked. What it would do is allow Elon’s feed to show everyone, and not have holes in it from people who have blocked him.
