> City dwellers tend to eat a lot more unhealthy foods. They also eat a lot less vegetables, fruit and nuts than their rural country(wo)men.

Can't find it for meat in general, but it seems that rural areas eat significantly more beef than suburban or urban dwellers.

Seems like the only option in their situation (and seemingly also mine) is to file a dispute with a CC. Seems like a fairly nuclear option as I simply want this dispute over the share of the cost mediated and resolved, but I guess that's just where I'm left...

I think the thing I'm learning from AirBNB and everyone I've asked is that I should not have bothered to rekey the unit. It seems that if I just had the locksmith cut the locks and walked away with my things at that point, then I'm in the clear. The fact that I decided that I shouldn't leave the unit unsecured is what I'm being punished for seemingly...

More specifically this is probably closer to a Zipfian distribution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zipf%27s_law

If they're passively propelled, then it can just become a numbers game. Send a thousand and hope for the best maybe?

it's obvious what you're describing but just wanted to point out that aerodynamic is a poor choice of words to describe an interstellar body :)

You guys mention < 25ms as the performance hit of having you guys in front of the client's application. Is there a more concrete SLA you guys provide? Do you have a sense of what that hit might cost in page rank (there's some theories out there that time to first byte is one of the features that search engines reward)?

I agree with you that the social structures we've set up have largely forced the hands of the indigenous people who want to keep their lands in their families in perpetuity to sell. How can we actually make sure these lands stay within families forever possible though? To do something like disallowing the sale of these lands outside of their communities doesn't seem particularly ethical either. In this case, that could mean that some of the landowners who might be hard pressed for money might have a pressing need to sell, so how could we forbid that? Just like preserving our diverse cultures, I totally understand the value proposition, but how can you ethically force cultural preservation? Not a perfect analog, but I'm curious how you think a more equitable system might work here.

One thing to note is the reported mindset of the program. It doesn't really talk about their expectations around plausability of this, but rather that they seem to be targeting success through large numbers even at low probabilities. They might not care to anticipate/correct anomalous "course deviations" but rather write those off as a loss completely, hoping that just a few of many initially accelerated succeed.
