Schools have economies of scale for making food, parents don't, and once we've agreed that's a more efficient way to deliver food, it's best to do it without a bunch of paperwork

So far we've only been doing accidental geoengineering: "Carbon emissions are, in essence, a form of inadvertent geoengineering. Solar radiation engineering, by comparison, seems far less perilous. Moreover, we are already doing solar radiation engineering just in reverse: International regulations which required shippers to reduce the sulphur content of marine fuels have likely increased global warming."

• Interesting thread about the last time that Musk pursued trying to name a company X. TL;DR: it was Paypal, he was CEO, and the move was so stupid that the board of directors removed him.
• Russia is passing a law allowing individual regions to raise their own armies. Seems bad!
