New Jersey has a law like that for gas. Can only increase the price one time per day. But ut doesn’t apply to all gass stations, just ones on the highway rest areas.

You made a good point and I immediately thought that reporting a gross profit dollar amount as an example of how profit margins are not slim as simply inappropriate. And I would have responded myself if you hadn’t. There’s no single dollar figure that can inform anyone about anything useful about the profit margin of a business. A number without context is useless.
I don’t see how that thought process is exclusive to people who are or consider themselves to be smart.
They aren’t saying that this is exclusive to people who consider themselves smart. They’re saying that they’re more likely to fall for the trap by engaging with the assumption of not being susceptible to being tricked. Although I think the author does conflate smart people with people who think of themselves as smart inappropriately.
AT&T simply had the laws protect them from competition for 105 years.
Residential home construction and renovation has always been a magnet for fraud. Take at least the the same level of precaution for solar installations.
Back when Bitcoin was released, nobody was giving a thought to computer energy use.
It didn’t take long before people saw that energy was a major factor in cost of operations of the network.
It was a poor design decision
One that is fiercely defended by people who invested into the implementation. So it may not have started with it being anticipated, but not it is and people are actively choosing to perpetuate this use of energy.

I’m skeptical of the idea that student protesters typically identify the optimal solution to the problems they identify.
They may be correct in identifying and calling attention to issues, but many of the solutions I’ve seen proposed by protesters at colleges seem at best tangential to addressing the issues.
If the only goal is to reduce emissions, your concerns of the production and use of more EVs should absolutely be taken into account. However, I don’t think that should be the only concern when thinking about the ethics of the proposed policy.
If that’s all one wants to consider when evaluating the ethics of the policy in question, then it seems like the “correct” policy.
You seem to have presented a non sequitur based argument.
I wasn’t making any positive claims. I was clarifying the terms of what one might consider “working”. And how we may want to consider how we value people without regard to geopolitical boarders.
You’re defining “work” as Chinese manufactured EVs having less market share. But if that means everyone that buys pays more for an EV and fewer EVs are sold, did it result in the most benefit for American citizens? What about the rest of the world’s population, in which situation is the net benefit greater?
Nostr seems like it’s set up to allow for unmitigated abuse.
This is an excellent introduction for those that want to try it out.
The report itself is written in very approachable language and is worth reading beyond the summary. https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201719/cmselect/cmenvaud/1952/full-report.html
The researchers in the article seem to be interested in that as well. They see their research as a pilot forhow to get useful measurements in many urban centers. I hope they receive more funding.
It seems that the most significant part of this news is the enhancement in atmospheric CO2 concentration in a large urban area. Being able to measure more accurately and precisely will allow better evaluation of mitigation strategies.

FYI, I cross posted your question to three Programming.dev communities:
These are conserted efforts to reduce the presence of “undesirables”, also known as homeless or unhoused, in the areas without public bathrooms.
It’s nice to see that others get it. Unfortunately, neither of us have any immediate influence on the largest social media platforms.
