I've never met anyone in actual real life who appeared to give a shit about the existence of comic sans.
On the internet, though, apparently the world is united in hatred of it. I've always found this disconnect oddly distressing, it's as if people on the internet aren't real.

The jumping looks like an expensive trick to get right.
..In terms of money, time, and human life.
Seems silly because we already have horses. The video suggests the purpose of these robot horses is purely recreational. Seems like a massive waste of resources when there's an ecosystem to save, diseases to cure and a solar system to explore.

I’ve little love for horse riding.
But horses at least can recharge themselves wherever there’s grass. As for the rest, Kawasaki is big enough to do more than one thing, and it’s not like a concept video takes much in the way of resources.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the project is more about designing systems that will end up in other things. Perhaps in their military division. After all, BigDog started as a pack animal for soldiers in uneven terrain, and the idea of mechanised cavalry appeals to my sense of whimsy.

It's basically a game of economic Chicken.
The tariffs aren't intended to be in place long (or even medium) term. The problem is that Trump is hedging his bets on China swerving out of the way first.

I bought a few grands' worth of Amazon and Google shares just before the announcement.

Well, to play Devil's Advocate a little:
The previous US trade deals arguably weren't really favourable to the US (depending on who you ask). Their average external tariff worked out at something like 3.5% whilst some of their export partners were imposing 4-5 times that rate on their imports of North-American goods.
America's over reliance on imports has also been partially responsible for the substantial drop off in US domestic manufacturing which is sitting about 40% lower than it was at the beginning of the '80s.
I suspect that Trump genuinely believes that significantly increasing the cost of goods coming into America will force more companies to set up shop domestically and bolster production/employment rates in the USA. It won't. But he thinks it will.
I don't think for a second this is his brainchild, though. I'm fully convinced that this whole thing is a distraction/diversion for something far more sinister. Trump clearly isn't the brightest, and somebody whispering in his ear that these new tariffs will cement him in history as America's greatest economic hero is all he needs to hear to start throwing numbers around, confident that he's holding all the cards.
The firing of Timothy Haugh has all been swept under the rug by the last few days' economic hysteria and deserves far more scrutiny than the short-term disruption caused by completely unsustainable import taxes.
