Price of Switch 2 Might Increase Soon Because of Tariffs

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-01-25 21:19:25

It's been more than a month since Switch 2 came out. As Nintendo's most expensive console, at $450, it has yet to see a price jump because of President Donald Trump's new tariffs, but that can still change. Trump first announced his plans for tariffs on April 2, the same day that the Switch 2 was revealed. The tariffs targeted two countries important to Nintendo: Japan, where the company is based, and Vietnam, where some of its products are manufactured. He did declare soon after the announceme

Conspiracy theorists unaware their beliefs are on the fringe

Overconfidence is a hallmark trait of people who believe in conspiracies, and they also significantly overestimate how much others agree with them, Cornell psychology researchers have found. The study indicates that belief in conspiracies may be less about a person’s needs and motivations and more about their failure to recognize that they might be wrong.

Exploring the Complexity of Distributed Consensus Algorithms in Blockchain

Consensus in blockchain isn’t just a technical problem—it’s an intellectual minefield. You’ve got decentralized nodes spread across the globe, each operating under different assumptions, with varying latencies, incentives, and potential motivations, and yet they’re all expected to come to the same conclusion about the state of a distributed ledger. No central authority, no fallback mechanisms, no easy resets. Just code, cryptography, and coordination dancing on the edge of chaos. It’s beautiful
