New preprint out on a way to handle structural and practical violations of the overlap (also known as positivity) assumption in causal inference -- as long as the outcome is bounded, we derive simple partial identification bounds on the ATE. With @alecmcclean.bsky.social and @idiaz.bsky.social

When e-bike/e-scooter rentals descended upon cities, politicians argued for speed governors on safety grounds, and in a number of cases forced companies to install them. That may have been the right call! But it highlights the obvious absurdity of allowing cars in cities without them.
My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area.

(15 in Manhattan btw)
There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.

anyway calling these "war plans" when they were actually plans to blow up an apartment building full of civilians because the girlfriend of a guy we don't like lived there sounds more like "terrorism plans" or perhaps even more accurately "terrorism factory creation plans"
