Polgreen is literally saying here that the finesse would be in service of a terrible decision. Her point is that Weiss is doing something bad by spiking the story, and ALSO that she is doing it in a clumsy way. Of course the finessed version wouldn't be in the public interest!

I think what I learned from the 2024 election is that wage growth exceeding inflation is not good enough for voters. People just really, really hate prices going up, even when on average their wages are going up by more.

So I believe the bottom line is that this article is claiming that it costs 7.6c/kWh to generate all-day solar, inclusive of all operating costs and capital costs amortized over the lifetime of the facility.

I believe it includes the capital & operating costs over the lifetime of the facility, & since batteries only need to be used for ~half the day’s energy, it only adds battery cost for about half the energy. The article says that generation + storage is ~$76/MWh, again inclusive of capital costs.

Oh yeah, dependent care FSAs have totally different rules, which is very cool and fun.

It doesn't fill up slowly over time! It fills up completely on January 1.
Fun fact: you can spend all of it on Jan 1 and quit on Jan 2 and make your company cover your health care costs :)

Yeah it's not perfect but it's definitely better than nothing, they avoid the enormous confounder of highway vs city streets, and I think they really are trying to do a good apples-to-apples.

They even weight within cities to try to tease out the effects that would happen if Waymos tend to drive in more or less dangerous surface streets.

Waymo doesn't compare to just an average driver; they compare to the exact roads that they drive on in the cities where they operate. They do not weight based on vehicle model or weather conditions, but it's also the case that they currently operate in places without super severe weather.

No but if i ran a land trust I would be sorely tempted to mess with them and delay their sale offering by 4 months.

The testimony about it seems to suggest it’s all about distressed buildings but it’s not entirely clear o me that that’s true in the text.

This seems wild. Often you don’t know you want to sell 6 months in advance. And it seems like a qualified entity could put in a notice of intent to offer to every building in a neighborhood/borough/city and then use the 120 days to decide.

I’m no expert but it certainly seems like this read is correct. It’s possible that if no qualified entity submits an intent to make an offer after 60 days the owner can put it on the market but I’m genuinely not sure because it doesn’t seem to be entirely clear.

Would this statute mean that a prosecutor could in theory just file an indictment with no backing grand jury indictment at all the day before statute of limitations runs out just to get a 6 month extension?

Funny thing is that my baseline is Sunac (it’s closest to me), so CTown feels like a bargain lol.

I went to one of the small format WF in HK, and it’s sort of more than a bodega, less than a full grocery. Sunac is closest comparison in size and selection, though the small WF is much better quality and price.
