Rooftop solar has come out of nowhere and is now 20% of Puerto Rico's energy generation mix -- more than natural gas.

I didn’t make this, but it’s pretty spot on

And, more generally, we applied consistent terminology: * Reproducibility = same data, same analysis * Robustness = same data, different analyses * Replicability = same question, different data These are examples of repeatability, and are components of the broader concept of credibility.

folks they’re calling it a suicidal mix of isolationism and interventionalism the likes of which the world has never seen

Iran gov knows this would simply be another future conflict.

Retired US Army Brigadier General Steve Anderson to MS NOW: “The president and his advisers are in the midst of the greatest geopolitical disaster in the history of our country. They have completely mismanaged this war.”

This is called “strategic defeat.” You have ended up in a worse position than before you began, with your adversary, while battered, emerging in a stronger position than before.

they're calling it the most immediately disastrous war of all time

if you thought China was going to be the big economic loser from our Iran War -- since CHina purchases so much Iranian oil -- think again. Goldman Sachs thinks China will take half the hit to GDP growth we will, thanks in part to the country's massive investments in renewables + big oil reserves

Just to remind everyone that, per McRaven’s Theory, three key tenets of a successful special operation are speed, surprise & security 😳

It's frustrating to see the policy people banging on the same drum and expecting a different sound. I'd suggest that primary care needs to unify and start thinking about ways to improve the job/system. So much of what we do is just convening over a completely dysfunctional system.

This is a great point and something that is not even considered in most HSR.

Cool map from #$JPM showing dated oil flows from the Strait of Hormuz will stop arriving. Keep in mind that (excluding Saudi flows through Yanbu and Iranian flows) the gap in flows then continues forward by 4 weeks and counting + some further time to stabilize tanker networks.

The Iranian war as a great illustration of the Chesterton Fence. fs.blog/chestertons-...

at the risk of offending another genteel law professor who insists that all inquiry is valid and in good faith, the effort to read another meaning into the citizenship clause is like trying to read another meaning into the qualifications clause. it's obvious nonsense.

Modeling missed a variable.

Our most fearless journalists these days are our cartoonists.

If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today. That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right

Love iowa's offense

Thing is... every council and govt does this sort of stuff all the time. What Mamdani is doing brilliantly is communicating it in a way that works.

Sacubril/valsartan is the next in a long line of expense meds that EBM doubt until they are cheap AND everyone switches to. **The problem with this drug is hypotension. People end up on like a 1/4 of pill to avoid it.

As an uninformed American, it is hard for me to fathom why the UK hasn't rejoined the EU.

Meanwhile 2007 is on the floor receiving CPR.

TMZ is reporting that Tiger Woods was arrested on suspicion of DUI after a rollover crash in Florida

Doesn't holding down prices just kick back later when supply is completely insufficient?

The Hormuz stoppage numbers are just enormous and are legitimately hard for people to fully appreciate. For perspective, for the past month the oil market has been operating without roughly one and a half Saudi Arabias.

Tomorrow would be a great time to re-enact.

Pretest probability always wins with any scale.

In case this isn't obvious; everyone is going to want ukraine as an ally #2.

In case this isn't clear yet. Everyone is going to want Ukraine as an ally.

So this is Trump stealing a win when the Senate was about to steamroll him:

the guy whose state only exists because of great power protections over the Strait of Malacca is someone to pay attention to here

This is probably the least surprising piece of news ever.

TACO'ing was never an option.

“If the U.S. wants to reopen the Strait, it has only two real options: reach an agreement with Iran—or use overwhelming force. There is no third option.” Danny Citrinowicz Former head of Iran branch of Israeli defense intelligence Citrinowicz publicly warned against the Iran War before it began.

"These are not projections. They are measurements. The economic argument for fossil fuels is over. What remains is not an argument. It is a lobbying operation."

I've said this before, but part of why I continue to be bleak on prospects of prompt war termination are because Iran has *very strong incentives* to continue pain infliction (against the US/Israel/GCC and the broader world) to deter a future war by credibly communicating the magnitude of costs.

The average price of diesel has reached a new all-time record in California at $6.98 per gallon, according to GasBuddy data. This beats out the 2022 record of $6.97/gal.

This is 100% true.

This is a very good read no01.substack.com/p/march-19-2... I'd be searching for a debit card that isn't Visa o MasterCard, just in case.
