I spoke to Reuters about our Seventh Circuit appeal on behalf of drivers trapped in gridlock by pro-Hamas protestors who blockaded the entrance to O’Hare Airport for hours. Argument scheduled for April 9.

To me, this seems like a big problem. There is a high profile dispute over immigration law. The federal circuit court takes a case, issues a quick opinion, and resolves it. Then, the district judges shift to give the same relief under a different line of argument? I'm skeptical!

Another Berkeley professor told the author: “In my second-year engineering class, a student asked me to explain why 1/2 1/3 = 5/6…. The lecture had to stop while I explained fractions.”

Chattanooga's new courthouse. The style is called "Greco-Deco". We're taking this worldwide. We're taking this to Mars. This is the answer.

Update: judge released him from jail

Suppose you call your frozen fish "100% whole fish fillets." But the fillets also include "Sodium Tripolyphosphate [Added to retain Moisture]" and water. Is it unlawful false advertising to say "100% whole fish"? Consumers in CA, NY, and MA allege so. And a court recently allowed the case to proceed, denying Van de Kamp's/ConAgra's motion to dismiss. Court says that at this stage, "the plaintiffs offer a plausible reading of the label, which they allege is false."

Fun history fact, SpaceX used to be headquartered in California but their leaders actively chased the company away.

The next trillionaire will undoubtedly get there by solving some very important problems (like advancing electrification of global personal transportation by a decade or more, dramatically cutting the $/kg of taking stuff to orbit, or supplying wireless broadband internet to the entire planet). I want to live in the world that person will help create.

The SEC “protected” me by prohibiting me from investing in SpaceX for over a decade, causing retail investors to miss thousands of percent of returns that wealthy insiders got instead. Warren wants to fix this not by deregulation, but by a confiscatory wealth tax.

So many cases where courts need to address hallucinated citations that you might see this on Lexis now.

Has the market priced in the fact that the next Dem president is going to assign 40% of the DOJ to the Jail Elon Musk Task Force?

Was considering whether to root for the #61 team in the world or the #67 team in the world in the battle for third place in Group H.

I wanted to see what "The Center for the Defense of Academic Freedom" did in practice. So I FOIAed the emails of one of its fellows. They included links to meeting audio, transcripts, grant records, and more. The results were eye-opening. city-journal.org/article/mel…

lol, got allocated 4% of my request for SpaceX IPO.

It also seems noteworthy that Platner told his right-wing girlfriend that he got the tattoo because he and his unit were “killers,” and he told the leftist girlfriend it was to remind him that America is evil. The pathological lying goes way back.

I was right.

So I thought it was sufficiently clear from the first sentence that I don't buy into the LA fraud story, but apparently not. I don't, which means there's not much interesting to say about it, but I do have one important thing on the Washington Times story and its statistics. 1/

I love my FSD except for two bugs. 1) my neighborhood is dense, and the GPS misses my driveway and aims for my neighbors when parking about 10-20% of the time. 2) A sort of major north-south cross street near me is four lanes, with two lanes permitted for parking. Enough cars park that one has to stay in the center lane most of the time. But, still, at a stop sign, cars can use both lanes because cars can’t park near the stop sign, permitting twice the throughput. Many drivers refuse to use the second lane, backing up traffic (for blocks at rush hour); frustrating to be sure, but FSD should know better and, instead of keeping me in the lane with an eight-car stop sign backup, recognize the empty lane and let me pass the people who don’t know how to drive and aren’t scissoring. (I just take over there. FSD won’t do it even if I hint with a turn signal.) Fine, the car will have to merge over after the stop sign and should yield to the car in the center lane to be polite, but use the full throughput at the bottleneck, avoid the negative externality of staying in one lane. FSD aggressively changes lanes otherwise, so it’s clearly been programmed to about the efficient thing here.
