had the same experience this past summer, though I did have a Didi that was a fairly new Mercedes S class and it was hugely disappointing compared to the Chinese EVs.

This stood out to me too, seems like a months-long project with heavy use of Claude
How does a structure that's just stairs have a separate title that can be sold? The entire premise of this is so incomprehensible to me.
Brits -- is this a common thing?
What they have been invested heavily in is the Apple Neural Engine ("ANE"), special silicon right on the SoC to handle ML / AI code. Optimize on a server, then run the model on your iPhone or probably soon, your Apple Watch.
WWDC this year is going to be very, very important.

But no, each judge generally does NOT get to write their own rules of formatting. Districts (at the federal level) go to great lengths to ensure that things are uniform in that jurisdiction, for the ease of the clerk's office. Someone looking at this PDF would likely not immediately know it was an order. State courts are even more uniform, with statewide rules on typeface, font size, margin width, whether something must or can be included in a single document or broken out into a separate filing, number of lines of empty space at the top of a page, etc etc
Not saying there's anything improper about it, but it looks really bizarre to me. Why the judge didn't have one of her clerks slap it into a Word document with a short caption and file that on ECF is totally beyond me. And as a matter of style, it seems amateurish and haphazard.
Might be the EPA but I’m guessing it’ll be TCEQ; most states, especially the large ones, have their own state agencies and so long as the standard exceeds what the federal minimums are, then they issue the permits. This is the scheme set up by the Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act. (I practice in California and we have two separate state agencies, one for air and one for water. It seems like Texas Comm’n on Enviro Quality does both per their website.) The EPA doesn’t get involved in permit issuing and the state agencies even have authority over other federal agencies’ operations and issue permits to them.
So if the FAA is asleep at the switch, who really cares? There’s a whole second governmental regulator out there and a host of environmental non-profits and local governments with standing to sue if they think that regulator has made a decision they don’t like.
It’s like complaining that the plumbing inspector hasn’t given proper consideration to the minimum set-backs and architectural character of the neighborhood and signs off on the new toilets and showers for a house renovation. Like, who cares? You can’t move in without getting the final permit from the City and even if you did get that permit, the neighbors can sue and stop construction if they think the City made the wrong decision.
What am I missing? Why is this author so obviously emotionally distraught?
I did appreciate some details, like the idea of airships for long distance leisure travel and large swaths of land being returned to wilderness. But overall it didn’t live up to the hype.
As to your second point, I sincerely doubt California’s greatest problem is too few wannabe founders. ::smiley face emoji::
But as I note in another comment, AB 2088 didn’t even get a vote in committee so it’s hardly a serious policy proposal at this point. The author is building straw men and knocking them down at a furious rate.
The other parts of the essay do a bait-and-switch between noting that some businesses are leaving and implying that it’s the over-regulated business environment —- but if you drill down it’s really motivated by the state income tax. Which, yes, is high and can be significant especially on the sorts of people that are successful at running their own business, which is to say high earners.
And still, how many businesses did California lose in 2018 and 2019? Less than 800 total. So out of the 40 million people that live here, 0.001% chose to leave every year. Even if that’s a net number (which the author doesn’t clarify) it doesn’t rise to the level of something policy makers should care about.
One would think economists writing at the Hoover Institute would be more rigorous about their facts and argument, and not just whine in print and get it published.

I’ve had several night guards from dentists but chewed through them pretty quickly and it gets expensive.
The truly cheap would go with one of them and avoid the $2.50 monthly fee for a server.
it's a notational way in the chess program (written by Ken Thompson) to describe a chess move, "pawn from Queen's 2 to Queen's 4."
A very common opening move that "puts a pawn in the center, controlling the important e5-square, and opens the line for the Bc1."[1]
The notation is old. Modern notation would just write it as "d4" because there's only one piece (a pawn) who can move to that square as the first move and only one spot from which it can move (d2).
