More jobs for the wallet inspection industry

I suspect it may also be a slow integration thing, I know SPP has had a couple of DLR projects online for years, but MISO and it's members were slower to adopt, so may not have wanted to use equip they didn't have experience with

Yeah, a big part of the hangup for IX projects can be gatekeeping from incumbent TOs. The article cites TO self-funded projects, but I know sometimes they will exercise their rights to hold IX customers to more conservative standards

March 11, 2026 Minneapolis City Council 350 South 5th Street Room 370 Minneapolis, MN 55415 Dear Council President Payne, Council Vice President Osman and Council Members: This letter is to inform you that I have vetoed Ordinance No. 2026-002 to extend the pre-eviction notice for renters to 60 days. I understand the authors’ intent, but the experience from COVID-19 and guidance from shelter and affordable housing providers shows that this strategy has not worked. We have heard over and over again from shelter and affordable housing providers that longer timelines produce worse outcomes for residents. In their words, when rental assistance isn’t available, time is a debt trap that becomes a barrier to securing future housing. I heard a call for more financial assistance, and I believe that is the best path forward. Rental assistance is working and getting to renters quickly – rent collections are better in 2026 than 2025. That’s why I’m proposing to spend $1 million from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund for emergency rental assistance administered through Hennepin County. While a 60-day pre-eviction notice period sounds good, there is no data to show that it does good. Pandemic era eviction moratorium allowed many renters to accumulate huge amounts of debt that they are still paying off today. When property owners carry the losses, the housing system experiences upward pressure on rents to replenish reserves, catch up on missed mortgage, insurance, utility, payroll, and property tax payments, and cover increased costs associated with deferred maintenance. I believe most landlords are working with tenants to develop payment plans and access rental assistance. But for bad actors, I worry that the proposal gives them reasons to report tenants to ICE or use minor lease violationswhich don’t require as much notice and are harder to expunge – to evict tenants. We will continue to monitor the data. If something substantially changes, I am committed to working with the City…

mayor jacob frey has vetoed the pause evictions, save lives bill the minneapolis city coucil approved that would've extended the eviction timeline from 30 days to 60 days temporarily to held families impacted by the ICE invasion catch up paying rent

Jacob Frey’s police department permanently evicted the only encampment in Minneapolis yesterday and circled the block for hours threatening to arrest anyone who came back to set up their tent.

It is a strong brand. They had them on the show floor at MIPSYCON (industry conference) at the RiverCentre last year and I got to touch the balls and they were very satisfying to heft

But, then, every part of the grid behavior and management has become more flexible and complex - starting when we got a lot of wind on the system a decade ago - and managing those kind of swings and shifts is just what we do these days.

From a grid management perspective, it is great to have additional transmission capacity, until it isn't there. It means that the rating of transmission lines is continually changing and it is hard to know what it will be tomorrow when you are dispatching long leadtime resources.

This is very different from the kind of transmission projects associated with AI data centers - those are customers that demand extremely high reliability, and because they are customers rather than generators, can justify more expensive robust transmission under the guise of reliability

These are low cost devices that can effectively increase the rating of what are usually fairly local transmission constraints, most hours of the year. This is most often a way to enable more wind or solar because those projects can't justify the high cost of rebuilding lines

An underrated reason the "AI" "revolution" is shit, is scraped "generative AI" is a *LOSSY* record of all human data.

An "LLM" model can recreate past images or sentences, but not in the form someone labored over and loved it— it can only preserve it by making it worse. Pirates should be archivists

TIL a LLM-based simulation of a specific person is called a “sloppelgänger”

When I joined as the head engineer of the Torment Nexus project, it was to work on fascinating technical problems and make the world a better place along the way. I am appalled to discover that the Torment Nexus would be used this way and, now that my options have vested, will be leaving the project

(obviously this is all oversimplification and speculation) thank you for attending my seminar

2020s has largely been boring capital building turnkey formula breweries in strip malls. Newest generation seems more like semi-retirees putting their fun money into salvaging failed breweries that had a good thing going

First generation of micros were like local professors rediscovering their craft. The big boost in the 2010s came from unemployed college friends turning their frat party hobbies into community hangouts in a zero interest environment.

Rocky times for a brewing industry declining in popularity, but it feels like the places that fall and keep going are locally beloved brands that are focused on maintaining resources and goodwill with the community

Fair State reboot by a willing partner, preserves union contract

Dangerous Man bought by some guy, Headflyer closing their taproom and handing it to the Dangerous Man

Burning Brothers bought and rebooted, remaining gluten free

Hey beverage enjoyers, there is an announcement out there of Fair State releasing their core brands under new labels, and I just want to reiterate that the beer & THC bevs are still fully Union Made! So please keep prioritizing them in your purchasing!

I know there's been a range of emotions and reactions tothe closure of the Cooperative portion of Fair State. IMHO, the new ownership is worth giving a chance if you love the beer -- sounds like they've prioritized staff continuity and the union through this process.

me and the other scheming viziers are wearing shoes gifted to us by the king that are way too big. we look ridiculous. the whole court is laughing at us behind our backs. honestly this is a pretty low point for us, the scheming viziers

Oversized shoes? You mean the hallmark of the clown? The jester? Big floppy shoes for me to prance and jape about in like some joker? Well okay yes sir I like them very much.
