Eggs demand is rather inelastic[0]: price has to go up by a lot for demand to go down. Per your link Cal-Maine Food doubled the revenue while selling roughly the same amount of eggs. Expenditure wouldn't double and so you would expect a drastic increase in profit.
> small egg producers may have had issues with avian flu keeping their fairly priced products off the shelves.
They didn't had the product though! This is main part of the reason price went up in 2022. It's either that or no eggs on the shelves.
> But if there are a bunch of children milling about an elementary school in a chaotic situation with lots of double parking, 17 mph is too fast, and the Waymo should have been driving more conservatively.
UK driving theory test has a part called Hazard Perception: not reacting on children milling around would be considered a fail.
Team X is responsible for feature Foo; feature Foo is slow; team X introduces Foo-preload, metrics go up, person responsible gets a bonus.
Multiply that by tens (or even hundreds) of teams and your app startup (either on desktop or mobile) is now a bloated mess. Happened to Office, Facebook iOS and countless others.
One solution is to treat startup cycles as a resource similar to e.g. size or backend servers.
I believe a big crux is in definition of "war ended".
You (and Donald Trump) seem to be using "Ukraine and Russia stop shooting at each other right now", while Ukraine operates more under "Russia stops shooting at us for the foreseeable future, 20 years at least." Russia has previously broken a number of ceasefires and written agreements (including the infamous Budapest memorandum) and so Ukraine is not super trusting to agreements not backed by anything.
> or you can include them in the broad pool, and the people with a full-cinderblock home in a non-flammable state pay $20 more a year so the entire endeavour can work
And you immediately start loosing customers to insurers that either did the former or left LA alltogether. This changes $20 surcharge into $25 surcharge, causing more customers to leave, causing surcharge to increase and so on.
> IRI measures how much a car moves vertically as it travels over a given distance, and is typically given in units like “inches per mile” or “millimeters per meter.
How accurate are phone accelerometers these days? Could Uber/Lyft/etc. start collecting that data from drivers phones.
There's a reasonably simple change that would allow application of Harberger's taxes.
1. Restrictions have to have a "controlling party": a dedicated party that controls the restrictions and can agree to lift it. Classical example would be HOA, but it can also be a seller if they want to sell property with additional restrictions.
2. The controlling party sets the price of a restriction
3. Restricted party can remove the restriction paying price set in 2 to controlling part.
4. The controlling party pays tax as percentage of price set in 2.
i.e. the paper[0] states that first "discharging" produced 7.09kg of H2 out of 8.71 theoretically possible
the efficiency is super low, but again, according to the paper, "most of the energy input was due to thermal losses at the reactor surface (83.9%)", which also benefits from square/cube law.
27 tons of iron oxide have a volume of 5m^3 and can be stored in pretty much a hole in the ground.
2.7 tons of hydrogen have a volume of almost exactly 30000 m^3, requiring storing it under high pressure in specialized containers. Hydrogen is famous for being hard to store without losses.
For long-term storage storage and losses are a problem.
> But the round-trip efficiency of the tank is virtually 100%. The efficiency of the iron-based storage is only 50%
Maybe I'm missing something, but why? As you mentioned it takes 29kj to restore 3 moles of H2 out of (3 moles of H20 + 1 mole of Fe2O3). Where does 50% comes from?
> homes to households hasn’t changed even as prices have gone up
Office for National Statistics (ONS) definition of a household: one person living alone, or a group of people (not necessarily related) living at the same address who share cooking facilities and share a living room, sitting room, or dining area.
By that definition (occupied homes)/households is always about 1, so homes/households is pretty much just homes/(occupied homes).
> I don't buy it: As long as whatever they built brought in more money than the property taxes, there's more money to be had from building than from not building.
The lower the property tax - the lower "money brought in" needs to be for building to happen.
