Elon Musk’s team of Texas lobbyists during the 2025 legislative session did not rival those of huge energy and telecommunications companies,
which typically employ dozens of people to represent them.
⭐️But Musk and his companies still hired more lobbyists this year than any other since 2021, according to data from the Texas Ethics Commission.
❌Musk, the billionaire businessman behind carmaker Tesla and aerospace company SpaceX, influenced several new Texas laws this year. …

Elon Musk Hired a Dozen Texas Lobbyists This Year. State Law Keeps the Extent of Their Influence Under Wraps.
Musk, the billionaire businessman behind Tesla and SpaceX, influenced several new Texas laws this year. How his lobbyists came about these wins, however, is more of a mystery.

👋 Hello! I’m Łukasz. Thirty-something, living in Warsaw, Poland. On fedi since 2021 or so. Right now, I'm merging my two accounts into one and giving this profile a fresh new start.
I live a few parallel lives.
Most of the time I’m a web developer. I work with TypeScript, React and all that jazz. But I still enjoy static site generators and good ol’ HTML/CSS.
In another life, I’m a documentary photographer and photojournalist. I’m interested in activism, art and culture, politics, and pretty much anything interesting happening on city streets. A big part of my photography journey involves documenting protests and demonstrations in Poland, especially those related to human rights and social issues. I’m also drawn to street art, particularly when it carries strong messages.
I occasionally blog and translate. Many years ago I wrote two books about WordPress. However, these days I’m more likely to go outside and touch grass than spend even more time in front of a screen.
Outside of that, expect me to post about mental health and politics. I promise to use CWs when appropriate.
I post in both English and Polish, depending on the topic.
Aaaand that’s it. Nice to meet you! ☺️

Difference of weighted composition operators between Bergman spaces
We first obtain a simpler proof of the main results in [IEOT, {\bf 93}(2021), 17], which characterized the bounded and compact differences $C_{u,φ}-C_{v,ψ}$ of two weighted composition operators acting from $A_α^p(\mathbb{D})$ to $A_α^q(\mathbb{D})$. Then we get some characterizations for the difference of weighted composition operator belonging to Schatten class. Moreover, compact difference of a weighted composition operator and a unweighted composition operator on Hardy space is also stu…

Methodological Advances and Challenges in Indirect Treatment Comparisons: A Review of International Guidelines and HAS TC Case Studies
To evaluate methodological challenges and regulatory considerations of indirect treatment comparisons (ITCs) with the analysis of international health technology assessment guidelines and French Transparency Committee (TC) decisions. We conducted a pragmatic review of ITC guidelines from major health technology assessment (HTA) bodies and multistakeholder organizations. Then, we analyzed TC opinions published between 2021-2023. We extracted data on ITC methodology, therapeutic areas, acceptabil…

Modeling pandemics
We review several models for pandemics that plagued the USA and the world in the past decade. Methods of data fitting are reviewed and several types of microscopic and rate equation models are discussed and numerically solved. This paper was written in March of 2021 and newer data is now available; however some of the models and techniques we used to numerically study these models are still of interest. Several appendices discuss in detail these models.
