How the insurance crisis overtook California
Insurance Commissioner Lara’s 2023 regulatory overhaul promised to ease California’s insurance crisis
but instead delivered major concessions to the industry.
Under Lara’s watch, the state’s insurer of last resort exploded
from 123,657 policies in 2019 to over 645,000,
leaving January wildfire victims underinsured.
Six of nine insurers filing under new rules
add zero new policies in high-risk zones

Archivist fired by Trump launches a national effort to strengthen democracy
Colleen Shogan made history when she became the first woman to serve as Archivist of the United States in 2023. In February, President Trump fired her with no reason given. On Constitution Day, Shogan launched a national bipartisan effort called "More Perfect" to work on strengthening democracy.

Analyzing the Performance of a 2.72kWp Rooftop Grid tied Photovoltaic System in Tarlac City, Philippines
Residential and industrial areas are using rooftop grid-tied Photovoltaic (PV) systems, which are becoming increasingly popular. This is because solar energy reduces electrical consumption and provides free energy, while also lowering carbon emissions to create a more sustainable environment. This paper aims to analyze the 2.72kW p rooftop grid-tied PV system performance between 2020 and 2023 in Tarlac City, Philippines. The PV generated yearly is measured by Array Yield (YA), Reference Yield (…

Infrared Synchrotron Emission in the Soft State of GX 339-4 and the Mid-Infrared/X-ray Luminosity Plane of Black Hole X-ray Binaries
Progress in understanding the growth of accreting black holes remains hampered by a lack of sensitive coordinated multiwavelength observations. In particular, the mid-infrared (MIR) regime remains ill-explored except for jet-dominant states. Here, we present comprehensive follow-up of the black hole X-ray binary GX 339-4 during a disc-dominated state in its 2023/24 outburst as part of a multi-wavelength campaign coordinated around JWST/MIRI. The X-ray properties are fairly typical of soft accre…

Dynamical Excitation as a probe of planetary origins
We present a set of numerical simulations of the dynamical evolution of compact planetary systems migrating in a protoplanetary disk whose inner edge is sculpted by the interaction with the stellar magnetic field, as described in Yu et al. (2023). We demonstrate that the resulting final distribution of neighbouring planet period ratios contains only a small surviving fraction of resonant systems, in accordance with observations. The resulting planetary architectures are largely in place by the …

Convex Order and Arbitrage
Wiesel and Zhang [2023] established that two probability measures $μ,ν$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with finite second moments are in convex order (i.e. $μ\preceq_c ν$) if and only if $W_2(ν,ρ)^2-W_2(μ,ρ)^2 \leq \int |y|^2ν(dy) - \int |x|^2μ(dx).$ Let us call a measure $ρ$ maximizing $W_2(ν,ρ)^2-W_2(μ,ρ)^2$ the optimal $ρ$. This paper summarizes key findings by Wiesel and Zhang, develops new algorithms enhancing the search of optimal $ρ$, and builds on the paper throu…
