Investigating functioning of the #EQ5D -Y-5L in five countries shows that participants can differentiate ordinal response levels, but that measurement quality and scaling functions differ by country and age:

Since this is conceptually similar to violations of invariance in other measurement models, I wonder whether the #utility #valuation literature needs a more formal framework for this and whether #Psychometrics might help with this?

@johnzajac @ohmu @RickiTarr @skribe let us not forget that all things have lifespans: you, me, and government programs (supposedly). But it seems we have already discovered eternal #life in the latter, as #systems that reach a certain complexity adapt/evolve just like biologic life.

I am currently in Switzerland where it seems #CERN #science #research lab has become an #energy #utility (the sign says waste heat from #LHC is heating homes in a nearby village)...go figure!

This infographic from Kitchener Utilities is very cool. IMHO education re: how #energy has been used/supplied historically is useful for future planning...

Pdf is of a sunflower & the stem is a pipe with little boxes that go from 1903 to 2022 describing how the utility's function/ownership/etc has changed

There's a lot of benefits to a community-owned #utility - for ex they're looking into district energy & adapting for #climate resilience here

@caseyliss @therett LOL. FWIW, I convert to dark icons in the evening as a subtle hint to think about putting my phone away.

Later in the night I convert to oh-my-god-ugly all dark blue icons as a not-even-close-to-subtle smack in the head to stop using my phone and go to sleep.

So... #utility

In any event, not a significant bug. Do what you can when you can.

Today I used a #tool I wrote last year, in earnest, and I think it saved me a good few hours of effort. 😇

JsonToSmartCsv can reshape #JSON data into #CSV by following predefined rules. You can use it to flatten rich objects into human readable rows.

"In a hearing last month in Arizona, an expert witness for the state’s largest #utility said he agrees with the idea that utilities oppose #RooftopSolar because it is a threat to their profits.

The comment was stunning because it’s something renewable energy advocates have long been saying but that utilities have danced around."

Inside Climate News · Some Rare, Real Talk From a Utility About Competition With Rooftop Solar - Inside Climate NewsIn a hearing last month in Arizona, an expert witness for the state’s largest utility said he agrees with the idea that utilities oppose rooftop solar because it is a threat to their profits. If ever there was an occasion for a “record scratch” sound effect to be played at a regulatory hearing, this was […]

You gotta admit it looks good in the morning light with its little trailer attached. 💕 🚙 ☀️

I'm picking up a small shed from Home Depot today after work so the trailer got a workout. One slight negative is the 100kph speed limit, but I am reminded that unless you're going across a (large) country -- which we've done -- it doesn't make much difference. And even when you do, you really notice the hit in efficiency when going >100.
