I'm home for Thanksgiving this year, in contrast to last year, when I celebrated with my husband Bart Gulley and my sister Cece Helgesen in Granada, Spain.

What's the bigger difference? A jump from 80.0% to 90.0%? Or from 98.0% to 99.9%? Well, depends on which space you are asking the question in. The obvious answer would be that the first jump is larger, because it's a difference of 0.10, while the other is at 0.019. If you thought so too, then it's because you calculated the difference in probability space, which is also the space in which I presented the question.

Mitch’s Pitch: Simon & Garfunkel. Hall & Oates. Loggins & Messina. They’re the three most famous duos in rock history, but one of these is not like the other. It always seemed like Paul Simon and Darryl Hall were saddled with Art Garfunkel and John Oates, and, given the chance, they’d gladly toss their partner overboard for some sweet solo success. Where Paul was quite successful as a solo act (especially when he was stealing those Los Lobos songs!

Howdy, readers!  In reading through the comments, I’ve been glad to see how the Seinfeld comparison resonated with so many of you over the last week.

The first time I had a caldosa was in Monteverde in 2018, from a little kiosk by the side of the road. Tropical farmer and chef José Gonzalez, who had the restaurant Al Mercat in San José at the time, ordered one for me. It might not have even been called a caldosa then and José just asked the guy in the bo… ncG1vNJzZmimlazEsL7LnZyrZqOqr7TAwJyiZ5ufonyxe8uopaBlnJ7DpnnToZxmm5GhsbC%2FwA%3D%3D

The implicit question is – if everyone hates the current system, who perpetuates it? And Ginsberg answers: “Moloch”.

Governors already appoint the members of the four boards of supervisors, save for the sole student member. Fesi’s bill would give the governor further power, allowing him to select the chair.
