This looks really cool, Alex Tabarrok thought it was AI, but it's deterministic, essentially headphone noise cancellation but for wings. They think it might make planes lighter in the future.
I think it's pretty clear that inclusionary zoning reduces the total number of units built, but as long as the upzoning is more than the cost from the IZ, it's plausible that more cheap units might be created. But the danger of trying to handle this balance is that you miss, like this example and get nothing. In theory IZ should help win arguments with NIMBYs who oppose homes, but it never seems to change minds, arguably this was the wrong way to fund subsidized housing.

Biden publicly stated that it would be a "big mistake" for Israel to occupy Gaza. Hopefully they continue making progress on avoiding the worst possible outcomes. The Palestinian president is calling for Hamas to release the hostages, although a week late.
