Happy July 4th! When is SF getting independence from PGE?

My PGE bills have doubled (not joking, actually doubled!) since March because of their new base service charge scam. When are we getting independent of their scammy thieving asses?

Rent Control is tale of two renters

I checked recent listings of my apartment complex (I live in a big one downtown).

I pay about 40%-50% of the current listed prices for same unit type. Which means that new people moving in are paying double what I'm paying.

While it benefits me, i kinda feel for people paying double what i'm paying for the same unit.

ELI5: why is google paying so much more for spacex compute than anthropic?

Anthropic paying $1.25b for 220k GPUs at Colossus 1 AND X GPUs at Colossus 2.

Google paying $920m for 110k GPUs.

Even if the $1.25B was just colossus 1, anthropic is paying less than google per GPU. If we assume 20/80 split of Colossus 1 / 2, then Google is paying like 8X more per GPU. So what's going on? Can Google not negotiate?
