The emissions rule’s numbers problem

The hearing turned on a single figure, and the figure came from the rule’s own impact statement rather than from the agency’s testimony.

The rule’s own impact statement puts the compliance cost at $4.2bn a year, which is roughly double the figure the senator read into the record. Nobody in the room corrected it.

The senator’s office did not dispute the number afterwards, and the committee’s own summary reprinted it without a note.

The transcript was published the same afternoon.

One pass, from the page you are on to a link you can send.

Nothing is filed for later. The clip, the note and the published page happen in the same panel, in the same minute, without leaving the tab.

Context notes

A note gives you something to check.

Not a verdict on the page — a specific claim with a source you can open, in the panel beside the page it is about.

A note is shown when readers who usually disagree both rate it helpful. That is a harder bar than a majority, and many notes never clear it.

No counts, scores or tallies. A visible majority is the fastest way to make people vote with it.

The state is drawn, not captioned. Upright means rated helpful across disagreement; italic means not yet.

Signed with an alias, never a handle. The same writer always writes under the same name.

Shown to everyone. Both sides rated it helpful, so the bridge mark closed.
Waiting. Signed-in readers only. Waiting says nothing about whether a note is right.

What you publish is a page, not a post.

It has its own address, it renders the clip and the quote it came from, and it works for someone who has never heard of the extension. Replies can agree or dispute, and both are counted.

Clips are short, attributed and made for commentary — but if a clip is yours and you want it down, the claim form is on the page itself. It needs no account. An upheld claim removes the clip and leaves the take and its attribution standing, and the page says that is what happened.

The rest of the panel is one rail down the left.

Capture and Context are about the page in front of you. The four below them are about what has been clipped — yours and everyone else’s — and your own profile is the avatar at the foot.

  • Capture The page in front of you. Highlight a passage, or set in and out points on a video or podcast, and publish it.

  • Context Notes about the page in front of you, shown only once readers who usually disagree have both rated one helpful.

  • Feed Everyone's clips, read three ways: Top today, Newest, or only the people you follow. Opening one pushes a detail screen over the list.

  • My clips Your own, grouped by day, each row saying where it got to — public, draft, working, failed.

  • Activity Who replied, agreed, disputed or filed a claim, grouped Today and Earlier. The dot on the rail counts what you have not read.

  • Ask A generated answer built only from clips by the people you follow, with the ones it used listed underneath.

  • Profile Yours, from the avatar at the foot of the rail. Anyone else's, from their name on a card.

Feed, on Newest. The control in the header is the same list read two other ways — Top today, or only the people you follow.
