The Energy Detective
I love my energy detective. It is a display that shows our household electricity usage converted to $/kWH all the time. My favorite usage so far is checking when I leave the house to ensure that the usage is below 0.10$/Hour, if its higher we forgot something left on. I wanted to share the Groton Electric settings for it… if you pay your bill early (10% discount included)
Tiered Rates T1 (0-500 kWh) = 0.0612 + 0.0088 + 0.03157 + 0.01842 – 0.0126 = 0.10739 T2 (>500kWh) = 0.0717 + 0.0088 + 0.03157 + 0.01842 -0.0126 = 0.11789 Annual Charge = 0 Fixed Monthly = 0 Min. Monthy = 5.62 Tax Rate = 0%
My meter is read on the 23rd of each month, all this information was easily available from Groton Electric
A few pictures of installing mine, don’t forget that the red dots on the clamps need to be on in the same direction.

Quantitative analysis and the Nicole El Karoui
Vacation in London and Paris was fabulous. In related French news there is a professor at the Ecole Polytechnique who’s students are at the top of every investment bank recruiters list for big bucks. Nicole El Karoui is an amazing math professor who has the best classes for quantitative analysts in the derivatives market. This demand for “quants” is also very strong in marketing hiring and new college grads who have studied these fields along with statistics are in high demand.
