Go to https://www.taxfairnessproject.org/ to see how much subsidies your neighbors are getting.

The only way to reduce the dependency on cars is to build units w/o parking and then raise money to improve transit.

New housing or old home sales are the only way to raise money for a city like Oakland. So many houses are subsidized by prop 13 that the revenue per capita is much lower here than SF which also includes a county.

SB9 and SB10 are meant to be small improvements. It's understood it won't completely solve the crisis. SB50 would have made a big impact but it didn't pass.

Prop 13 can easily be fixed by a) Limiting it to primary homes. b) Removing it from commercial properties. c) Make it means based and if the homeowner can't afford the taxes, tally it up and assess it at death or final sale w/o an equivalent purchase.

You can see how subsidies work due to prop 13 in the map here https://www.taxfairnessproject.org/.

The group stated that enrollment should be capped until there's new housing. They also simultaneously argued that a housing project shouldn't move forward. Isn't that circular logic?

The same group that sued has also blocked new housing in Berkeley. This isn't a good faith lawsuit.

CEQA has been used to block or slow transit/climate friendly projects while single family homes and highways have proliferated. It hasn't done a good job and should be eliminated.

I don't believe white and black people are on the same footing economically. They've been held down since slavery and it still affects them today. Here's a few examples: real estate redlining (even though that was banned it's still happening today in other forms https://projects.newsday.com/long-island/real-estate-agents-...), the Tulsi race massacre (This story is crazy), urban renewal (Fillmore, West Oakland), all the neighborhoods they destroyed building freeways through them (https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2016/03/role-of..., https://usa.streetsblog.org/2021/01/11/senate-considering-10...). The crack cocaine sentencing disparity split up families, creating the single parent unit, throw in the gang explosion in the 90s, and tough on crime sentencing, it's amazing people make it out of the hood.

Do you think we can improve the damage we've done through policing?

Single family homes is exclusive. You’re choosing to build a mega mansion on a big plot of land vs letting 100 people enjoy that land. The latter will be more affordable.

It’s a United States problem.

With density you can afford transit which would reduce traffic. See Japan for an example. Most people take the train or bus to the ski area. There’s barely anyone in the parking lot.

SF has navigation centers to do step 1. They are really successful for the folks that go through it. https://www.sfpublicworks.org/navigationcenter

It's a comparison between two control groups and the amount that were infected.

X - vaccine - 25 people get it Y - no vaccine - 250 people get it

That would mean it's 1 - 25/250 * 100 = 90% effective.

The only people that got raided were ones that were selling software for profit. I think trading warez was fun and competitive at the top.

COVID-19.

- factory closures and employee issues.

- supply chain issues due to covid.

- wfh demand.

- gaming demand.

- trump tax tariffs. Gpu exemption expired in January. I’m not sure if CPU’s are affected.

The 3090 runs super hot. You probably want to look into a heatsink/fan for your vram.

I honestly don't understand who's buying the hash power on the other side. I think people start with Nicehash because it's PnP and easy to use. From there you can look at Minerstat which mines directly on pools and offers features like triggers and fancy graphs.

Setting up a miner yourself doesn't take much work but it won't have profit switching or extra cloud features that Nicehash or Minerstat have.

The link shows paying in btc because they don’t give you what you mine. You rent your hash rate and people bid on it with btc. You’re not mining btc directly. I use NiceHash at the moment. Your gpu mines ethereum (or whatever the most profitable coin is as NiceHash has a profit switcher.)

Why not both? I’m paying for my card by mining when I’m not gaming. I checked with a watt meter and I’m using 270-300 watts mining total (cpu, gpu, etc). It also heats my room so it’s more efficient than running a heater or using a space heater (1500 watts).

I’m running at 50% gpu which lowers my tdp to 165 watts and gpu temp of 70C.

Miners will under volt, under clock, and boost memory speeds in order to keep temperatures and fan speeds at a lower level. Card failures affect profits.

There’s a global chip shortage due to

1) covid-19. Factory closures, employee, and supply chain issues. 2) 30-40% growth in gaming due to covid-19 3) trump tariffs (for the USA). Gpu exemption expired in January.

Crypto is affecting prices but they aren’t causing the supply issues. I don’t think amd has produced many 6800/6900s. Ryzen 5800/5900 cpus are rarely in stock.

Btc mining only works on asics. You can mine ethereum on gpu’s.

NiceHash rents your hash rate to buyers, you mine ethereum, while they pay your rewards in btc.

If you want ethereum directly, you can mine for a pool like ethermine or flexpool.

I think Trump raised 300 million for stop the steal and didn't spend a dime on it. It all went to himself personally.

I was just talking to my coworkers about this. If you're providing an engineer a laptop for 3 years and paying them a large salary, why would you skimp on $400 on the 16GB->32GB upgrade for free productivity?

Same for the current COVID situation. Providing every engineer with minimum dual monitor and a proper desk is only going to provide you with output gains for very little investment.

This is so everyone doesn't launch in one zone, "us-east-1a".

You can buy a dummy battery with a/c adapter.

Sony also updated their software in august and now support using their cameras as webcams without a capture card.

My first too. I remember installing Linux with 30 or so floppy disks. I also use to go through and configure the kernel and build it myself because I was into over clocking at the time.

Doordash and Amazon Fresh has been a saviour the first month with the puppy.
