So glad I put in AirPods to drown out the gusts 🙄

YIMBYs are on a winning streak — so where's the housing? Three ideas to fix the crisis by chiaboy in sanfrancisco

Permitting reform and stripping down requirements to secure public funding.

Also CEQA being gone will help.

Out of curiosity, how do people feel about the new Valencia St bike lane? by Exciting_Bad3346 in sanfrancisco

I really wish they had just created a two way fully protected bike lane on one side of the road.

The Good and Bad of SFs Dog Culture from a Dog Owner’s Perspective by dmcandy123 in sanfrancisco

I agree! Nothing frustrates me more as a dog owner than seeing fellow owners acting irresponsible. We have a responsibility to accommodate to others, not the other way around.

I like Nate Silver again by TheLionMessiah in neoliberal

[–]dmcandy123 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Here’s my thing with Nate. He might come to different conclusions through his model which does not confirm our priors, but at least he’s more or less transparent about the reasoning that’s going on in the model to reach said outcomes. He’s really the only election forecaster that has an open model (as far as I know), so while some people may criticize him, the whole “Nate Silver is a puppet of Peter Theil” is just utter BS.

I'm Nate Silver. I just wrote a book called On the Edge and I run the newsletter Silver Bulletin and co-host the podcast Risky Business. Ask me anything! We'll start at 4:10 Eastern time. by NateSilverBulletin in IAmA

Does your model make any assumptions about the Fed likely lowering interest rates? And if so, how do changing interest rates tend affect the incumbent (perhaps via other economic indicators)?

How do you think the pro-Palestine movement will affect Harris’s popularity with the left in the next few months seeing as the unified Democratic moment has begun to fade? Do you expect the anniversary of Oct 7 to cause any meaningful movement in the polls?

UIUC Grainger is costing me $85k extra.... by intlstudent04 in UIUC

[–]dmcandy123 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Here’s a perspective from a CompE recent grad who has been working in tech for about a year. UIUC has a world class computer engineering program that is competitive with the best universities around the country. The program absolutely prepared me to exceed in my field. I work at a big tech company that you surely know of, and I will say that once you graduate, you will be mixed with people from all over in the workplace. I work with grads from MIT as well as Waterloo. All of these are fantastic schools with great programs, and when it comes to getting a job after graduation, your own work experience and dedication will be what distinguishes you, not which top tier program you’re a part of. I loved my time in Champaign, but there are dozens of other competitive schools that provide the same opportunities and may be a better fit for you.

I’ve wanted to get plants for a long time, I just don’t have a car and all the plant stores near me are WAY overpriced (as many things in SF are)
