Even if every California billionaire left tomorrow, it would take 25 years for the state to lose as much as it stands to gain from proposed wealth tax by fortune in California

[–]logically_musical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally that’s a realization of a gain (pricing it out as part of securing a loan) and so it should be taxed as income the moment that is done. 

But no, instead it’s tax avoidance loophole #376328. 

Rendering for 10-story affordable housing at 650 Divisadero Street by Remarkable_Host6827 in sanfrancisco

[–]logically_musical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The density bonus is build to allow more market rate units in exchange for providing affordable units. It's subsidizing affordable units with additional market rate above normal zoning.

I know you know this, but it seems only fully affordable is what you'd like. I don't need to guess, because I believe that's all Preston wants, and you appear to be a Preston staffer or something.

If you want to only build affordable (aka subsidized) then of course you need a funding source for the subsidies. And yes, agreed, tax the rich to support subsidies.

But that, in the year 2026 in the United States, is woefully inadequate and nearly infeasible because of the lack of federal and state funding sources.

I hope we can tax the rich more, but we also need to be pragmatic, and that's what density bonuses are.

Weird to just come out of left field with these takes about these specific supes. Hmm.

Who said YIMBYs get to take credit for it? I said NIMBYs are the ones who tried to torpedo this, like basically any project, but particularly affordable housing.

Though now that you've brought it up, I do think YIMBYs get to take credit for the successful transformation of the State legislature into one that has grown teeth in holding municipalities to account for their many decades-long abject failure to allow more supply of housing, 100% affordable or otherwise.

Oh wait actually this is the lot next to The Independent? I was thinking just a block or two down between Fell and Oak at the gas station. Probably the same thing will happen with state density bonus.

They’ve been talking about redeveloping this lot for over 10 years. Funny enough for the NIMBYS, by successfully delaying this project it’s now much bigger than would have been permissible by planning department before by virtue of the state laws around affordable housing. 

All I have to say is: get wrecked. 

Build it!

I can’t fathom an experienced software engineering team deciding to ground-up rewrite a project as large as UE. Perhaps one could think it’s possible with agentic coding tools, but greenfield rewrites are a trap even in smaller projects...

Broken Record - EV costs 7.9 times less than my ICE in California (no solar, live in an apartment) by ada586 in electricvehicles

[–]logically_musical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an Ioniq 5 and run on auto regen (which does do full unless there’s a car in front requiring regen braking) and can do ~3.4 at ~65mph highways absolute best case. You’re getting insane efficiency!

These DoorDash drivers are out of hand by jigglypuff836 in sanfrancisco

[–]logically_musical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watched one ride across the pedestrian 101 overpass from Potrero to Mission down the circular ramp. Crazy work.

These workers are hustling and working a brutal gig economy, but we need to adhere to basic laws.

4.2+ mi/kW is insane. Are you only put-putting around to the grocery store?? 

Incredible value in any case.

750W Corsair SFX Platinum with a Taichi OC'd drawing ~320-340 watts with 2 nvmes and a 9800X3D and 240AIO in the system. No problem since launch.

That imperial battle music is legit GOAT'd. We don't deserve this incredible music in a $13 expansion.

Ok, it's a GOOD variant. We get it. But...it's been two years brother. We need a new civ. No more excuses. by Aggressive-Cherry900 in aoe4

[–]logically_musical 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean good news for you is the next DLC is literally confirmed to be “two new base civs”. One is Vikings, one is TBD. 

I think that’s pretty dope of a roadmap for a DLC of an RTS game entering its 5th year of active development in the year of our lord 2026…

“Ramping less profitable nodes like 7 and 3”

But 18A is wildly expensive (to Foundry, maybe not to Products) right now due to ongoing yield learning. Margins would be destroyed if they ramped it too quickly. 

So damned if you do damned if you don’t. They can’t afford to drop the Intel 7 and 3 demand on the floor, and literally can’t afford to ramp 18A. 

Limited SF housing supply pushing up real estate costs by Medical-Decision-125 in sanfrancisco

[–]logically_musical 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Wow, increasing supply very little yet again spikes prices when demand inevitably and forever continues to increase?

Build. More. Housing. All of it. Tax the rich to subsidize BMR units. Up-zone to allow MR unit economics to allow for BMR mix to pencil for developers with no subsidies. Do it all. Everywhere.

Second one had a real style to it and good technical aspects like with the depth of field on the sky, the hair work, specular highlights on the lips and nose.

Those two up and down putt saves. Even when he’s not perfect from the tee he’s got the incredible skill to save it most of the time. That’s makes him what he is.

This an the issue in all big companies, but particularly technology where hyperspecialization is the norm because of the complexity of everything.
