The big one is SalesForce Tower, over 1000 ft high and over a billion
dollars. It is about 10% occupied now.

The population of San Francisco is down about 7% from pre-virus. This
could be a good time to hire an engineer or two.

So that means they must\'ve lowered the price 90% on the vacant space, yeah?

Haha just kidding that didn\'t happen. They probably noticed falling
demand and raised rents, lol

What are those funny wires for, crossing that road?

All is underground over here, apart from HV lines.

Is Joe B. gonna fix that?

Here they start housing Ukrain refugees in empty office spaces...

Got some iodine pills yesterday, just in case things go nuculear.
Anyways after Chernobyl I have probably build up resistance.

Cannot you guys lock up Joe B. in one of those skyscrapers?

Three-phase power, obviously. That footbridge is a popular place to
take pictures of downtown. I assume that serious people photoshop the
wires out. Strangely, there are underpasses, city streets, under those
wires.

I shot through a chain link fence with my phone. People with real
cameras cut holes in the fence for their big lenses.

I am collecting a photo album of the most hideous overhead wiring in
San Francisco; so many to choose from. I\'ll post a link eventually.

The land here is mostly rock, so trenching is expensive. Stuff is
underground at work, and we would have paid a fortune to dig up the
street and get fiber internet, so we have a MonkeyBrains dish.

Good idea. We have lots of those, with company restaurants and coffee
bars.

You are being annoying by bringing that crap into SED. If you want a

Oh, SED is mostly of topic so what.
As to what I care about US, you goddamned warmongers and your fanatic brain dead leader
Joe Biden make war here in Europe by provoking Russia no end.
All for the weapon sales of your US criminal Military Industrial Complex
About time that got nuked into oblivion.

First you did Agent Orange in Vietnam,
You invaded Iraq and used depleted uranium ammo
then you had, in fear for yourself, covid
designed in foreign labs, backfired on you idiots did it not?
And you were doing the same in Ukrainian labs.
The list of war crimes by the puppets of your Military Industrial Complex is endless, all for the money
If you do not like what I write then do not read it, nevertheless it may wake your brain if you have one

America is a burden on the word now.

In the US wars just about anywhere always mean pork for the DOD and
austerity for most everyone else.

That is to say \"they\" take it out on the poor - always.

Relevant to the original topic of the thread, US cities are well on
their way to tracking the \"development\" of cities in the 3rd World like
Brazil or India or China, a city core of fabulous wealth surrounded by
the sprawling slums of the destitute.

Market proselytizers will nod and consider this an \"efficient and
equitable allocation of resources\" as all economists will either be
cryptocurrency hustlers or unemployed and living in the slums themselves
by that point.

With an ever-increasing national debt, enabled by forced low interest
rates, the dollar has to collapse and the feds must eventually default
on the debt somehow.

The proposed tax on unrealized capital gains is just one more brick on

Post something about electronic design.

As to electronics, I was testing a Raspberry Pi based PIC programmer I designd back in 2013..

Works, but is now a bunch of cables but can be made very small.
So I started designing and needed a 5 V to 12 V converter (from Raspi GPIO 5 V to 12 V to program the PIC)
and could not get the chips I wanted.. no stock...
So found this on ebay:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/112855472220
1$73 a piece, cannot make it for that.

Ordered a few, but.. delivery:
do, 14 apr - vr, 17 jun

Anyways until then it needs an external wallwart.

We have been designing several products using eval boards, instead of
buying piece parts. LCDs, microZed, a few things like that.

Often we can get the eval boards overnight, when the parts on those
boards have 40 week lead times, and cost more than the eval board.

Well Bob at this point I assume *every* thread in SED
is off topic, unless I see an electronic part or circuit
in the subject.

I wonder, is there a newsgroup reader program
smart enough to be programmed to filter out
threads with non-compliant subjects...?

John Larkin is telling us what he was programmed to think by Trump\'s election propaganda.

What John would have posted - if he were a bit less gullible - would have been

\"People who are susceptible to Donald Trump\'s implausible pre-election propagada now think that he was always stupid, always wrong, always corrupt, and now senile.\"

You can see why Trump\'s election team wanted people to think that (even if John Larkin can\'t), but the majority of the population weren\'t susceptible to the fatuous nonsense and voted for Joe Biden anyway.

John Larkin\'s grasp of economics isn\'t impressive. He starts off with the proposition that John Maynard Keynes was wrong, and swallows the nonsense propagated by economists who felt it to be more important to have a mathematically tractable model of the economy than a model that some kind of capacity to predict what it was actually going to do.

The Republican Party does like unrealistic predictions - it lets them forecast doom and gloom before every election, and justifies them screwing the less well-off if they do get elected.

With all the chip shortages I decided to build the next computer out of discretes. Got a fair number of relays on the shelves, and figured a good voltage pulse could speed em up.
