s_gangopadhyay··on Ask HN: What’s the gender distribution of HN?
This is kind of an insensitive question. A decent chunk of us are non-binary, and somewhere in between.
s_gangopadhyay··on Ask HN: As a person, what can I do to improve a city?
If the buildings on your street are still privately owned, you could convince the owners to stop renting to section 8 tenants. This is not an easy pitch since the FMR for a street that is primarily section 8 will be less than the ACH deposit you get from the HUD. If you can pull it off, in 2-4 years the values of the buildings will shoot up 50% along with the rents.
s_gangopadhyay··on Electoral College Decision Tree
I travel to "flyover" cities pretty much every other week, and I think the polls got it wrong again. Because of my transient nature and the fact that I'm neither black nor white, my coworkers and clients tend to speak more freely with me regarding politics. My conclusion is that the BLM/rioters have really screwed over Biden, and that not only will Trump win, he'll win by a landslide victory. This is all assuming there aren't going to be any controversies around mail-in ballots.
