  1. ruh roh, Hays County dun fucked up.

    Quote

    Earlier this morning, ACTRIS sent a cease and desist to the Hays Central Appraisal District (HCAD) regarding the unauthorized use of ACTRIS MLS data. Here’s what you need to know.

     

    We have been made aware that an appraiser working for HCAD may have accessed ACTRIS data in violation of the terms of service. We are actively investigating the source(s) of the unauthorized data access and how MLS data may have been inappropriately used in the appraisal of Hays County properties.

     

    Unauthorized access to MLS data by an appraisal district or any other entity is unacceptable. The Texas legislature has been clear about the respect, freedom, and privacy homeowners should have regarding their home purchases and sales, and we will not interrupt that expectation.

     

    As a governmental entity, HCAD is not open to the public to conduct appraisals for compensation, and therefore does not meet ACTRIS rules regarding the authorized use of the platform. Additionally, licensed appraisers who have authorized access to the MLS are prohibited from sharing MLS data beyond the purposes of providing appraisals for consumers. 

     

    The unauthorized use of MLS data by county appraisal districts is an ongoing issue across the state of Texas. ACTRIS has been and will continue to lead the charge in proactively addressing violations to our rules. 

     

    Rest assured, actions will be taken to ensure full accountability from all parties enabling the unauthorized exploitation of ACTRIS MLS data. Please remain on the lookout for additional updates on this issue.
     
    Sincerely, 
    Cord Shiflet

    Specifically it was immaculate vibes lol. I had negged one of his cryptoshill posts and I noticed his rep didn't go down and then when I looked at his user page and added up the pos and neg rep it wasnt what his number showed

    I know there were some specific measures taken to stop neg harassment, but I didn't know if it extended to complete protection or something like that

    Isn't he almost gone?

    @immamac I've noticed that some of my given rep isn't reflected in a user's rep total but is still appearing to be registered to them. Is there a bug in the rep system or is it this another one of those "protect someone who's been crowdsourced five times" deals?

    Does it show up after 15 minutes? I did some changes to the caching yesterday.

    this shit cracks me up. i'm getting flashbacks of the blinking red envelope from hornfans, except it won't be from imma. it'll be auto generated by a panties in a wad poster and his/her 2 socks.

    pretty soon imma is going to give his blessing to someone starting his/her own board.

    This has always been an open invitation. I'll even help you start it. 

    Seems like this thread has resulted in no bans at all than anyone even knows or cares about.

    I would still prefer that any solar i was to generate would be used by me directly either as it is generated or via personal capacitance, rather than having to send it through a meter into the grid. 
    Then pay for any power that I need over and above that availability.

    is there a valid reason why it has to be that way?  Aren’t there transmission losses doing it like that, that make the entire system inefficient?  
     

    is it too complex for a home to integrate two power sources seamlessly?

    One is set up for the homeowner one is set up for a distributed grid and feedback. You can't have both, but you can install a battery back and effectively run the house "off grid" and feed solar to it first, then the grid 2nd. With no battery bank you just always feed back to the grid. 

  6. The amount of stupidity in this thread is staggering. 

    The population of Texas has been increasing at a rapid, breakneck pace for the last 5-10 years. High consumption companies have also been moving into Texas during that time (part of the reason for all the population moving here). Do people think electricity is just magically produced? You combine that with our shitty infrastructure and a retail market for electricity when bad things happen to our shitty infrastructure and poof you have price gouging. 

    Our electricity is still "cheap" relative to other places, but Texas is rapidly becoming a shit hole because of our complete lack of reinvestment. The people of Texas are subsidizing multi billion dollar conglomerates and wondering why they aren't doing anything to help when shit goes slightly off the rails.

    The article at the link is bone chilling.  The NYT has all the receipts of these war crimes.  They're going to be able to say with specificity exactly who killed these poor Ukrainians.

    Imagine if the holocaust had been documented in real time like the atrocities the Russians are currently committing. 

     

    Then imagine that the world watched instead of doing anything about it because of nuclear weapons.

    Economic conditions are almost totally driven by government policy be that fiscal, monetary, tax, or trade, to name a few.  Different parties and different people within those parties have different approaches. And you can’t really have a real discussion without taking that into account. 

    Yes you can, by not mentioning political party or the person's name and their position which actually holds the authority not their party or person.

    The Whig's get no respect in the CR.

    I think the commentary has been mostly on topic, but there are too many names and political parties getting thrown around. Economics has some government interaction not all government commentary needs to be party or person associated.

    So, what some of you are missing when you say "what can the blue bloods do" in a coordinated sense to them is they can right and proper fuck aggy up the ass with no lube (Cue aggy "don't threaten me with a good time" response) through NIL stuff.  
    If aggy got too big for their britches (they did) and if it pissed off other people (it did) and if those other people wanted to teach them a lesson (they do) they could engage in a coordinated attack on the aggy roster to bring them down to size.

    Imagine what would happen to those dip shits if Bama, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas, USC, Florida, LSU, Auburn, MIchigan, Ohio State and Oklahoma all got together and said- why don't we each pick one of their top ten guys and recruit them into the portal (kind of like Addison).  We don't need to fight against each other, we can just go each pick someone different to go after.  How are they going to make payroll then, if they are having to write high 6 to mid 7 figure checks to keep everyone on their team that's worth a damn that someone else wanted to come get.  
    They might be able to stave off some depletion of the roster but that damn sure wouldn't leave much left to be throwing around on the recruiting trail.

    My guess is that there will exist a MAD scenario where blue bloods don't go poaching each others players for fear of reprisals and it's just bad business. There's a reason why the Players Association in baseball screams collusion all the time- the owners do it so that they can hold down price on players b/c it's effective.  If we cost SC an extra $500,000.00 on Addison (or land him) you think they are going to think it was a good idea to try to recruit X into the portal?  Or they going to think twice the next time around.  But if aggy is targeted in the shower that is NIL/Portal marketplace they gonna get gang raped and I'm here for it.  
    They really ought to shut their mouth and know their place.  They are really bad at both those things. 

    There is a 3 year lifespan and only 1 free xfer. This will never happen.

    Feel free to post links for a $10k install that is actually available now and won't void your solar warranty.

    I can pay some guy to aggy-rig a bunch of LiPo batteries together for a few grand, but I'd get about 6 hours of whole house backup power and probably void my solar warranty.

    https://signaturesolar.com/eg4-lifepower4-lithium-battery-48v-100ah/ x3 in a server rack and a grid tie inverter is more capacity and more potential sustained output that a power wall which is only 13.5kwh @ 9kw

    My neighbor and I both have similar solar setups, thought I have 2x the panels, and he uses half the power I do. He got a recent Tesla Powerbank install quote for $40k.

    You would need massive annual electric bills to justify dropping $40k.

    Power walls are ridiculously overpriced. You can get a similar setup for 1/4 the cost nowadays.
