And in all of these cases, except for the air, the rats that breathe in air. We saw a decrease over the 8 weeks of cardiac function that the ability of the heart to pump properly. We saw structural changes in the heart at the end, so there was a lot of scarring in the heart. And says senior author, doctor Matt Springer, a Professor of medicine at UCSF, they found changes in the nerves and heart rhythms as well. I think we've done such a good job of convincing people that inhaling tobacco smoke is bad for them that they assume inhaling anything else is better.

We had a couple of big rigs stalled if possible crash, I'm not sure why, but we know they were there blocking a lane on southbound to one O one. Just pass willow road is where the backup begins, but CHP says the big rigs are moving right now. So heavier than usual for that southbound ride as you head toward Mountain View, but all the lanes have been cleared. Those big rigs take up a lot of room and across the bay and mill pedis. We've got a couple of things going on impacting the ride on southbound 8 80. First we have a crash just before the two 37 interchange, which is blocking the right lane. I can see with the Chilton auto body collision cam. And we've got some emergency guardrail repair roadwork going on southbound 8 80 as well.

"Fall 2013, San Francisco. Fred erson exits the caltrain depot at fourth and king, and heads to the creamery, a squat wooden eatery selling coffee and sandwiches. A few months ago, there are some quick Goldman Sachs and headed west, convinced that the future of finance lay in Bitcoin, not the button down Wall Street set. He enters the creamery and looks for the guy he's here to meet. Brian Armstrong, a ballo man, waves at him. Ryan? Yeah, you must be Fred. The two men connected on Reddit after Armstrong posted about needing a cofounder for his Bitcoin startup coin base. There are some like the sound of Armstrong's plan to make coinbase, the simplest place to buy cells store and sand Bitcoin. Armstrong like the sound of versum, the former Wall Street trader turned Bitcoin believer. Armstrong briefs ursa on coinbase's progress so far. The big break came this summer. When I got accepted by Y Combinator, Y Combinator is the Silicon Valley startup school where companies like Dropbox and air-b-n-b began. Y Combinator helped me attract $600,000 of seed funding. Wait a minute. I thought Y Combinator insists on cofounders. It doesn't take single founder operations. Yes, yes, but my cofounder didn't work out. We disagreed about how to manage customers private keys. It was a fundamental disagreement and cofounding like getting married. Y Combinator understood. I see. So what was a disagreement? Well, I want a coinbase to hold the private keys for customers bitcoins. It's ridiculous that people who lose their private keys can never recover their bitcoins. And my cofounder disagreed, he felt holding private keys ran counter to the Bitcoin ethos of empowering people to control their own finances. I'm with you. Normal people don't want to deal with private keys and encrypted software wallets. That's what's wrong with Bitcoin right now. It's full of people on political crusades to tear down the financial system. I don't want to tear the system down. I want to bring it into the 21st century. Armstrong smiles. He's found his man. Ursa and Armstrong, rent an apartment near the creamery and turn it into an office. They pull 16 hour days to get coinbase up and running. In October 2012, coinbase launches, offering a simple website where Bitcoin can be bought and sold with a single click. Simplicity proves to be a compelling proposition. Within weeks, coinbase is struggling to stop its side buckling from the growing number of users. Come January 2013. It's got 40,000 users who are buying and selling a $1 million of Bitcoin a month. And coinbase earns a 1% cut on every transaction. Then in March, an island 7000 miles away plunges into a financial crisis. There's growing anger in Cyprus. Most ATMs are out of money and the banks are closed. People are trying to pull their money after the government announced a proposal to tax everyone's account up to 10%. The money would be taken from citizens to help bail out the country's troubled financial system. The grim news from Cyprus is a gift for Bitcoin. For Bitcoin advocates, Cyprus bank raid is proof of why it's better to stash your wealth in bitcoins that no government can touch. Interest in Bitcoin soars. For the first time, the value of all bitcoins, tops the $1 billion mark. Coinbase's rush of users becomes a stampede. By April, it has more than 100,000 users. But it's still bit instant out in front. Bit instant now handles 35% of all Bitcoin purchases. Its CEO Charlie shrem is now the toast of the Bitcoin world. He's swapped his parents Brooklyn basement for the bright lights of Manhattan. He's even touring the world as an in demand public speaker, spreading the gospel of cryptocurrency far and wide. But behind the scenes, things are falling apart. April 2013, Manhattan. Cameron and Tyler winklevoss march Charlie shrim out the doors and onto Lexington avenue. Their faces are full of thunder. Cameron glares at sram as he props himself up against a window. I've never been so embarrassed in my life. The trio of just met with one of the biggest venture capitalists in financial technology. It was a meeting the twins moved heaven and earth to get. But schramm arrived late, stinking of booze and looking like last night's party never ended. Sram looks up at the angry brothers. Was it really that bad? You were unprepared. You looked high, you dodged every question he asked. Cameron stares at shrimp and wonders if this is all too much too soon. After all, shrem is only 23. You know, sometimes great founders don't make great CEOs. Sram jerks upright. You want to you want to fire me? From my own company? Roger vere was right. You're a pair of suits. Why are listening to roger? He's a felon, the government has a vendetta against him because of his politics. I just think you need to spend less time with him. If you want this to work, you've got to clean up your act. Okay, okay, okay, I screwed up. I'm sorry. But I get it. I'll do better. But deep down, the winklevoss twins sense that a lost cause. He's trapped between their desire to make bit instant the acceptable face of Bitcoin, and veers desire for it to stay true to the cryptocurrencies, libertarian values. But they're running out of time to save bid instant before it goes off the rails. On the next episode, sram gets a nasty surprise. A hacker attacks coinbase, and the law closes in on Silk Road.

And you can also get in touch on Twitter and Facebook were at KQED Forum. Have a couple of comments that are both kind of in the same veins when I read them both, and then going to come to the panel Dave tweets between getting the drivers back an emergency hazard pay. We need to talk about regional connectivity. We need fair integration and network management. Bruce writes for my commune from the East Bay to the peninsula, the cost of driving my electric car is comparable to that of riding Bart. Also, bar trip usually takes longer. That in the homeless and crime problems will keep me off. Bart for this foreseeable future, got a lot of questions and comments about both safety and about sort of what a future more regionally connected system should look like. I mean, even just booking the show, we realized that we would need to get you know more than half a dozen people just to talk about the major transit agencies of the Bay. Um, is there any hope in the long term that perhaps we'll have a much more integrated transit system, and I guess I'll start with you, Bob Powers. Yeah, I would say hope is here and that hope is on the way as well. The transit operators are meeting weekly. Um, coordinating cooperating. We are looking at our transit hubs and making better connectivity. And we've had great deal of success with the connection for and I'll give you one example. Alexis, Um, the connection between Bart and Caltrain down on the peninsula at Millbrae. We change the platform we came in. We make sure our schedules were better coordinated and it's been a huge success. Discussions are going on with the B R T F right now about network management, and they're very collaborative and very positive. Uh, Deborah Gang. How about you? Do you think that Vita might end up as part of a larger regional network? Well, I think Corden. I think network coordination is really important for those making regional trips and is, Bob said, like we just opened in the last year to BART stations in the South, based so for those people that are making regional trips that's very important. I think we also need to look need need a lot lose sight of the fact and again from an equity perspective that a great majority of our trends that writers in the Bay area are not making regional trips. In Santa Clara County, so keep in mind. Santa Clara County is the largest county in the Bay Area. In any other part of the country. We would be considered a region. Um, we are also as a county projected to have the highest growth of both housing and jobs in the region. So something like 85% of our residents live and work within the county. So when we talk about regional travel, we can't lose sight and this is true of other counties as well. Many people in San Francisco County, Oakland, Alameda County Cemetery, County live and work within the county, so we can't get so focused on regional trips that we lose sight of. How many people travel much more locally and how much of an impact that has on congestion air quality. So part of the reason to have more localized transit is because That's important and again in Santa Clara County, where one transit agency for the entire county it's not like we have four or five different agencies. But we do connect to regional rail, whether that's art, or Caltrain, or ace that goes all the way out to San Joaquin Valley, but to Bob's point Um, one of the things that has been a positive pandemic is we are coordinating more closely. We're looking for opportunities and we're finding really good success stories of how to do that coordination, how to look at that regional travel and improve on it, And I think we're making great strides in that and We can continue to communicate and look for ways to improve. But I can't emphasize enough and, you know I'll use the word equity over and over again that we cannot. We cannot shift funds from our transit dependent population that tends to make more local trips to regional travel. When we improve regional travel, we really need to look to our state and federal government for additional funding as we improve that And I think Jeff Tumblin mentioned this earlier in terms of what's broken in terms of budget is transits when the few modes of transportation that we expect to fund itself to such a large extent we really need to look at other ways to find new funding sources. Let's bring in Guillermo from Oakland. Welcome to the show. Hey, thank you for taking my phone call. I have a question for your panel in general. Uh, we, the taxpayers, we've been passing initiatives and we've been paying taxes. For improvement. And every time that I hear this kind of conversations over you guys always asking for money. So where is my dollars taxes? Where are the improvements you guys promote. I also know that some folks who retired during the pandemic Their pensions are very healthy and they retire from bars and public transportation. So it's my tax dollars are going to the pensions of those folks or it goes to the improvements. And if this for the improvement where are those improvements and why you justified? To come back to us and asked for more money. Yeah, Caramel. Thank you for that. I think transit advocates out there would want me to note that highway spending also obviously runs on tax funding as well and tends to be quite large. But let's let's give this one To Jeffrey Tomlin. How would you answer Garma? So again, it goes back to the ways in which taxation has broken in California. So, for example, property taxes as a result of prop 13 are capped at the value of the home when it was originally purchased. The property tax declines over time relative to are expensive and most of our other taxes unless they're indexed to inflation also declined in value over time as our expenses rise, uh, based upon the cost of living So it's very frustrating to us as managers to continue to have to go back and ask for more money because the value of our tax revenues declines as a result of ways in which California fundamental leads structurally broken around how we fund government services. The other challenge that we face is that while we're trying to make improvements, the rest of the world is acting against us. I would argue, but I think this is particularly problematic with regard to congestion. So when we allow our highways and are a Trevin lanes in our streets to get congested, that means transit is less effective. And it also means we have to cut frequency. So what We've been trying to argue this is the best way to get value out of transit is to protect it from congestion. So we can be fast, frequent and reliable and make a far better use of.

I may have visible tattoos.

Potential is about the future, not past history or alternative looks. Not everyone fits the mold that maybe it's time the corporate mold was broken.
