I think CAHSR has been pretty explicit in what the goals of the project are, and it includes servicing under-served communities with jobs and high quality infrastructure. So you might be attacking a straw-man here, as minimizing cost and the speed of travel is only one of many goals here.

But OK lets say that speed and cost was their only goals, I’m actually not sure that the I-5 alignment straight to Bakersfield would be any cheaper. In fact it might be more expensive, as you would probably need to tunnel under most of the Tejon pass. Such a long tunnel is much more challenging—and hence expensive—then two shorter tunnels under the San Gabriel mountains and the Tehachapi. Now if you evaluate this with the benefits of a Palmdale station, this becomes a no brainier.

Bear in mind that a similar situation arises in the north, where there is an option of doing a very long and expensive tunnel under the Pacheco pass, or take a slight detour to do a cheaper Altamont tunnel. Here CAHSR decided with the expensive option. Part of the decision is probably because Altamont is already serviced with good transit options, while areas south of San José, don’t. Also note that a Tejon Pass tunnel would probably be even longer and much deeper then the Pacheco Pass tunnels.

> likewise, i'm not going to stop using LAX because it's in Inglewood and not koreatown; i'll figure out how to make the commute.

I don’t think this is comparable at all. If the CAHSR would skip Palmdale, then people in the Antelope Valley would be forced to go to either Burbank or Bakerfield. For Burbank they can take the Metrolink, but it is extremely slow and has limited runs. For Bakersfield no mass transit option exists, you have to take a bus, and it is also like 2 hours. Going from downtown LA to Inglewood is simply not the same.

> CA should have probably taken a more incremental approach

So we’ve moved the goalpost here a bit, but OK. I think CAHSR actually agrees with you here. The first portion with CASHR funding to open is going to be the Caltrain electrification and modernization from San José to San Francisco. This is the cheapest, shortest distance, most environmentally-friendly path between two very large densely populated urban centers. The only rivaling corridor is probably LA to San Diego, but CAHSR probably realized the impossibility to get funding for that in the Obama era (as the Surfliner already exists; and the extensive tunneling required would be really expensive). After that the central valley is the easiest segment, so that is where they began after Calmod.
React developers take notes,random lambdas are dumb.
This is not true. Rational actors acting in their own self interest does not always approach a global optimum. An external actor limiting choices can trivially lead to better outcomes, the prisoner's dilemma being an obvious example. The tragedy of the commons is another, where the government historically either intervened to maintain good behaviour, or intervened to enclose the commons, in either case limiting the options of rational players.

Turnover in a city can be argued to be good or bad. Turnover across a city is more clearly bad, but as a said it's still arguable. In any case, I believe you're not making a great case as your basic argument that limiting choices of rational actors can never lead to better outcomes is incorrect, and I think it would be a good idea to read/watch the material I linked or referred to in order to get a better idea of what I'm arguing and so you can directly try to refute the rebuttals of points I'm going to be making. It's going to be faster than relitigating most of this conversation up until that point.
The director of the Switzerland rail real estate told me they went around the world studying existing systems and copied the Japanese way of building stations.

The government owned the stations and leased retail spaces out to businesses in a repeatable templated way. Their goal was for users to never have to leave the station on their way to and from work. So they standardized metro/train stations to have a grocery store, dry cleaning, etc. This was highly profitable and successful.

A lot of rail systems focus on the costs but don’t think about how to design it so that humans want to use rail.

The older/experienced in the industry I get the more I don't believe software engineering research.

I saw this in the anti-TDD/unit testing/Testing papers. They're making claims based on a flatten view of development and aren't capturing what happens on the local machine where those are intended. Additoinally they don't consider the externalities about how you approach the code base.
Yes.

I have been doing quite a bit of building over the last decade at my house and will do more in the coming decade.

Definitely using as many prefabricated materials from Western Europe as I can.

There have been so many advances in manufacturing in the last two decades and so little sign of them on building sites.

I wish I could use locally manufacturers but where I live (Aotearoa) the building industry has become obsessed with using the lowest quality wood available, (tannalised pinus radiata) and plastic whatsits up the whazo and then supplying the parts unfinished. Meaning weeks of painting and finishing.

In Western Europe they have much better timber and an appreciation of quality we do not have.

Building sites should be places where things are assembled, not constructed. The construction should happen in a factory mostly automated with modern machinery.
It’s totally not anything at all related to quantum tunneling in anyway.
My landlord won't accept bitcoin either, but I'm perfectly fine with just using my bank account to let them take the money out of my account. It's easy, convenient and just works, they even have an account at the same bank I have mine.

I also occasionally spend money at international businesses on things PayPal, VISA and MC aren't fond of, so short of putting bills into an envelope and sending them it's difficult to do. Crypto solves that for me. It's quick and I don't need anyone's approval of the industry I'm spending money on. It's like cash for local shopping, minus the large acceptance. I'd love to see more businesses use crypto, and for it to be less roller-coaster-y, and to have less energy waste etc, but it is what it is, and it still works for me.
I've read that one of the reasons that thyroid cancer is so prevalent in east Asia is due to seaweed consumption. Seaweed has 10,000x times the iodine of other food products, and a percentage of that iodine is potentially radioactive. I don't have a source so take this with a grain of (uniodized) salt.

> The piece features Lucier recording himself narrating a text, and then playing the tape recording back into the room, re-recording it. The new recording is then played back and re-recorded, and this process is repeated. Due to the room's particular size and geometry, certain frequencies of the recording are emphasized while others are attenuated. Eventually the words become unintelligible, replaced by the characteristic resonant frequencies of the room itself.

I think you have it backwards.

Unless the threat is exercised every once in a while, it is not taken seriously.

German and French companies know that unions are capable of and willing to go on strike if their demands are not met. That gives companies a much larger incentive to make concessions.

The Warnstreiks I mentioned earlier are a tool for reminding companies every once in a while that the possibility of a strike exists. They're often used during contract negotiations, when the union doesn't feel the company is giving enough.
But its not just Target that are offering the discount, Amazon and the UK retailers have been offering the discount too (Was half tempted to pick one or two up just for parts, Been looking for a decent touch screen I can put near the front door to turn into a Home Assistant control panel, prob would have to design a new PCB for it as its pretty locked down, but you know a decent LCD panel with touch for £40 is rather tempting, but I got to complete atleast one of my ongoing projects before I pick up any more).

I guess it would depend on how much Meta valued controlling the information about it. They could have saved cash and told everyone they were giving up the shelf space and risk it getting leaked or eat the cost of the discounted units and any penalties for late notice to retailers and pull the trigger on the news on their terms.
I fully agree. That would be awful.

That said, we've so far not had any issues with that in the last two years; while sometimes only a subset of chargers at a location have been working, it's never been zero, and we've rarely had to wait in line.

Maybe we've been lucky. Or maybe Oregon is special. But in the face of reliable chargers, I prefer a smaller, widespread count over larger numbers in a concentrated location.

I feel like I'm going crazy as this is not the first time I've seen / heard this argument. What does winter mean? I thought it was the months from December to February. I don't understand the narrative that we're in a warm winter at all. Winter, just like Game of Thrones, is coming.
Of course, the US also has a history of anti-union forces effectively being armed paramilities who would break up even the lightest of strikes or labor movements with public violence.
Maybe another variable at play here is:

Evolution: modifications_size / time / codebase_size

Mature systems tend to have lower Evolution. Thus, there are more bugs being fixed than created. Over time, this leads to stability.

On the other hand, one bug fix creates three more bugs, on average. So, I don't know why on Earth stable systems are even possible...

Going through something somewhat similar, here's where I got hung up: too many ideas that had "potential". I found it really difficult to figure out where to draw the line that would keep me moving forward with material generation, as opposed to reviewing old material.

> Why don't we see tilt-up concrete homes?

When I was a kid, my dad was in commercial construction. During the 80s I was old enough to remember things my dad talked about work, but not really able to fully understand them. I have distinct memories of my dad always dissing prefab concrete constructions that became popular, but I don't remember why they made fun of them. My dad also taught building trades at a local high school for a time, and he had stories about how the houses the students built were of such better construction than modern houses because they were learning the proper ways of construction vs learning how to cut corners and speed up the process while saving money. There were definite comments about how home builders were interested in using prefab walls so that they were always the same vs variance between crews. He was not a fan.

Happy to answer questions over the WE.
Years ago at university I wrote a small 2D circuit board drawing system in Fortran running on some old IBM mainframe computer. Only the first 6 characters of function names mattered so I ended up using the first 2 characters as the module/namespace and carefully encoded the next 4 characters as needed. I had never programmed in Fortran before but it was easy to learn. Fun times.

The company I work for is still using old Fortran code to simulate how long it takes for trains with a certain load to get from A to B given a sequence of gradients. I bet small bits of Fortran still lives inside many systems written in C/C++.

It's simple, right? If you can make $x and your apparent return is $y, I will take as much of your surplus $y-$x as I can. To make it acceptable, I will use other words, but I'm really just trying to capture your surplus and I will get it because you will tell people that $y is much greater than $Y (these true return) because you must inflate $y by some amount to represent the gain to you $y-$Y politically. An exploitable principal-agent situation.
