To put thing in perspective, US rail moves:

61 tons of freight per American each year
94 tons of freight per mile for each passenger-mile on rail
1/3 of all export goods move by rail
1.7 trillion ton-miles of freight
40% of US long distance freight by volume uses rail

So you have a problem in that increasing the costs to freight will affect all Americans in making them pay more for goods, whereas it will only benefit those passengers using rail. So politically, this is a tough sell. I think you need to put down dedicated track for passenger rail if you want it to be prioritized in our existing rail system, as it's currently a rounding error compared to freight.

That said, I think you will find that there are transportation corridors where there is the political will to fund laying down dedicated track for passenger rail. The way to think about it is that rail maybe costs $X per mile of track, but provides 100000X benefit for freight, and maybe 10x benefit for passenger traffic, so while you would never prioritize passenger traffic over freight, or even treat them equally, it still makes sense to build dedicated tracks for passenger rail.

Yeah, that's the actual bit that baffles me about ChatGPT still. Producing coherent, fluent text is alright, but we could already sort of do that 20 years ago with markov models or even just grammars (see Chomsky).

Understanding text in the depth that ChatGPT (and GPT-3) appear to understand the prompts is something entirely different and has to my knowledge never been archieved before the current architectures.

Selling transportation doesn't make it not rent extraction: these companies were given the land they operate on, plus government bonds to offset their capital expenses. Most operate as monopolies or duopolies in their regions, which is the efficient condition for rent-seeking behavior.

(The fact that they experience brisk competition from other subsidized forms of transportation doesn't alter this.)

All you gotta do is watch a few episodes of "Aviation Disasters" to conclude that the pilot needs a backup - the copilot.

After all, when the pilot goes to the potty, who is flying the airplane? The computer? LOL. When something unanticipated goes wrong, the computers are COMPLETELY USELESS because it wasn't programmed to deal with unanticipated problems.

Me, I'll pay a bit extra for my flight to have 2 pilots.

Pilots:

1. fall asleep

2. get distracted

3. make mistakes

4. misinterpret what is going on

5. panic

6. have heart attacks

7. take breaks

8. use the wrong checklist

9. have bad days

10. forget to watch the airspeed and altitude

11. skip steps on the checklist

I.e. are human.

And so a backup is needed.

This sounds like how you would buy a flat where you didn't want to make a paper trail.

In the real (non-criminal) world you would have a conveyancing solicitor handle it, and he would take care of the contract, the transfer, checking for liens, stamp duty etc.

It varies slightly from person to person, but generally “lots of vegetables and minimize highly processed foods. Those are the common denominators of a healthy diet. From there, you can fill in the blanks to suit your tastes and your unique physiological needs by adding your choice of high-quality fats (nuts, seeds, avocados, olive oil, fatty fish), carbohydrates (whole grains, fruit, starchy root veg­etables), and plant- or animal-based protein (legumes, soy, fish, lean sustainably raised meat, poultry, eggs, dairy).”

If you really want to turn the wheels of time, Siemens has been consistently involved in corruption in Greece since the 1920s. Governments and political alignments change. The constant factor is the bribing company.

Also, FYI, the 2004 admission by finance minister Alogoskoufis was a total joke. Sadly for Greece, world politics is not the right place for this kind of jokes.

The newly elected at the time ND government wanted an excuse to get a carte blanche to apply their financial agenda, so they invented one: Alogoskoufis ordered a retrospective "audit" where they switched from the standard Eurostat practice of budgeting defense contracts at the time of delivery to budgeting them at the time of signing [1].

This essentially shifted future expenses (many of them payable during his mandate) to the past, in order to make the previous PASOK administration appear disingenuous. Alogoskoufis essentially brought the country to world disrepute, so they could score a few cheap political points internally. And he was naive (stupid?) enough to believe that this would somehow only affect his political opponents and not the whole country [2].

You don't know that--it's possible (and in my experience this is the more likely cause) that they are not thinking enough on the abstract to recognize patterns across situations, which is why they keep making the same mistakes.

The best professionals I've ever worked with don't even bother making this artificial distinction between professional practice and the academe, and instead continue to educate themselves even as they get farther in their careers. Professionals who are incapable of elevating their practice into theory are just as devoid of knowledge as academics who don't put their theory into practice. We need to stop glorifying this notion of "pure" professionals just as people are skeptical of "pure" academics--otherwise this is just letting anti-intellectualism creep in on HN.
Not completely free of charge. The deal was that they had to carry the US mail at a rate that was beneficial to the US government and less than beneficial to the railroads. That added up over a few decades. The railroads bought themselves out of that part of the deal during World War II, when the government was eager to take short-term money even if it was long-term a bad idea.

I've seen one set of calculations that the railroads lost quite a bit of money on the deal. It's been decades since I saw it, though, so I can't give you specifics.

I’m also anti-union but what’s going on here seems like typical union negotiation tactics.

One side wants something. However, they have no leverage. Accordingly, they make a claim and see if the public will back it up. If so, you now have a token to trade at the bargaining table that you never actually intended to play. If the public isn’t on your side, you just say you’ve learned from the public’s opinion.

Yea know this lobbying effort just screams lawsuit by incompetence.

Anyway, as a person w a controls background and system automation, this is a total cluster fvck w out a major investment in sensors and UX redesign.

> Ironically, the drama over this paper is now putting funding for the other audits at risk, however - as who wants to fund a project with a bunch of loud infosec folks declaring it shit?

I'm not familiar with how the funding here works - can you describe the process by which audits would be abandoned as a result of internet commentary? Who is threatening to withhold funding for future audits? From my outsider's perspective, that would seem like _incredibly_ poor decision-making on behalf of the Matrix folks.
The railroads were sure funded by public money, but it most certainly has not been taxpayer money. Instead, it was money invested by private individuals. Government did help the railroads with vast grants of lands, but most of the value of the granted land stemmed from the railroads that were built nearby. It was in fact a great deal for taxpayers, a win-win situation.

> One wonders what the US's rail infrastructure would look like had the US Government bought (and continued to operate) it outright,

US federal government certainly is not known for providing high quality service at low cost, quite the opposite in fact.
I'm pretty sure government officials still have to pay taxes too

So out of all "that so far isn't identified", there are just two classes of things: (i) biological and psychological processes; and (ii) metaphysics. This is some magic voodoo hand-waving here. Metaphysics seems to be just your way of saying "everything we don't know or understand".

Beware old fakes: My family has an apparent 1st edition of sir Walter Scott's "peveril of the peak" which in principle is worth serious money, despite being in poor condition. It's printed publication date on the colophon is not the same as the recognised first edition dates in the copyright library catalogue in Edinburgh and we're told it's a Dutch or American reprint, they stole IPR all the time. (It's a year earlier, from memory. I guess it's an attempt to twist the law)

Can you give any good examples?

Surely there are some people that advertise their projects as fast but actually aren't, or at least aren't in some cases, whether they be written in Rust or anything else. (Even in ripgrep's case, of which I have published benchmarks, GNU grep is still sometimes faster.) But are there any substantial programs with such false advertising? It's hard to qualify what "substantial" means, but perhaps one could start with "is available in Debian" as a starting point.

Although it seems you aren't necessarily complaining about false advertising, but rather, missing benchmarks. Most programs, regardless of advertising, don't publish carefully curated benchmarks. I myself have advertised Rust's regex crate as "fast" (albeit not "blazingly fast," I am not one for such flowery language), but I have never published any benchmarks. Of course, benchmarks exist and others can run them, but they are more for internal development than public consumption.

Much benchmarking proceeds by an ad hoc nature. I'm not even aware of such venerable programs as GNU grep published benchmarks either, for example.

To be clear, I agree it would be nice for programs to publish benchmarks, flowery advertising or not. But solid benchmarks are incredibly difficult to do. Have you ever published any? It takes enormous effort. Yet, I would excuse the words "blazingly fast" if at least some ad hoc benchmarks were run and at least some people are able to reproduce them, at least in common cases.

I think my bottom line here is that you seem to be complaining about a pattern, but I'm not entirely sure it is warranted.
World map showing the spread of plug types
No. Just no. The amount of times I've had issues with CSVs exported from a non-US locale is insane. They use semi-colon as separator, as for some weird reason they use the comma as the decimal point.

Then there's the issue of encoding, as that is also not the same across locales. Then you get a CSV with the BOM characters up front or some French accents represented as ? because of incorrect encoding parsing / saving.

At least JSON doesn't have any of these things. Standardized strings, and standardized number format.

Using Suspended Thread Injection to Bypass Detection
A lot of eu countries have a threshold of how much you can pay in cash, and it works just fine. No one is missing hospital treatment because of it and even illiterate folks can use banks and open accounts.
In a pretty straight-forward way. All their insane demands about how far everything has to be from their rights of way in California's Central Valley is bloating up the cost of the passenger rail project. Ordinary road crossings, instead of having normal dimensions, are all 26 feet above the tops of the rails and have 100 foot clear spans. The "intrusion barrier"—a huge wall between adjacent freight and passenger tracks—is unprecedented anywhere in the world, even in places with shared corridors like France, Germany, and Sweden, and it costs an absolute fortune. Imagine a wall hundreds of miles long and strong enough to deflect a train.

That's on top of the other things that UPRR does, like preventing any semblance of reasonable service between the Bay Area and Sacramento.

My proposal is quite simple. Spin off virtually all of the UPRR into a new operating company with the same name and almost all of the capital assets, but retain the rights of way under Not A Bunch Of Dicks Track Corporation.
Socioeconomic business logic is up for constant debate, as is when unconventional implementations are warranted.

Having to edit a flat file for access control is absurd, perhaps 2 decades ago when it was common sure but everyone figured out how to do it without, also it's not really at that much scale when every other database implementation makes

Postgres still lacks basically everything that other replication implementations do, if they have to mention log shipping by rsync etc they've already got it wrong.

For clarity they only recently figured out "streaming" replication which again, is what everyone else has been doing for years.
