I'm saying the numbers are so astronomically off that there is no viable path to profit without public subsidy, for any theoretical future system, big or small.

In the US, "public transportation" means "transportation system owned by the public". This is opposed to "private transportation", which is owned by private entities. All tranport systems are available for use

This was possible because cities weren't as developed as they are now. Property was cheap back then. These days, the major expense of building a mass transit system is just buying property. And in cities, these properties are going to

It's not anywhere close to self-funding a real public transport system. How do they expect to make money as a private enterprise if these are the numbers they propose? Public transportation is supposed to lose money, not make it, hence

At the root is narcissism. Narcissism blocks profound insight, and rewards anti-social behavior.

Die size is ridiculous, causing such high prices due to exponential costs associated with die size. It seems like an opening for AMD to use their EPYC Infinity Fabric interconnect for their next-gen GPUs in multi-chip modules with smaller d

So, in tech, do people not go to strip clubs anymore? Like, what's the culture now? Are all interpersonal relationships now formalized into an algorithm? Do people not get into actual fistfights at the office anymore?

Not if you're one of the many people that don't pay taxes! (retirees, children, the poor, etc..)

You're making the mistake of thinking that Alex Jones and his followers are rational and good-faith actors - a pre-requisite for debate. The best thing to do is just silence their voices; no ifs, ands, or buts. Remember, these people a

OK I get that booster reuse cuts down costs, but the fact is the 2nd stage is still not reused, which limits the economic benefits needed to open new markets. We get a 50% reduction in costs, instead of the 95% reduction in costs. You can

And this is how you cause an economy to collapse, by raising inflation. The market doesn’t know what’s good for it. It’s only interest is the immediate short term.

OSHA has largely supplanted union safety regulations but the real issue killing this work is just workforce education. We spend thousands to pay for 12 years of public education for each student to teach them things like Calculus and Geopol

How would you build an order-processing & accounting system with only SOLR/Elasticsearch? Can you guarantee data reliability?

Tru dat. Interpolation will probably be too difficult in 4-D space.

No, you also need an ancient alien race to have created a reactor that can free the air which can be activated after pressing the button at the top of the elevator platform, but only if you can get past Cohaagen's goons, perhaps using

Which is why I said you need to distribute the rays around randomly in a gaussian distribution. Don't just arrange them in perfect rows and columns - that's the worst array option that guarantees aliasing. You can shift each pixe

Yes the problem with light-field displays (and cameras) is that they do need massive bandwidths. But there are ways to mitigate it somewhat. It's possible to have a gaussian or random distribution of light rays so that you end up with

It's Facebook's editorial policy to allow hate speech. It has nothing to do with not limiting "free speech". They allow it because it expands their audience. Facebook isn't government. It can do what it wishes, incl

This is the kind of argument that makes people more dependent on Facebook. The best way to fight Facebook's monopoly is to just get people off of it and let them form their own independent social networking strategies. You are basicall
