One of the owners of my company moved to France for a few years. Which was important because if he stayed in the US he would have had to get an outside job instead of working for the company. That would have been bad. It was all because chi

If you assume rice is 600 calories per kg. And an average need of 2000 cal/day-person. 2,000,000 people in Gaza, and a truck can carry 35,000 kg. Need about 2X10^6 X 2000 = 4X10^9 calories as day. At 600 cal/kg you need then 6.67

One of the advantages of running the line along the HWY99 corridor is that's also next to the existing rail which has a lot of at grade crossing. Much of the work is building separated grade crossings for both high speed rail and the f

Usually I let stuff like this go but why don't you be actually specific about what you think is wrong. Because anyone can stay something is terrible without explanation.

It's kinda impressive if you search for news articles on California's high speed rail there is a doomy article every other day going back more than a decade.

Anyone else read this and think the press is why America can't have nice things anymore. It's like the 'it might work for us' meme in reverse. Every developed nation in the world does X and it works fine. But it probably

I think the answer is called reversion to the mean. As in a bunch of factors go into how nasty a virus is based on which and how it infects cells and how it manages to suppress the immune system, etc. Particular substrains can be more or le

There are multiple types of capitalism. What's afflicting us is rentier capitalism which is the type commonly associated with slumlords. If you think everything is being run by and for slumlords, the last 40 years makes total sense.
