I see what you're saying, and I think that's why more cargo is moving by rail in Asia. If it was sold as a premium service it might work, but I have no idea how big that market really is when you are talking about crossing whole o

Note that they're not talking about two separate props on separate shafts, they're talking about 2 props rotating in opposite directions on the same shaft. Many ships don't have a 1:1 ratio between propellors and engines anyw

Someone had to keep us honest! Fun work, I would have stayed longer but I moved to another area for family reasons.

Hydrofoils are generally higher drag at low speed, they only make sense when you want to go faster than displacement speed. That doesn't make sense for most cargo, anything time sensitive is going by air.

As someone that has designed (military) ships, here are my thoughts. - LNG is definitely happening, and that alone will make a massive difference in emissions. - No shit smoother bottoms and bulbous bows are better for efficiency, that&#x27

The endpoint that resolves GraphQL requests scales horizontally, so the answer is likely a high number. I think what you're really getting at it is how many different GraphQL schemas are there? In general I would expect the answer to b

Aren't they contractually obligated to comply with CTS / VTS in order to get the Google Play stuff? The Chinese OEMs and Amazon Fire line opt-out, but pretty much the rest of the Android ecosystem opts in.

Just rhetorically, if it's the response to your concern every time you write a post, then you need to incorporate why it's not a solution in your original post. I assumed you hadn't heard of Treble and was just about to point

"One possibility is that we have a shortage of programmers. If that’s the case, you’d expect more programmers to enter the field, bringing down compensation." This is true. I was a mechanical engineer professionally. I moved into

There's a massive amount of "driving through" Manhattan. People in Queens / Brooklyn / Long Island heading anywhere west of Manhattan can be a cause of through traffic. The entire point of congestion pricing is to s

It's foolish to count driving to the train station in CT. Any time the traffic is minimal into NYC, the parking at train stations is also empty. Really everything you cited is fairly naive for getting into and out of the city. Parking

Both of those are bids, not projects for which the Boring Company has been selected.

Why do you think cost per mile would be cheaper than the subway? With CBTC (existing technology, though not rolled out to most of the subway) and intrusion detection, we don't need any labor on a subway. What's less expensive to m

Plenty of people that had no intention to kill someone end up in jail for homicide after they do something that they didn't believe was going to kill the other party. SWATing wouldn't be a threat if there wasn't some (small)

Leaving aside the actual project at hand, this is a great example of a well thought out project plan. There is a clear rationale, clear end state, a bunch of known problems to tackle, a front loading of risk, and it delivers incremental val

That's a complete misreading of Amazon. Their entire competitive advantage is having really cheap capital which enables unbelievable capital investment. First it was in distribution centers (3PL), then servers (AWS), and next likely be

Reading the raw accident report, I draw the opposite conclusion. The sequence of events that led to the accident started with one person controlling both steering & throttle. The reason for splitting responsibility is that the original

What city in the US has a subway system worth bragging about? Philly's subway has 3% of the ridership of NYC's. It's not even in the same ballpark.

I actually think this is the wrong approach. You don't get to reap any benefits until you start eliminating the old system, and with the parallel approach you defer that cleanup period until the transition is complete. It'd be far

Think through the 3% bit a little bit. Do you think that the banks charge 3% because their settlement software is that much less efficient than a blockchain? Of course not. You're paying for customer service, marketing, fraud protectio

Good luck building the "economy of the future" without the US banking system. There is a reason banking sanctions are the US's most powerful non-military diplomatic tool.

Redfin does more to move in that direction than other listing websites such as Trulia. Redfin is the actual broker on your side of the sale, and they take a smaller cut than most other brokers. The reason it's not cheaper is that few b

In addition to the obvious political angle, it's nice to see an engineer talking about their duty to the populace. Software engineers hand waive this off because we generally aren't building things that can kill people. We are how

I've seen flights from NY->SFO for less than the cost of a night in a Silicon Valley hotel. I don't think it's optimal though.

The Air Force and Navy definitely crank down their service numbers during "peace" time to invest in weapons systems instead. The lead time on ships & planes is so much longer than sailors & airmen through bootcamp that it

The northeast corridor is faster than flying. The trains stop in the downtown of each city which cuts out the travel time to and from the airport, and you don't have to arrive at the train station as early before boarding. The ticket p
