They already run trains on/along this segment, as the high speed rail was largely built alongside the existing freight rails that Amtrak already runs on (routes that CA already subsidizes for 25 cents per person per mile just to operate the trains on the existing tracks). The main difference is the high speed rail having to avoid at-grade crossings so much of it built as a long bridge above street crossings.

Comment Ironic coming from Sony (Score 1) 152

The only company that has trailers on 4K blu ray discs that play upon disc insertion is Sony. Every other company respects that itâ(TM)s a premium product and the storage capacity should be dedicated to the movie. Sony needs to do better before criticizing others about pre-movie trailers.

Comment Nobody produces PC blu ray drives anymore (Score 1) 41

Pioneer sold off their division months ago to a company that just wanted the patents. I am fairly sure LG and ASUS also stopped. The folks who use makemkv have been buying up the last drives that can handle UHD discs (native or with a firmware mod).

The standalone blu ray player market has a shrinking set of model options and also no new 4k options for the last few years.

Comment Re: 15,000 engineers? (Score 2) 48

I donâ(TM)t think they need any engineers. Each year they use their marketing department and Dreamforce conference to find a new way to rebrand and repackage their existing products as something new, including the use of fabricated demos of features and products that donâ(TM)t exist and likely never will.

Comment Bullshit (Score 1) 168

Costco intentionally moves products around, so anythong besides the bakery and butcher wonâ(TM)t consistently be in the same spot.

As for courtesy, that applies in the Pacific Northwest (where Costco actually startedâ"donâ(TM)t give me the bullshit about LA since thatâ(TM)s about Price Club that merged with Costco), but not in the bat area where ironically all the people from crowded countries like China and India block the isles.

The growth of Kirkland Signature isnâ(TM)t a good thing. It reflects how Costco has progressively replaces name brand products with their own house brand.

Comment Nobody wants 3+ hours in your sacred space (Score 1) 66

A 3+ hour movie is designed for home watching. Itâ(TM)s tough enough for 2 hours. Either shorten the movie or bring back intermission, and put the trailers back at the end. It takes more than cushy seats and seat assignments to provide a premium experience for the premium price â" we already get those 2 perks at home.

Comment How to Make Rust Grow (Score 0) 80

The easiest way to have growth is come up with a way to get the benefits of Rust without unnecessarily diverging from C/C++ so much. The answer isnâ(TM)t Rust, but probably yet another language or a âsafeâ(TM) subset of C/C++.

For âoeRust's design goalâ weâ(TM)re well aware of the one that says to take a less ideal aspect of C/C++ and do the opposite design decision, even if the âcureâ(TM) is worse than the âdiseaseâ(TM). This is what makes Rust a nonstarter for many and documentation wonâ(TM)t fix it.

The CA DMV driver manual states that a car must stop/yield when a pedestrian is any part of the sidewalk (with an exception for divided streets), but Iâ(TM)ve never found any part the CVC (California Vehicle Code) that states this.

Waymo lets people book pickups and drop-offs in areas that are marked âoeNo Stopping Any Timeâ, and thereâ(TM)s lots of other ways that Waymoâ(TM)s driving doesnâ(TM)t set a good example for other drivers to reference.

The moment they had a CEO position they should have seen they were no longer what they stood for.

LOL you don't have a clue about your history. CEO is nothing more than a leader. ... Find a better attribution.

Their CEO is "nothing more than a leader " who makes over $350K, so there's the attribution that they've lost their way.
