I know how they work; I was a network engineer at one point in my career. Please show where my statement was wrong; I didn't say VPNs guarantee anonymity; I said not using one guarantees you will not be anonymous

It doesn't. I don't have to have played in the NFL to know when a quarterback makes a shitty pass. It's funny how factoring in cost has absolutely no meaning to you regarding whether or not HSR is feasible 🤦♂️
Bob Anderson (@bob-anderson.bsky.social) reply parent
Ok, you just outed yourself, "assumption" and "hypothesis" are 2 completely different meaning words. Hypotheses are testable; assumptions are not
Bob Anderson (@bob-anderson.bsky.social) reply parent
Another one that gets the "For the 5 billionth time" disclaimer: The U.S. is not Europe nor Spain; the U.S. has way more per capita air and road travelers than Spain. "It works there so it must work here" is not a hypothesis, it's an opinion

I don't need to do anything. CityNerd's "analysis" lacked cost assessments; his only reasoning for "Let's build this" is how long it takes to get from point A to point B via air, rail, and car. No "data" was given other than distances between cities.

- I've been a software engineer for the past 40 years with the last 10 years focusing on data engineering so I'm pretty sure I have some expertise on the topic of data, but feel free to make some more assumptions as counter arguments
Bob Anderson (@bob-anderson.bsky.social) reply parent
- An inherent problem with a system like this is you need to either factor in cost to prevent terrorist attacks, or leave it out and wait for an attack to happen. Both approaches leave out cost estimates. Another omitted data point 3/
Bob Anderson (@bob-anderson.bsky.social) reply parent
- Not once does he mention cost to build the system out, nor a ticket price point which would make enough travelers ditch auto or air, nor the number of expected travelers at that price point, all three of which are needed in order green light the project 2/

I watched the video the week it was released, dipshit; I'm also about as far left as it gets so right off the bat you've made 2 erroneous assumptions. Let's go over the video: - Multiple times he says "I'm using the assumption that...". Assumptions aren't data. Sense a pattern here? 1/

For the 5 billionth time, the US doesn't have the population density to support mass high-speed rail

It's a separate argument. The US has definitely failed with its tax policies; it doesn't change the fact that the US has both a deeply ingrained car culture combined with the most robust air travel infrastructure in the world. It doesn't make sense to spend money on a problem that doesn't exist

U.S. <> Sweden. The there are a number of logistical and cultural hurdles that make it unrealistic in the U.S. First of all, where is all this money going to come from?
Bob Anderson (@bob-anderson.bsky.social) reply parent
Again, the U.S. doesn't have anywhere near the population density to make widespread rail cost effective

Bob Anderson (@bob-anderson.bsky.social) reply parent
I don't know, did you ask the other people if this is what they want?
Bob Anderson (@bob-anderson.bsky.social) reply parent
So because it's good for you we should spend money on it?
Bob Anderson (@bob-anderson.bsky.social) reply parent
I get that it's superior to traditional rail for long distances. It doesn't negate my argument that the US doesn't have the population density to make it cost effective
Bob Anderson (@bob-anderson.bsky.social) reply parent
Come on man, there aren't any maglev systems faster than a 737. Also, it would cost trillions to build this out. Where is the money coming from?
Bob Anderson (@bob-anderson.bsky.social) reply parent
For the 5 billionth time the U.S. doesn't have the population density that China has in order to support widespread high-speed rail

When are you going to fix "Show less like this"? I click that button a dozen times every day when pics of hairy, shirtless guys grabbing their crotch show up on my feed, yet you keep showing this type of content to me. If you need help with this I'm a software engineer currently between jobs...

That map represents every populated place in the country?
Bob Anderson (@bob-anderson.bsky.social) reply parent
Picture all the roads in the country, now duplicate that with rails. Does that make sense?
Bob Anderson (@bob-anderson.bsky.social) reply parent
This is not feasible. You would have to put rails in every populated place in the country.
Bob Anderson (@bob-anderson.bsky.social) reply parent
It's because this country is continually getting dumber and poorer. The dumb and poor are easy to convince that all of their problems are the fault of everyone but the GOP
