Early AC electrification systems in the US were typically 25Hz, not 16.7Hz. Parts of the northeast corridor still use 25Hz electrification.

Except they did. Prop 1A does specifically mentions the corridors that need to be built, including the cities that need to be served in section 2704.04 subsection (b)(3).

> Since then crime in SF has absolutely exploded. This is sort of misleading. Burglaries, motor vehicle thefts, and homicides went up, but all other crimes went down. Specifically …

I feel like the simpler explanation here is that these movies did not have a coherent story and had poor character development, not that they were the victims of "being too woke" o…

I'm not sure how section 230 bypasses due process. If a social media site removes something you posted, your first amendment rights have not been violated. The first amendment only…

It's flown a total of 3 times, including the demo flight. Besides the demo it's flown one commercial payload and one flight for the DoD.

Since the atmosphere of Mars is 1% the pressure of Earth's, even very high velocity wind would have little energy behind it.

GORM is nice for beginners because it's pretty easy to get started with, but in my experience starts to fall apart when you need to do anything more complex or start to scale up. I…

130 Republicans in the House voted to overturn two states' election results, not to mention he has an undeniable popular following. I seriously doubt he would have trouble with fin…

Depending on how long your commute is, Amtrak could run you $500/month for a monthly pass.

> > California is building a high speed rail line. > Allegedly. Not allegedly, it's actually being built right now. 119 miles of it in fact. It's not the whole system, but it's the…

In terms of hardware, they're running on AMD x86 CPUs. AFAIK there isn't anything special about them, other than having a wider memory bus (they use GDDR5 as opposed to DDR4).

And the current estimated cost of that hsr system exceeds the estimated cost of the entire 520 mi (840 km) phase 1 system in California. Imagine scaling the cost of a similar desig…

If you count Gilroy as close to Santa Cruz and Monterrey, then sure. But the planned line does take a hard east turn through the Pacheco pass into the central valley south of Gilro…

That's because they mostly avoided mountains on their high speed routes. The Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen mostly follow the coastline and the Tohoku Shinkansen mostly goes through …

Unless you wanted to build an HSR line through a long coastal mountain range most of way from SF to LA further driving up the cost, having it go the majority of the distance throug…

My university (UC Riverside) does this. I haven't taken that course specifically as it's not required for my major, so I can't speak to any specifics.

The Ryzen 5 1600 and 1600x have two CCX modules with 3 cores each (one core disabled on each CCX). So it wouldn't be impossible for AMD to make a 14 core part.

Thunderbolt 3 ports are closer to PCIe 3.0 x4, not x8. Regardless it won't cause a huge performance hit depending on your workload (about 5-10% slower in gaming benchmarks). But YM…

There's a Windows Phone app. The Windows app is UWP and it looks like it runs on Windows Phone (from the screenshots provided in the Windows Store). For whatever reason it's named …

Wiki2 is a similar idea [1], but keeps the general feel of Wikipedia. IMO, it does a better job of managing media (images, video, etc.) than vanilla Wikipedia. [1] https://en.wiki2…

> Ya sure, landing booster rockets is a way bigger deal than sending men to the Moon. I don’t think anyone is claiming that. They’re both impressive feats in their own right.

> IIRC, onedrive for business originally used sharepoint on the backend Yep, it's still sharepoint on the backend.

I don't think it disables WebRTC, per se. I think uBlock prevents WebRTC applications from leaking your IP. Hangouts still works with WebRTC leaking disabled through uBlock, so tha…
