> I'd be interested to know if any US cities have deeper tunnels The downtown portions of Chicago's Blue Line[1] and Red Line[2] were primarily dug using tunnel boring machines in …

It does if you click on one of the graphs at that point.

I used to do this and then stopped once I switched to Linux where selecting text put it on a clipboard automatically. I suspect it's related to some patterns when reading books, li…

Nice find. From some other quick research, if there is a violation, you have to report it to Visa via phone or mail. Looks like they used to have an online form a several years ago…

Got a citation on this? I'd love for it to be true, since it'll save me a lot of effort. But WSJ, for instance, requires you to cancel via phone even if you sign up online.

It's there now (with a timestamp of 2 hours ago), but /r/google isn't what I would consider a good barometer of what's important or popular news. It's larger than I expected at ~77…

Vehicle and person hits cause exceptional delays, but not significantly more so than the string of breakdowns in February. They apologized for this, and seem to have fewer rush hou…

Faster acceleration. Each stop will cost less time, and Caltrain has a surprising amount of stops between SF-SJ (22 weekday) for its length (47 miles). You can see this effect alre…

What I perceive as the good bits of BART could be replicated on Caltrain with much less effort than replacing Caltrain with BART: the off-peak timetable. Caltrain does better for l…

Some don't, and it can make sense. If you rent it out, then you have to be a landlord, which puts you on the hook for repairs, finding tenants, and collecting rent or evicting them…

Previously on his blog: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2010/03/usb_combinati... I thought it was interesting how the tone changed on Schneier's blog.

Many of the "baby bullet" trains are slowed down by other trains on a daily basis. Some stations only get one stop per hour, even during rush hour, so those trains are overcrowded …

Burlingame and Menlo Park are both restricted by street crossings on both sides of the station, not to mention that many stops are limited by platform length. I'm not sure if it wo…

We did use it for various mechmania sessions as the game communication port. During my time, we also had a running joke that in our "spare time", we would implement a telnet server…

It does, and feeds into the same stats database. Unfortunately I can't seem to get to caffeine.acm. I'm unsure how that works these days, since a lot of things were redesigned afte…

The only time we exploded cans was by freezing or loading incorrectly. Occasionally we had the solenoids fail to fire, but that was solved easily by sshing into the soda machine an…

Sadly, the old Dr. Pepper machine bit the dust around Spring 2010. It decided to freeze sodas more often than we liked, so we replaced it with a Coke machine in Fall 2010. It was a…
