    Elon Musk lives here, in Southern California, where the population is incredibly sprawled. Public transportation is almost useless here. Buses run late and are somewhat dangerous, …

    Problem is, the only trains here in Southern California go in the L.A. → San Diego direction. I would love if the 91 had a railway running in parallel, but unfortunately that doesn…

    That's incorrect. RAID is a system build on top of hard drives for redundancy. Redundancy (for this use of the word) is simply duplication across multiple hard-drives, which doesn'…
