to save everybody else the time: it is 250 miles (~400km) from st louis to kansas city so the crh3c, the 350km/hr train on the shanghai-to-beijing bullet service, ought to be able to do this trip in about 80 minutes including acceleration, and is actual existing technology you can just buy from siemens

im pretty sure the last new passenger train service built in missouri is the little street-level tram in kansas city to take people from the parking garage at union station to the bars in the power and lights district a short distance away and thats probably all it will ever be able to do

Notorious b.s.d. posted:one of the problems developing rail routes is that you don't necessarily know what demand exists until the route is already built and people get to experiment with it why on earth would the ticket price for a line clear across Missouri be $10 absent massive subsidies Missouri would never have

There's no loyalty in tech. we’re also too feckless to really try; given the impact on an organization devs have “Waah waah my boss is abusing me” is getting old but also there’s India, Eastern Europe, and an entire ecosystem of contract labor, and yes, some of my H-1B coworkers don’t wanna work for MS because such and such sociopathic manager can terminate them at any time and they have weeks to find a job before heading back. Drump ain’t helping, either

It’s a landmark designed to be Space Needle levels of iconic, but also essentially private to Amazons and other pre-arranged private groups. their campus is built in a former warehouse district with bad traffic to begin with, but add in a mess of office towers... and of course there’s this https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/puget-sounds-homeless-crisis-pushes-911-beyond-its-design/ Just-In-Timeberlake posted:so do the men with shockrods show up if a warehouse worker tries to get in? that’s what Knightscopes are for, why waste human capital?

The Space Needle is also in a fairly large park with other attractions and activities nearby and is visible from many places in the city. Bezos' Balls are crammed downtown in between two Amazon skyscrapers and a strip club.

more on amazon,that fashy panopticon job grovel thing is being normalized i applied for a job at Ping Identity (no qualms about calling them out) and the first step was a purposely un-completable skills assessment in which I had to be on camera the whole time as their AI algorithms deduced my stress levels and nonverbal communication I, of course, noped the gently caress out of that one.

That wristband will be connected to a TENS unit that only allows you to grasp the correct item and punches you in the genitals if you veer too far from the track or slow down. Also good on ya. gently caress cameras in an interview.
