Bullet Trains and Intermodal Express Traveling

In Bullet Trains are Coming I have compared our fast solvers, combining advanced mathematical schemes and high-performance-computing technology, with the speed-trains.
Fast or super fast?

Bullet Trains are Coming

I read in Wired Feb-10 . After decades of false starts, planners are finally beginning to make headway on what could become the largest, most complicated infrastructure project ever attempted in the US. Technically, Speed-Trains are high-voltage rockets. Fast Train History leads to TGV with a speed record of 357 MPH.

wyNiwyg

Remember, what you see is what you get - wySiwyg? In short, users visualize what they are producing.

What you Need is what you get? Users declare what they are computing?

Minimalism

Our ear anatomy is minimalist in the following sense: less complexity and it could not transform sound-waves into enough information for our brain, more complexity and we would only recognize noise.
This kind of minimalism is also required in modeling financial instruments ( as outlined in When Good ENUF is Great ) to receive enough reliable information to supporting deal decisions.

Rumors Come To Light

"Apple tablet computers", rumors come to light in high frequency now. I will like them.

If UnRisk was a Glass


it was most probably a Zalto glass. From the first touch, each glass distinguishes from other glasses. Technical perfection is the basic principle. The glasses are not only about design. They are produced in the tradition of glassblowing of Venice, but without addition of lead oxide they are resistant against clouding. Despite its feather-light weight they maintain the best attributes of a modern glass: they may be washed in a dishwasher and are surprisingly break-proof.
I have most of them and I confirm.

Is A Pilsner Still A Pilsner?

Like many other breweries, Plensky Prazdroj is now brewing under the umbrella of a large international brewing empire. This post is not about beer. But about technology, market dynamics and dependences.

Me talking to Myself in the Future

this latest piece of the Canadian performance artist Marie Brassard inspired me to look playfully at the past from a future perspective.
