+2012-06-19.txt:21:49:14: <lexande> because the territory of the TRNC is legally also "in the EU" and under the EU treaties Cyprus can't interfere too much with the free movement of labour and capital "within the EU"

+2012-08-20.txt:03:01:13: <lexande> Hexham has some other things than that
+2012-08-20.txt:03:01:26: <lexande> for one thing it has better low-speed trains than most places in america
+2012-08-20.txt:03:01:54: <lexande> and it has the tyne which is kind of nice
+2012-08-20.txt:03:02:06: <lexande> and some bits of hadrian's wall nearby?
+2012-08-20.txt:03:03:18: <lexande> preempting isn't the only problem
+2012-08-20.txt:03:03:29: <pikhq> lexande: No, but it does add to the suck.
+2012-08-20.txt:03:03:30: <lexande> yeah the regulations are written to keep freight costs down
+2012-08-20.txt:03:03:48: <lexande> which has the effect of making passenger rail costs much higher
+2012-08-20.txt:03:03:58: <lexande> (for example by requiring all passenger trains to be built like tanks)
+2012-08-20.txt:03:04:43: <lexande> well there is to some degree a genuine conflict of interest
+2012-08-20.txt:03:05:17: <lexande> in europe all the freight trains are connected to the electronic signalling systems that can automatically make them stop if they might collide with another train
+2012-08-20.txt:03:05:31: <lexande> which is extra equipment on all the freight trains
+2012-08-20.txt:03:06:07: <lexande> in america the freight railroads have to pinch every penny to compete with trucking as well as they do
+2012-08-20.txt:03:06:16: <lexande> and so resist having such equipment required
+2012-08-20.txt:03:06:37: <lexande> which means collisions are much more likely and regulations applied to passenger rail have to take that into account
+2012-08-20.txt:03:06:50: <lexande> though even in light of that a lot of the regulations are just dumb, and/or 1950s holdovers
+2012-08-20.txt:03:16:00: <lexande> yes
+2012-08-20.txt:03:16:06: <lexande> that is one of many reasons not to have a car

+2012-08-21.txt:21:59:36: <lexande> "is" is not an equivalence relation
+2012-08-21.txt:22:00:39: <lexande> "is" is a partial order

+2012-09-02.txt:04:45:03: <lexande_> kmc, no the first frequent flyer programs were post-deregulation
+2012-09-02.txt:04:48:46: <lexande_> when the airlines had government-granted monopolies on many routes it was not so necessary for them to go out of their way to incentivise customer loyalty
+2012-09-02.txt:04:52:40: <lexande_> they did have other backdoor mechanisms back in the day, mostly in the form of inflight product
+2012-09-02.txt:04:53:38: <lexande_> also those little houses you still get on KLM business class, because they weren't allowed to give customers "gifts" but they were allowed to give customers free alcohol
+2012-09-02.txt:04:54:13: <lexande_> i guess those aren't really backdoor mechanisms, just competing on other things
+2012-09-02.txt:05:18:04: <lexande_> the least fixed point is a great prophet but not my messiah
+2012-09-02.txt:05:35:43: <lexande_> one of those three freight trains a day, for the benefit of which CAHSR is going to spend many billions more than otherwise necessary
+2012-09-02.txt:05:47:48: <lexande_> also because there isn't all that much freight moving by rail east of the hudson
+2012-09-02.txt:05:51:41: <lexande_> well, especially not northeast of boston, which is the only place they'd be going if passing through downtown cambridge

+2012-09-07.txt:20:21:46: <lexande_> today i went to a talk where the speaker kept prefacing his theorems with "If ZFC is consistent, then"
+2012-09-07.txt:20:21:56: <lexande_> people made fun of him for this a bit
+2012-09-07.txt:20:25:13: <zzo38> pikhq: Yes I know that too; I was refering to lexande_'s message about the speaker who kept prefacing his theorems with "If ZFC is consistent, then"
+2012-09-07.txt:20:26:49: <lexande_> zzo38, the theorems were like, if ZFC is consistent then there is a model of a multiverse of forcing with these properties
+2012-09-07.txt:20:27:10: <lexande_> Taneb, ZFC is just the usual axioms of set theory/maths, including Choice
+2012-09-07.txt:20:27:12: <zzo38> lexande_: O, OK. So that's why he did that.
