A quotation from Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Categorizing is necessary for humans, but it becomes pathological when the category is seen as definitive, preventing people from considering the fuzziness of boundaries, let alone revising their categories.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb (b. 1960) Lebanese-American essayist, statistician, risk analyst, aphorist
The Black Swan, Part 1, ch. 1 “The Apprenticeship of an Empirical Skeptic” (2007)

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

   It is not possible to lay down an inflexible rule as to when compromise is right and when wrong; when it is a sign of the highest statesmanship to temporize, and when it is merely a proof of weakness. Now and then one can stand uncompromisingly for a naked principle and force people up to it. This is always the attractive course; but in certain great crises it may be a very wrong course. Compromise, in the proper sense, merely means agreement; in the proper sense opportunism should merely mean doing the best possible with actual conditions as they exist.
   A compromise which results in a half-step toward evil is all wrong, just as the opportunist who saves himself for the moment by adopting a policy which is fraught with future disaster is all wrong; but no less wrong is the attitude of those who will not come to an agreement through which, or will not follow the course by which, it is alone possible to accomplish practical results for good.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
Essay (1900-06), “Latitude and Longitude Among Reformers,” The Century Magazine, Vol. 60, No. 2

After a Slow Start, High-Speed Rail Might Finally Arrive in America http://dlvr.it/TJwKBv #Amtrak #Brightline #HighSpeedRail #RailNews

The state of high-speed rail in the U.S., as told by the New York Times.

#Texas #Cascadia #Brightline #California

The reality: the only true HSR is the Acela, which tops out at 150 mph. That's just barely high-speed by international standards.

パームビーチ・ガーデンズで #Brightline の列車と車両が衝突し、運転手に軽傷を負わせました。これは8月以来、北パームビーチ郡で発生した3回目の #Brightline 事故であり、バーンズ・ロードとオルタネートA1Aでの2回目の事故です。 #Brightline の列車は、人や車両を遠ざける自然の障壁がほとんどないフロリダ・イースト・コースト鉄道の線路を使用しています。警察は現場をクリアし、道路は開通しました。運転手の身元や衝突時の列車の速度はすぐに明らかになりませんでした。車両は軽度の損傷を受けました。この事故は、2018年に鉄道サービスが開始されて以来、郡内で発生した多数の衝突事故の1つです。鉄道会社と当局は、線路から離れるよう人々に警告し、接近する列車に注意するよう警告するためのプログラムに数百万ドルを費やしてきました。先月、 #Brightline の列車とデルレイビーチの消防車が衝突し、15人が負傷しました。この事故を受けて、複数の調査が行われています。8月には、北郡で2台の車が #Brightline の列車と衝突し、いずれも死亡事故となりました。 #Brightline

#Brightline vs. Drehleiter in Delray Beach, FL

Siemens Charger sieht von vorne gut verdrückt aus. Das Cockpit scheint's aber gut überstanden zu haben

Bin gespannt auf die Dashcam Footage. - Angeblich soll der Fahrer der Drehleiter einen Güterzug abgewartet haben & dann die gesenkten Schranken umfahren haben

Auf X scheint irgendwie im Wesentlichen #Brightline geblamed zu werden, weil sie wohl die höchste Unfallrate in den USA haben (...weil Menschen in Florida wohl nen💩auf Bahnübergänge geben)
