  • Rail is required below Vyšehrad, or else Prague's transport gets severely crippled.

    Now the corridor desperately needs a third rail. The main question right now is whether to:

    • upgrade the bridge, whose longetivity is dubious (studies vary wildly by how much needs to be replaced within 20 years), or
    • dismantle and move the bridge to a place where a cycle/pedestrian one is needed and build a similar-looking but modern one, which would easily last over 100 more years. This is potentially more expensive and UNESCO doesn't like the panorama to be messed with.
  • I'm wondering what it would be like to keep the metabolism of a brain-dead organism going and controlling it via the nervous system, thereby creating a cyborg (but in reverse as opposed to most sci-fi ones).

    Like, imagine an irrecoverable comatose patient whose every speech-related nerve is tapped. Using machine learning, one could create a neural network that maps all muscle movements to sounds and vice versa. The setup could then play any waveform to just about the best of the vocal tract's ability – in short, turning the body into a peak beatboxer. (With multiple such cyborgs or a looper, one could achieve arbitrary precision at recreating sound waves! There can be actual uses too, like letting paralyzed people speak again, but I all can think of is whether the paper of this research ends up using Bad Apple!! or Never Gonna Give You Up as the demo song, and whether there's going to be an acapella band touring with effectively propped-up corpses.)

  • The vision is only explained near the bottom, obviously:

    Coming from very different positions, the two women are co-executive directors of A Land for All, which since 2012 has promoted “two sovereign states — Israel and Palestine — in one shared homeland.”

    Rather than divide Palestine into two wholly separate countries, A Land for All calls for shared responsibility for resources like water systems, electricity and public health. But two independent states would exist, with “recognized borders, right for self-determination, equal rights, and security for both peoples.”

    People would be free to travel across both states and to live in either one; Israelis could live in Palestine, and Palestinians in Israel. Jerusalem would be the capital of both states, and freely accessible to both peoples. Their justice systems would “include recognition and compensation for past wrongs — without creating new ones.”

    That sounds very naïve – there are too many religious extremists on either side.
