He is right in the sense that building the tram lines was lack of vision for the future. After a certain size, cities need public transportation in a dedicated lane. But a metro line doesn't replace a tram line. They complement each other. Trains, trams, brt, bus and micro-mobility complement each other in commuting.

The best time to build the metro was 100 years ago. The second best time is now. If musk's boring company can build metro lines, so be it. Shit like las vega's loop isn't an alternative to anything.

We started a war with Iraq (which had nothing to do with Osama Bin Laden, a Saudi Arabian), and after ousting their leader, we turned our attention to hunting down Osama hiding in Afghanistan with the Taliban.

It was the other way around. Afghanistan first. After routing the talibans Bush turned to Iraq

The problem isn't the snow. The problem is the ice. If the roads aren't cleaned and snows, the problem is the cold but sunny days. It creates ice. Now this is dangerous. But if you have studded tires and ride slow there should be no problem.

probably a mix of both.

From perplexity because i'm lazy:

The core difference is that eMule uses a persistent, pairwise “credit” score that carries over across files and sessions, while BitTorrent uses a short‑term, per‑swarm “tit‑for‑tat” mechanism with no lasting credit between peers

EDIT: Also emule has a block size of 9Mib while bt has a 512kb which at the time (let's say 2005) was too ambitious for the speeds the users had at home. The 9MiB block is now ok :-)
