One thing i like about google maps vs OSM, is the satellite/aerial imagery. OSM doesn't have it.
Especially when trying to get to a particular place in a park at the beach, or industrial park or shopping center or condo complex or resort etc... often the maps just show the 'lot'. But nobody has filled in all the little details... the buildings, structures, parking lots, pools, fences, water fountains, flower beds, large rocks, gravel area, tennis courts, whatever.
Yeah, much of that could be on the map. But its often not, and landmarks like a little grove of trees or a flower bed, or a water fountain, or an exposed rock... the photo just gives more detail.
Likewise, street-view -- sometimes looking at complex highway connections where there's 4 or 5 highways all meeting; sure the map shows all the exits and ramps and stuff, but its often helpful to see it as an areial photo or street view -- you can see the actual lane markings, dividers, merges, as well as get a better sense of what it's going to look like with the layers of under passes and over passes so you get a better idea of what lane and what rampts you need and what it looks like as you approach. A map... is sometimes just too abstract to be clear enough.
You could probably use Google's satellite/aerial imagery as an overlay on OSM somehow?
With OSMAnd there's a thing you can do to get Google's live traffic as an overlay. I'm not claiming that I understood it but I got it working, lol
Well, they may well have had a gun in the house for all we know, but the cops certainly had guns, and they didn't shoot the kid -- so while he's a minor therefore they're not releasing his name or other details, we do know one thing for sure: he wasn't black, otherwise he'd be dead now.
Interesting. We know that, do we?
So the black incarceration rate is so high because all black suspects have been shot by police? I didn't know we incarcerated corpses.
I know I'll get voted down for this, but to achieve this, you need the town to run the public transport. As long as it's private owned, profit is all they care about, why would they care about congested roads?
Oh yes, the capitalist anti-regulation zeitgeist of/. will totally mod you down for that.
The good news is that once we pry people out of their cars, PRT will actually be realistic. It isn't now because people would rather drive, and you need ridership to make a system of any kind viable.
And there it is.
"City planning" is all about forcing people to do what they don't want to do.
The cost of communication falling has made spamming possible.
I would like some communication platform that charges people sending voice mail, email, regular mail whatever some cash. And share part of the the cash with me.
You're in luck! LinkedIn does do the first half of that; recruiters pretty much have to sign up for a paid account.
... so it's good to panic about unscientific crap when it's about "GMO", but it's bad to panic about unscientific crap when it's something about plastic food in India, and censorship is good if it's about Republicans or Indian plastic food, but bad if it's about anything else...
How dya all keep up with this ever shifting set of rules?
Scientists at the University of Alberta have demonstrated a new data storage technique that stores zeroes and ones by the presence (or absence) of individual hydrogen atoms.
That's kind of a tight tolerance there... not much room for error, ya know...
I doubt that the Amazon Programmers were intending the program to be racially bias, but the fact that the tech sector isn't as diverse as it should be, means lack of experience with living in a homogeneous culture, means factors to help differentiate people are not as well programmed in.
Um... you think the tech sector at places like Amazon isn't "diverse"?
Possibly... we should test this, with Bollywood stars as a control group.
Our current administration has spent every last big of political capitol that the United States had left. No one is afraid of us. We are no longer the biggest dog in the room, and we continue to put our fingers in too many holes in the dyke rather than picking our battles carefully.
Our current administration is the only one in decades to even begin to do the slightest thing to challenge their accumulation of soft power.
... if your actual goal was to make the largest number of people not give a flying $^& what or who you call "racist", you couldn't have chosen a better plan.
(I'm starting to think that is your goal, as you have been working on it for decades now.)
...the same one being deployed against prominent racists to limit their visibility... only conservative Republicans appear to be affected and not liberal Democrats
Hmm, any chance there could be a causal relationship?
Your banning of your political opponents is itself proof that they are magically guilty of your own allegations?
The Dems aren't being Shadow banned because, well, they don't have to use tricks to talk about their message
They don't? Oh boy did you miss 8 years of Obama or something.
This is such a bizarre non-sequitur I just wanted to highlight it as a perfect example of the bizarre world Mashiki lives in. I don't know how logic works there, it seems like saying "Obama" or "her emails" is some kind of rational argument in that universe.
Obama was racially divisive. Dems were fine with that for eight years.
Obama was often openly racially divisive, with his composite imaginary white girlfriend, his "typical" white grandmother, and about a million other things. But now Dems want to ban people because of imaginary dog whistles that only Dems can hear.
You can't see the relevance of the Obama reference because you don't want to see it.

This kid deserves consequences for his actions, but it would've been an injustice if he got his head blown off for this.
It would be unfortunate, but not at all an injustice.
So you're saying that it would have been a better outcome if this teenager had been killed for this non-violent offense?
A home invader?
Can't say I'd shed too many tears over it.
"the real issue is the fact that he entered a house that was occupied."
Had it been unoccupied, of course, that would be totally fine.

No conflicts of interest here. No sir! None whatsoever.

Also, if you are allowed to use feeds, you might get updates on things in mere chronological order or something crazy like that.
Feeds are too user-centric. You might not have all your reading choices aggregated and tracked by a central authority!
With enough examples, statistical correlation is all you need.
A: We have to withhold this treatment because 100% of people with this condition last year died within a month.
B: Were they treated for it?
A. No, because we have to withhold treatment.
So, you're holding it wrong?
The most shocking thing about that case was how dismissive the members of the tribe were to the distress of the people screwed over by the company,
That's shocking? They're still being screwed over by our government daily. Even putting aside the past, what is their motivation to care?

It took 14 months and eight designers to create.
$150K for eight people for 14 months? I don't care if it had 1993 graphics, that's still a great value!
I know, that's incredibly cheap!
