Yes indeed. There are though a lot of drivers who just transit through SF on city streets - see where highways 1 and 101 go. In fact I've done this myself when staying down near San Jose and needing to go to meetings north of the Golden Gate Bridge. And for the people who can still afford to live downtown, I don't know why you'd want to drive anywhere within the city, but then I've chosen to live in a city where this lifestyle is the lesser option.
There ^^, fixed it for you. Catalonia isn't a separate state (yet). For most of us outside the US we don't even need to qualify which country Barcelona's in because we all know this as a given, and anywhere else in the new world that has the same name is the exception and needs to be qualified. Interesting that you mentioned "Catalonia" though... pushing some sort of political agenda or just ignorance of the place? Also interesting that you picked Barcelona and not some other better known or more congested city. This whole story just seems a bit weird and parochial.
Actually why even this story about San Francisco? It's hardly the worst offender in the US for pedestrian deaths at 1.7 deaths/100,000 - picking three comparable sized cities from Table 8 of this doc: http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/P... * Detroit, MI: 3.99 * Jacksonville, FL: 3.23 * Austin, TX: 2.97
It looks to me like a lot of US cities could do a lot to reclaim their cities back from cars, when you look at London which is vastly bigger and more congested with pedestrians. There were 65 pedestrians killed in London in 2013 compared with San Francisco's 29, which is a city a tenth the size: https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/me... http://www.transalt.org/sites/...
Getting rid of jaywalking laws so and reseting the attitudes and expectations of drivers so that they show more caution and slow down might be more effective. Allowing people on foot to reclaim their city from the motor car will make cities a better place. It would be better to lobby for better and more transportation alternatives than entrenching driving. In some congested places like London they've even talked about remove all signage and lane markings to create "naked streets", because actually this makes drivers slow down and pay more attention and care. As a visitor to San Francisco my observation is that drivers rush too much and drive too much like aresholes in their rush to get across the city.
Not everywhere. Maybe virtually everywhere in this US? Come to London: we don't have this nanny state concept of "jaywalking", just personal responsibility. Pedestrians do cross the roads wherever they like and whenever they think they can. It's up to the drivers to be aware of this and drive appropriately for the conditions. Trust me, as a cyclist in this city some parts of the West End are pretty scary: not because of the vehicles but because of nob-ends with their noses in mobile phones or just crowd mentality of one person's crossing so we all will.
Only now, as a cyclist in London, you're having a lot of trouble with cars? Consider taking the Tube? Yeah, I know why not. Try being a cyclist in Manhattan.
Since 1996 I've lived and cycled as a way of life in Denver, Toronto, Shanghai, Melbourne and London, amongst other places... North American drivers are just utter shit. It starts with ridiculously easy driving test. I have less space and more traffic in London yet I feel the drivers know I'm there and know how to drive pass me (although most of the time I'm passing them in this city;) ) And damn, the Tube is too slow compared with cycling, and forget driving if you're in a rush because it will take 2x longer than the train.
Yes, in most cases ride sharing is free at best or the cost of it is shared equitably. Uber drivers are in it for a profit and make a living from this, which is a totally different concept.
The world would be a very bad place if companies got to decide on laws
Isn't this precisely what people are suggesting some of the provisions in the TTIP deal will allow, where corporations will be able to sue governments despite their democratic mandate?
Maybe in your area, but that's not my experience. Their prices and availability are so random that it's not reasonable to make plans around them. I can imagine how much worse they'd get if they didn't have to compete with regular taxi and private hire car firms.
The BBC iPlayer always warns me if I'm on mobile data rather than wifi. I haven't installed iOS 9 yet so no idea what they do in this situation. I'd hope this is covered through the API and app devs handle it sanely.
Err, why do you think that Uber is superior? Surge pricing during a Tube strike is a real bitch, as is the difficulty in arranging for a guaranteed 5am pick-up for the airport arranged the night before.
As a cyclist in London I've been having a lot of trouble recently with bad drivers all in Toyota Priuses with mobile phones on their dashboards. Simply coincidence that this has happened and got worse with the rise in popularity of Uber? These drivers are worse than the dickheads in the black Addison Lee vans. I'm all for some government regulation and taxation for these arseholes.
Memory consumption and monolithic process drove me off to Chrome and Safari years ago. I see the Electrolysis project is now targeting the end of the year, but I'm not going to hold my breath considering how long they've been promising it.
They probably already had Gatekeeper disabled. I know I had to do this simply because of the number of tools I use as a software developer that wouldn't run otherwise. Gatekeeper's pretty good if you only play Farmville or don't do anything beyond Safari, although I wonder why you'd have a high end computer for that rather than a generic Windows system or some other portable device.
I think it's acceptable usage to use 'Great Britain' in the same way as 'Britain', considering that 'Team GB' represented the whole of the UK in the Olympics.
I think it was 10-15 minutes for me. But I digress...
If these people were able to download the infected alternative faster than from the App Store, then the real question is why? Is this a consequence of the Chinese government's internet interference?
The only options when one replaces an iPhone with another is to start from scratch or do a complete copy of the old phone. Admittedly the latter is a doddle with iTunes, but I'd actually just like an option to copy messages and call history. The rest I'm happy to start from scratch with, but I haven't found an easy way to do it.
* Live Photos - anyone who likes photography is pretty excited about this, especially as it captures just a bit before you press the capture button...
I like photography, which is why I have a point and shoot that generates RAWs, a dSLR and Adobe Lightroom. Every iPhone release Apple heralds how good the photo quality is, but my wife's six year old Canon point and shoot creates better images than my iPhone 5s, especially when the light levels drop. iPhone pictures are often fantastic on an iPhone sized screen, but view them on a computer or crop or blow them up and you start seeing the flaws pretty quickly. So, I'll wait and see, but I assume this will be good for capturing some basic memory shots because it's conveniently always with you or because it's used by somebody who has shit composition skills and image quality is irrelevant when they have a go.
Hmmm, I'm really not interested in Live Photos, which sounds like a gimmick like the whole Lytro thing.
This is hardly surprising giving that there was always going to be a widely distributed short-list out there. There are many videos like this one on Youtube that show you how to open a case with no or little evidence of tampering without evening unlocking it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
As a licensed driver it's incumbent upon you to adapt your driving to the conditions. Sounds like you need to go slower and more cautiously in that neighbourhood. I'm not sure what jurisdiction you're in, but the highway code here explicitly points out that both pedestrians and cyclists are unpredictable and drivers must be cautious and are expect to drive safely whatever they do. For me, I just got back from driving the Amalfi coast in Italy (and Bosnia and Albania the year before), so I think anything nob-end cyclist can try on won't phase me. You should try a driving holiday there. Added bonus for me being on the wrong side of the road.
this is a guy [...] shilling for his password management company
Thank you. From the tone/writing style of the story, I was wondering whether this was written by a first year CS student or somebody trying to sell something. More clutter adding to the poor SNR on/.
It does not mean try to squeeze through because you think you have time. I know people who've had tickets for running the amber, despite being across the line before it went red.

It sounds like another reason for drivers to slow down and take more care!

If it's confusing, then slow down. It's your responsibility as a driver to be safe and drive appropriately for the conditions.

You need to brush up on your maths. 80% of 120 = 96.

How much do you want to bet that most adult cyclists also have a driving license? I.e. they're already licensed.
Indeed. Implicit rather than explicit often leads to a better story.
Funny: they banned public hangings in the UK because they were too popular! I guess this programme appeals to the same kind of people.

Amber means stop you can do so safely:

It does not mean try to squeeze through because you think you have time. I know people who've had tickets for running the amber, despite being across the line before it went red.
