Other than converting the trunk and passenger area into a cargo area, this hardly classifies as a truck. It appears that little was done to improve the vehicles handling off-road. The wheels and tires look to be stock meaning no gains in tr

In Chicago they've reduced the speed limit on one of the most frequented bike routes to 20 mph in some areas but its had perceivably no effect. My perception is that cars still average 25 to 35 mph through these areas and I've yet

This is similar to what I remember from playing Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis. I wasn't very good at the actual game, but there was a post-credit sequence I would skip to where you could just walk, drive, and fly around quiet,

"Deliverance From 27,000 Feet" [1] in the New York Times really changed my view in a similar way. While the most successful and visible adventurers are consummate professionals there is an unseen tier of adventurers that take on m

Buttons for pedestrian signals are great for safety. The point I was trying to get across is that in the proposed system, a pedestrian would never get a dedicated window to cross unless they push the button.

> Our solution for the short term, while physical traffic signals still coexist with the VTL system, is to provide pedestrians a way to give themselves the right-of-way. Ever since January of this year, our pilot program in Pittsburgh ha

Aside from the points other commenters have raised, one key feature of GPS head units like the Bolt is connectivity to sensors and accessories. Sensors historically used the ANT+[1] wireless protocol which was the standard for monitoring se

Got a source? Strava segments in my area often have very wrong altitude data. Chicago is extremely flat yet there are segments that report gradients of over 10%, sometimes as much as 27%. I believe they are thrown off by buildings and the

Altitude is a tricky thing with these kinds of devices. They’re usually based on pressure readings from a sensor inside the device but that reading can be affected greatly by a number of factors. See https://groups.google.com&#x2

I found React one of the easiest frameworks to learn and pick up but I had the benefit of learning React after working for a few years with Backbone and Angular. I found the opinions of the framework to be sensical and guided by the realiti

Just a standard dependency on version 15. It figured out react-dom just fine though. { "dependencies": { "react": "^15.6.1", "react-dom": "^15.6.1" } }

Just looked at the "dependencies" for one of my projects and it interprets "react" as this 5 year old, defunct repo: https://github.com/wballard/react .

I'm surprised we haven't seen config packages for webpack take off along the lines of the configs in the ESLint community. There's nothing stopping anyone from publishing an extensible base config.

I'm just getting into touring, myself and it's quite awesome. You get the joys of cycling, treking through nature, and can pack a little more liberally than backpacking. The big limiting factor is finding suitable trails and roads
