You should use the official API. http://travelinedata.org.uk/nextbuses.htm

I recommend that you do not use this. Traveline provide an official API with up to 180,000 free requests in a six month period. http://travelinedata.org.uk/nextbuses.htm

It will give you information for any bus stop, but not all of them have realtime data. Some use the timetable. You can ask Traveline for a list of areas where there is realtime data. For some reason the information is not published.

You can email them to ask for a test API key up to 1000 hits a day. If you sign a contract you can use 180,000 API hits every six month period for free. Beyond that there is a cost of £1.50 per 1000 API hits.

The article polarized men as evil and women as good Where?

You're right. The tech community is also incredibly racist. But I think we've had some articles about how startups only hire young people because they're willing to work days, nights and weekends.

It's not much of a stretch to say anyone killing children is (if not evil) in the wrong.

It's not ethical to encourage you to feel empathy? OK. You're entitled to your opinion but it's stupid.

by blocking_io 13y ago
This argument makes absolutely no sense. The 'political point' here is that children are being killed. If you can't use the dead bodies of children to illustrate this, then what can you use? Digitial manipulation is irrelevant to the fact t

Headline is hyperbole. According to the linked page, iOS devices leak some network information and it may be possible to analyse this to establish where the device's owner lives.

This article is wrong. Humanism is not feminism. Humanism is not related at all to tackling sexist discrimination (although many humanists may be feminists). Using the same word for two different movements would just be confusing.

Your concern trolling would be much more effective if you read the linked article.

Why is the origin relevant? Middle English incorporated Norman vocabulary into Old English following the invasion and subjugation of England. Does that make French a more valid language than English?

Can you point out where in the article it advocates teaching students AAVE? Rebecca Wheeler, the professor at Christopher Newport University mentioned at the outset, is a descriptivist, like all linguists. She says that these kids are spea

It was a little strong of me to say that the structures are identical. They are comparable.

by blocking_io 14y ago
Your comparison of second language speakers to native speakers of AAVE continues to be insulting and wrong. I'm not sure what you mean by "superior" here. There's an English language with its grammar rules, and there are common mistakes or

I don't think there are any rules to "AAVE" either, one speaker of this dialect? creole? language? or whatever we're calling it, would not be able to point out grammatical errors in the speech of another. You're wrong. Linguists have been

Are you really comparing how second language learners mangle a language to the first language of millions of Americans? As I said, English learners would not consistently apply rules. They make different mistakes. AAVE speakers reliably use

Do you read French? As the article explains, the structure is identical. There is no ambiguity.

You should really read articles before commenting on them. She says that these kids are speaking AAVE because that’s what they know; it’s not wrong — it’s their language. She thus advocates teaching students who speak AAVE at home the conc

by blocking_io 14y ago
As the article points out, if it were 'bad English', the rules of AAVE would not be consistently applied. However, speakers know how to use the rules and they always apply them. Saying that 'calling it a language' is bad is truly ignorant.

If by interesting you mean 'boring conspiracy theory'. Even if EA were the most evil company in the world, sacrificing a valuable franchise in order to marginally improve this quarters profit would still make no sense.

If you can get any detail on that, you really should forward it to the EFF. Even just that might spark someones memory.

Jesse Thorn, one of the podcasters in contact with the EFF, is asking for anyone who knows of prior art for podcasting before 1996 to get in touch. Hopefully someone on HN will be able to help out with this. https://twitter.com/JesseThorn
