I took this class in 2010. Easily one of my favorite classes during my time at Cal. Every class project featured an extra credit tournament pitting your algorithms against every other student's.

The challenge only featured teams from universities, so their nationality has nothing to do with anything.

> The upgrade started out as kind of a hobby; engineers would work on it when they had free time. There was no dedicated team. I’m not sure why this still surprises me. For a company the size of Github, there should most certainly be a t

As usual, this looks like a half-baked implementation of BRT. They get many things right, including articulated buses, off-vehicle ticket purchase, and raised platforms. However, like most BRT systems in the US, it fails on the most importa

Mozilla is such a confusing company, and I say this as a daily Firefox user. How can you be claim to be serious about privacy when you partner with a startup to harvest complete browser histories? Makes no sense.
