Cycling directions on Apple Maps has me more excited than it probably should. I like a LOT of what they’ve done to improve Maps since they entered the space and this was sorely missing for me

I actually have a story about this, while I never did it myself I had someone apply to a role two jobs ago who did. HR didn’t catch it, and I only did by highlighting a refererence name off the resume to put into an email and accidentally p

Does case law invent law or does it narrow or broaden the scope of how law already created can be applied and interpreted? Surely it’s the latter? Or are you suggesting the difference is immaterial? I don’t quite understand your respons
