What exactly are "exterior light rails"?

This wouldn't be reliable, it's very plausible it's somebody else's account being used.

They recently acquired an AI/ML startup called Turi - I think they see the need to remain competitive. http://www.geekwire.com/2016/exclusive-apple-acquires-turi-m...

That costs far more (in fuel, maintenance, and drivers), and typically places that have articulated buses warrant having articulated buses.

In the first and second question he addresses pollution and coal. I think it's safe to assume he means an electric car powered by renewable energy.

I had not heard of the Downs-Thomson Paradox, thank you very much for sharing it. After reading the article I have to point out, from the "Restrictions on validity" section, that it "only applies to regions in which the vast

After you've done that, in combination with sidewalks, you have effectively created a pedestrian-only street above the cars. The cost of that is immense. Why not just make the surface (ground level) street more accessible to pedestrian

I think the article is targeting more arterial streets that have 12-foot lanes (e.g. one-way, two lane streets). Not highways running through cities, which are not "streets". From my experience, few cities have four lane highways

You can also add any Chrome bookmark to your home screen, just like any other app.

Other than adding a word count that only periodically updates, what value does this add to something like Notes in OS X?

Awesome! That looks nice. Thanks for taking feedback.

I do think it would be valuable to fetch the value field, as then the user can format the text however they want - for example, I may want to say "96 minutes" instead of "1 hour 36 minutes". Additionally, it's much

Iodine is pretty cool, but do keep in mind that even though this repo looks new and novel, the project has been around since 2006.

Wholeheartedly agree. I typically try to take the bus, but when that's not an option or not convenient, I always appreciate Uber(X)'s great level of service (and prior to its existence, was consistently unhappy with taxi companies

I'm not entirely sure I agree that Android is closed. Sure, distros of it seem closed - but the project itself is open source.

"If your child was born in the last couple of years, he or she is likely to live five years more than children born a decade ago." Isn't this a huge misrepresentation of the statistics behind this article?

I'd also have to add the URLs are too long. With Collabedit I'm often telling the candidate the URL over the phone. The unique IDs for a Codepair page are just too much to read over the phone.

It was possibly - likely, even! - a botched use of classical rhetoric.

This article really does nothing to contribute to the discourse on Meteor. At best it would be a reasonable comment, but the content isn't worthy of an article. The author admits to not having used Meteor (in any real way), but then go

How is the OP's article not open source? They tell you exactly how to make it using parts bought from a local hardware store.

Isn't this comparing apples to oranges? It's like saying Apache surpasses PHP in Google Trends interest - they're very different, incomparable technologies.

I don't get why people made so much fun of Apple Maps for showing bridges as weird, collapsed, accordion-looking structures when Google Maps does the exact same thing on the exact same bridges.
