Thanks RC! I went back when it was Hacker School! Grateful that period of my life - grew so much!

There's got to be a variant that is a 2x2 matrix of this: Lie to others, lie to yourself (spiral together; either fantastically poor or spectacularly rich) Lie to others, tell your…

Anyone know why some larger cities are not listed? For example, I am noticing that Oakland, CA is missing. This would have been a major city in 1992 when the list was created as we…

He acknowledges the risks and discusses in some detail towards the end of the video around the 29:00 mark. He just wanted to share a tool he found interesting that he was tinkering…

Was the whole point of this site to make the cars more visible on the map? B/c they're super hard to see! Would've been so much easier to just use a regular Leaflet slippy map or s…

fwiw I find the others (DC, Chi, BOS) easier to view/pan/explore

I was looking at the sourcemap and it appears that they wrote their own tiling library (see Tiles.ts and related files under js/). Is this right? Why not just Leaflet since they're…

I used to work in N Berkeley and live in Oakland by the lake. A lifestyle where you live and work in the E Bay is simply unparalleled.

I was happy to see the Crisp chat tool in the bottom right hand corner - the folks who make that do a great job. I used it "early on" in the product's life, back in 2016, and reall…

Yeah and in the car video on https://microsoft.github.io/AirSim/ , they have the car driving on the wrong side of a barricade on a bus only lane. :(

Thanks! That's a helpful description.

Interesting - would be interested in a comparison between GraphBLAS (which I had not heard of until just now) and, for example, graph-tool's ( https://graph-tool.skewed.de/ ) under…

Can we all just acknowledge that the "AI" aspect of this is gimmicky and - ignoring that part - Scribblenauts did this way, way better back in like '09?

Quickly scanning comments I do not think anyone else has brought up: administrative bloat. More money is being spent on science, but is more money actually making it through the ad…

This is awesome! I fully believe that government procurement needs serious reform, which this article and effort is clearly attempting to address. So, props to David Block-Schachte…

Perhaps it could be cross-posted?

I imagine it would look similar to the examples from his follow-up post on other cities from around the world, such as Rome or Paris, where distribution becomes fairly even: http:/…

Looks like a bunch of the bloomberg.com designers broke out of their NY offices and took over Jet Brains'... Could this mean 90's gradients are making a comeback? I hope not, for t…

Data related to a single trip will not be kept - data on route segments is product of aggregates, as I understand.

Data is - I believe - currently held on Conveyal's (the consultancy spearheading this) db. As I understand it, this has been developed in tandem with some World Bank initiatives an…
