Flickr was probably the first service I paid money for. I seem to recall shelling out $5(?) a month years back - maybe around 2009, possibly earlier - when I hit the 200 photos limit. I was more than happy to pay that back then, because they were doing something I valued. It was a frictionless way to share photos, and the community was nice. I used to actively go and flick through people’s photos, spending a few minutes each day looking at beautiful photography. I’ve not even attempted to log in to Flickr in years. Yahoo made a royal mess of it - in particular when the Flickr ID had to be tied to a Yahoo ID, I just gave up even attempting to log in. Rubbish. Will I pay again? Probably not. The web has moved on and there are easier ways to share photos now. The communities that were once those little communities like Flickr, united by a common passion and desire to show something special have been poisoned by the meme-driven, glib-comment-ridden everything-in-one-place race to the bottom of bigger social networks. Flickr was the product of a gentler, more innocent time.
I am being overly crabby. I do appreciate the author's enthusiasm for maps. But still, I stick to Google Maps because Apple Maps has a reputation for giving terrible directions. That's where the Google Maps moat is. The directions are generally good and will route you around traffic, which is crucial.
Why does he treat the presence of fans and HVAC units on building roofs as an advantage for Google Maps? Isn't that just meaningless visual clutter? Unless I'm looking to land a helicopter on the roof, it's just distracting.

If I were working on maps at Google I'd be looking into ways to remove that sort of content, not emphasize it. Maybe that's Apple's thinking as well.

But also likely the most common one. It's not fair to lump it in with the dozens of other map use cases.

This is really neat but I don't really care about greenery when I'm using Apple Maps. Can they take a break from figuring out how to convert satellite images into green blobs and devise an algorithm to put street names on the screen?

Apple and Google maps are both worthless as maps without typing in an actual address and using navigation because they can't just show the main cross street names on the screen. It absolutely blows my mind that map products ship without street names clearly visible at all times.

The before/after map of downtown SF actually shows less useful data about the city. It no longer shows the names of Mission or Market streets. The fancy 3D representations of buildings don't help me negotiate on the ground.
A knife is a tool (the tool) which focuses human force, at a point and/or along an edge. That's about as generic as a tool can be.
And they can also backfill standby passengers or flight crews for other flights into those capacity gaps at the last minute if they still exist.
Plenty of adults do it too. I'm reminded of this every time I go shopping with someone who objects that I did not find a closer parking space. And I have to point out that it would take more time and fuel to go to the closer space than it would be to walk from where I parked to that space.

These are just people who don't walk enough outside to know how long it takes to walk places. They're trying to maximize efficiency in a rather horrible way.
The original Google Maps showed all the street names on all the streets, so you didn't have to guess.

Later versions of Google Maps didn't do this, so on some streets, you would have no idea what the street names were, and would have to zoom out or scroll out until you saw the name.

THIS is what I want fixed. I don't care about vegetation, I want to be able to see what the street names are without distracting myself on the map.

Firefox supports the whitelisting natively.

The only thing it doesn't have is a way to auto delete cookies without restarting (which expires session cookies, which is a native option).

That's how I use it, cookies default to session only and a few sites get saved across sessions.

I hope they have some manner of “shearing off” the nodes that represent those streets and break the graph into two disjoint ones. That way they’re off on their own little island without a ferry connection and problems only arise if you ask for a route to, or are starting from within, somewhere that actually doesn’t have any ground truth.

We communicate via Slack, Git and Trello and have a release twice a week. We want to be the no.1 app for vocabulary learning and we are getting there quickly with our current user base of 7 million, a monthly active of >800,000 and an average store rating of 4.7.

>> Greyhound’s decision to write off much of the Canadian frontier

Frontier? This isn't 1827. If Canada has a frontier it is The North, not Alberta.

Canada has significant problems when it comes to servicing small rural communities. Take the 82 year-old "cattle and grain farmer from Langenburg, Saskatchewan" who lives 11 hours outside Edmonton. Getting him health care is a huge problem, a much greater issue than him visiting relatives in the city. Greyhound didn't just disconnect small towns. It disconnected Vancouver form Kamloops, two large urban areas. It just disconnected Vancouver from Whistler.
Those two cities hosted the 2010 winter games. If that link cannot be made profitable, there is no hope for connecting Langenburg.

(I took the Vancouver-Whistler route many times as a kid. It was horrible. Four hours in a bus station and then a horrible bus to complete a journey that could be done in an hour by car. When I turned 16 I bought a car and never looked back.)
Nice work releasing!

There were two things I thought could use some improvement.

First were the two images of a list of hyperlinks that look clickable. I tried clicking on the links to no avail thinking they were broken, only to realise I was clicking on an image. The two images in particular are the News Sections and Newsmakers images on the homepage.

The second point was that I initially couldn't figure out how to access the service. I had to click on "Read the U.S. edition" which sounded like a sub-section of the site, not the main news aggregator service. What threw me off was the website slogan of "Daily news from around the world", I was trying to find the rest the news, not just the U.S. edition. If this is the only option right now, it could possibly just say "Read the News". Take this with a grain of salt though as I am not a U.S. citizen, so I might not be your current target audience right now.
> The article demonstrates through the use of animated gifs that Apple Maps has become significantly better over time and in many cases surpasses the quality of competitors.

Except for actually finding & navigating to places, where it's somehow getting worse rather than better.

Vegetation & building outlines are the primary aspects Apple Maps is improving upon per the article, whereas places are getting worse.

Just for reference sexual harassment is illegal / legal depending on your location and offense. I don't know about all cases and at risk of engaging you further -- it's often the company the bears legal responsibility to create a safe work environment (not the employee).

Meaning, the company can be held liable if they did nothing with the complaints. That typically means they need to remove the person (if there is evidence) that committed the act. That does not necessarily mean that a lewd remark is illegal (it is typically not).

I am not saying anything is "correct" or "incorrect", "moral" or "immoral". I am explaining that most sexual harassment is not illegal behavior. The only thing that could be illegal is not doing something to rectify the situation.

Then every single Kickstarter is doing it wrong.

Nothing wrong with taking orders for something that doesn’t exist, so long as you can deliver.

The sales team’s problem is that they didn’t know what was technically feasible.

There may have been a way to decipher whether what was promised was build-able... before trying to build it.

And in any case, the point of collecting payment is to validate the market. No better validation than actual sales. But doesn’t mean the money has to be spent. They should hold on to it in case they need to give out refunds, and give out refunds when they have determined that they can’t deliver.

And in the special case of a kickstarter type campaign then the basis of that relationship was that the product may or may not come to fruition and that they don’t have to give out refunds.
I really have no idea...but I don't think so! Or at least if the kinetic diameter is the smallest hole something can fit through it can't?

Helium's is 260pm or 0.26nm so that could be the limit. But the actual atomic diameter has a couple different calculated and observed values from 31pm to 140pm so maybe it could fit through holes around that size? My guess is we don't have the technology to make a hole of precisely that size or even measure a single He atom passing through such a hole. Would probably have to find a real expert to know if it's theoretically possible.

Two years ago Apple released information on its website about "differential privacy", which is a branch of data analysis that deals with collecting information for analysis that cannot be tied directly back to an individual person.

Apple uses these oscillators. They are substantially more expensive than crystal oscillators, but are much smaller and use less power. This may explain why the Android phones, which are more price sensitive, didn't use them. It does seem that the current generation of SiTime oscillators don't have a problem with Helium, so perhaps current generation iPhones don't either.

> They aspire to be a "Services" company, but unfortunately they aren't much good at it (see the usual list of failures. eg: Maps, Siri, etc).

The whole "Apple is not good at services" thing is an old tripe. 2012 Apple was not good at services. 2018 Apple has now consistently been growing services tremendously for several years with several notable huge successes. They are now one of the largest companies (by revenue) in streaming music (Apple Music), contactless payments (Apple Pay), software sales (App Store), etc. Sure Siri and Maps are not necessarily best of breed. But not being best in every category, does not mean you are not good at something.
