No, this would be a fun one to watch! Imagine them claiming that Xi is 2000+ yrs old and he just came to power....now?

It's crazy how well he does an American accent. I'm currently watching Veep and was so impressed with how normal southern he sounds. Not a hint of a British accent!

The city does this every Sunday in the summer in Boston on Newbury Street and it's absolutely fantastic. I swear the street feels like it doubles in foot traffic. It really feels like that's how the street should have been designed from the beginning. Sadly, people still complain all the time about parking on the most hectic shopping street in Boston and I just have absolutely no sympathy for them.

Sorry I can't help since I'm not Canadian, but it's absolutely insane that another person can't ride on power-assisted bike.
In my experience in the US, you just have to pay the fine even if the law changes.

Not sure if sarcasm, but the article is actually super insightful into a few different methods bad actors could use to accomplish the same feat (short of giving them a formula, from what I can read, but I'm not a battery maker)

Are you like building a mobile app or have 100k tests or is it just super slow?

I forget where I read this, but someone posited that the goal has always been "all day" battery. Ever since the first smartphones ,we've had, largely, the same battery life. It lasts most of the day and that's good enough for most people. The secret, though, is that actually the batteries have gotten way bigger and more energy dense, it's just that the processors and mobile radios are also more power intensive.
I suspect if you put a modern battery in a 5 yr old smartphone it would last 2+ days. But you'd have to deal with 3G radios, bad GPS, and slow performance.

One of the most amazing things about this would be to remove signs altogether. Just embed the sensor in the pavement and give the space the signs took up back to people, nature, or literally anything else.
Huge overhead highway gantries and traffic lights would be wonderful to remove, too. City sidewalks are narrow enough as is and they would be way better without 20+ft tall metal poles jutting out of the ground. Hopefully we can put trees in their place, but maybe I'm dreaming.

The word "feed" is very unsettling in the context of an AI toaster...

Absolutely this, people paying cash and with debit cards end up just subsidizing points redemptions. Merchants aren't eating card fees (typically 1.5-3% of a purchase), they just baked it into prices.
With a stable income, watching what you spend, and auto-pay, carrying a card balance is super easy to avoid these days.

Agree completely! I don't know how people remember random Wednesday night plans without putting it on a calendar.
Plans just go in one ear and out the other unless I write them down immediately

Also a good use case for a government-developed app. They have the most up to date access to satellite photos (likely already paid for other departments to use, too) and a desire to make their fisherman more efficient.

I wish this happened more often! Why not infuse art into routine notification lights/bells?
What innovation will they think of next!
The silver line works, but it's already crowded as is and still gets stuck in traffic near the airport. Haven't tried the Blue Line, though.
