Can you list some examples? When I lived in Chicago it was quite common for cyclists to shout this on the long lakefront trail, I wonder if that's the case there too.

I've never ridden in Illinois, but yeah:

> § 11-1512. Bicycles on sidewalks. (a) A person propelling a bicycle upon and along a sidewalk, or across a roadway upon and along a crosswalk, shall yield the right of way to any pedestrian and shall give audible signal before overtaking and passing such pedestrian.

No idea if the lakefront trail is classified as a sidewalk but there are at least some cases in Illinois where either a bell or a "on your left" are legally mandatory.

Firefox + ublock origin + consent-o-matic saves the day for me.


> The Linux terminal app on Android (check Developer settings if you want it)

I don't see it. How do I install it?


In developer settings, under debugging "Linux development environment (Experimental) Run Linux terminal on Android"

No such option. Apparently it needs to be allowed by the vendor (Samsung)?

Yeah, it is controlled by the vendor. If you can't find the option, you will need to use `adb` to enable it that's what I did basically. You can Google it and you'll find what I'm talking about. IRC, it is `pm enable ...`.

Wow that's amazing. Which glasses can do this?

There will always be outliers.


High level sports consists entirely of outliers. That’s kind of the point of the olympics. This newest rule is nothing more than a misogynist rule to turn the women’s division into the “no more than statistically average” division.


Almost every gold medal winner in the past games would not have been affected by this new rule, so that's a biiit hyperbolic. Those athletes are still far outside the normal performance of women (or men, for that matter).


I'm curious about what kind of visualization does the ATC have at the disposal about the current occupancy of the individual tarmac segments? I'd assume if an airplane is approaching for landing on a specific runway, that runway should have been clearly marked as restricted for access until the plane would actually land and clear it?


In the US, airplanes can be cleared for landing while the runway is occupied (you can be number two, three, etc. for landing and still be cleared). It's different in other countries, where you can only be issued a landing clearance if the runway is clear or anticipated to be clear before you land (e.g. the plane before you is already exiting the runway).


Still, the runway could be reserved for landing aircrafts only, still preventing access to all other types of vehicles.


How are fire trucks supposed to respond to incidents involving airplanes, as it appears this case involves, if the runway is off limits to them?


The way it's supposed to work, the ground controller first verifies that there are no traffic conflicts before clearing vehicles to cross an active runway.


Which is exactly what failed here, so saying "it shouldn't fail by not failing" doesn't help terribly much.

Having grade-separate crossings for vehicles might, but that introduces new issues (plane skidding off runway could hit the incline and break up).


O’Hare has those but it’s not helpful for emergencies that happen on the runway itself.


Well, sure, but in that case it's expected that the runway is closed.


The fire truck was responding to an emergency which is why it needed to cross an active runway.


That is exactly my point. What visual aids do the ATC controllers have at their disposal to decide if the runway is free for an emergency vehicle to pass?


If it's not safe to use, then they should wait or go around. Otherwise accidents like this one happen.


After OpenAI?


I assumed Nintendo of America was top.


Can you recommend some brands with good quality over-ear headphones?


As long as it will be pixel-exclusive, it will remain useless to the vast majority of android-capable phone users.


For astronomy bigger pixels is also better.


It depends on sampling and sky conditions. My only point was that some astronomy cameras have smaller pixels (like 1.45um).
