> The system applies artificial intelligence to traffic signals equipped with cameras or radars adapting in realtime to dynamic traffic patterns of complex urban grids, experienced in neighborhoods like East Liberty in the City of Pittsburgh
Now, that said, I have serious issues with that system: It seemed heavily biased to vehicle throughput over pedestrians, and it's not at all clear that it was making the right long-term choice as far as the incentives it created. But it _was_ cameras watching traffic to influence signaling.
This was the reason they built such an extensive application compatibility shim system into Windows 95. If a poorly coded application breaks on an OS upgrade, the user is going to blame Windows, not the application.
Bangkok changed the plans of its two most recent transit lines (Yellow and Pink) from standard rail to monorail for the cost savings - since they're completely elevated. I guess they solved the evacuation issue by making the space between the two rails a solid platform.
I believe King Rama IX was not technically a U.S. citizen because his parents were considered foreign diplomats. In any case he never tried to claim citizenship and was only ever considered Thai.
So, a foreign prince (not the King, his brother) enrols as a student at Harvard - would he be considered a “foreign diplomat”? He wasn’t formally acting as a diplomat, and unless he happened to be officially accredited to the State Department as one, I doubt he would have technically counted as one either. Was he present in the US on a diplomatic/consular visa, or a student visa?
Also, in most countries (the US included), one’s status as a citizen/national is legally independent of whether one tries to “claim” it.
I’ve been watching ReactOS development for years and and progress is slow but steady. I’m excited for the point where it will be fully usable as a drop in replacement for old Windows software.
Here's the sub-heading from the article you linked to:
"The story: Robert Moses ordered engineers to build the Southern State Parkway’s bridges extra-low, to prevent poor people in buses from using the highway. The truth? It’s a little more complex"
No evidence besides the direct testimony of a person that worked on the project given to one of the best biographers in a piece of work that won a Pulitzer Prize. Also, the physical evidence of the bridges. Circumstantially, the man was openly racist, and openly used design to segregate.
The assertion isn’t that you couldn’t take a bus to the beach. The assertion is that you couldn’t take a bus from the inner city neighborhoods to Jones Beach, which was true.
Are there any advantages to BasiliskII/SheepShaver these days? Seems like QEMU has caught up on the Macintosh emulation side for both 68k and PPC. The only hole is early Macs which Minivmac handles quite well.
The file sharing features in Basilisk/SheepShaver are really useful, particularly if you're on a Mac host. Being able to drop files you've had archived on your computer for the last 20 years into a shared folder and open them directly on the emulated system is pretty neat.
