Because social media. The same goes for a phone number. If your contacts give out a phone book, your number is leaked.

> Interestingly, I expected cold places to have lower road quality in general due to things like freeze-thaw cycles and the impact of road salting, but there doesn’t seem to be much correlation. Plenty of cold places (North Dakota, Wyoming, Minnesota) have good-quality roads
Not sure about those states in particular, but I have anecdotally noticed that some of the places with the harshest winters do some of the least road salting -- because salt is mostly usable for light to moderate snowfall and the people who live in the harshest climates are often better equipped to drive on hard packed snow.
Yep, in New York the pothole season is early Spring rather than winter, for example.
It only works in Chrome, not Firefox or Safari. Sad.
I would like to take this opportunity to ask others:
- What services do you use for lossless music streaming?
- When you have a FLAC file, how do you listen to it in an Android phone or a Linux/Windows machine? Which apps/softwares? And does headphone/speaker quality make a difference- or is it bottlenecked by the audio card of the PC/phone?
I am a noob, and would like the answers, along with some good pointers, if possible.
I convert and upload my flac files to Apple Music which is available cross-platform, though poor on linux.
Speaker quality makes a huge difference according to my experiences from lower end $30 portable speaker to stereo sound systems in cars. Last weekend I rented a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Its sound quality is noticeably terrible because I couldn't hear some backing violin/piano sound of a symphony compared with my own car.

Have I found a bug? I entered JFK and Heathrow, it resolves to correct airports but the map shows a route between London and Lisbon.
Addresses used:
John F. Kennedy International Airport, JFK Access Road, Queens, New York, 11430, United States
Heathrow Airport, Cranford Lane, Hatton Cross, London Borough of Hillingdon, London, Greater London, England, TW6 2DN, United Kingdom
Anyone using it daily? I'd love to hear about what makes the cool animations.. well, cool. My desktop is pretty boring right now.
As an average user, wayfire has been pretty reliable since 0.7.5. It is just its ecosystem needs more work.

America is home to Qualcomm, Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, Micron, Broadcom, Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, Apple, Applied Materials, Lam Research, KLA, Cymer, and most of the other most important fabless houses and IDMs outside of Korea. TSMC and Samsung are both building large foundry fabs in the US. Why don’t you stick with opining in what you know.

> This is one advantage of Ada, where parameters are abstractly declared as "in" or "in out" or "out".
Also Fortran has "in", "inout" and "out".
