A plant with its own green house!

Cool, or should that be warm?

I was after an article extolling Bristol as a tech hub, it does seem to be sponsored content, but maybe just to raise the tech hub’s profile.

But is the juice worth the squeeze?

OK not right first time, but Starship seems to be making good progress.

It is extremely ambitious, and no doubt others are deterred by the amount of derisking needed.

Being first is hardest, this adding is tackling a huge problem. The US Airforce Titan programme cost $100Bn in the sixties to tackle a whole host of problems.

I've been curious how progress has going since I tuned out all things Elon. Would have been nice if they had a graph of starship attempts & pass/rud over time. That would probably negate the headline

Thanks, this link therein looks very impressive, about the usage of space for parking, and the roads needed to connect them too:

Looks good.

London, Paris, Copenhagen, Rome, Madrid?

I guess it takes a while to add each new one in.

tysm! Yeah I've got a bit of a backlog, as each set of data for each system needs a deep-dive on how the system exposes it programmatically, then need to do tests and some studying on each to build cars,timelines, etc. Toronto is on the list, if there's any in particular you want, file an issue on gh, and I'll do my best to get it added in a timely manner. https://github.com/wafflethief123/publictransit-systems/issu...

Working in the industry: this is a can of worms that you might regret opening, because of simply how completely insane so many of the systems there are. I've seen cities repurpose text fields in otherwise perfectly standard formats because they needed a way to indicate that the bus was {insert any absolutely insane situation}, and not parsing that field means that the data doesn't make sense.

Your best bet for most of Europe are the open data platforms. Example for France: https://transport.data.gouv.fr/. There's soooome standardisation around a few formats:

GTFS, Netex, SIRI along with their various extensions (like GTFS-RT for realtime data), etc. Just parsing these (which is already a large undertaking in and of itself) should get you covered for a bunch of networks.

Oh, also, much of the data you'll find, especially from smaller cities or regions, is awful. You're going to be told that the line icon is white, on white text, and that's actually perfectly normal because actually their bus header is from an obscure system from former Yugoslavia that actually interprets "0xFFFFFF" as black when on layer 1. Good luck!

Looks good, is there anything more?

I didn't get you there, I suppose you could try it out and let me know what you're feeling is missing?

Thanks, yes I could see the link

Is this set up for a remake of the Italian job?

Were electric minis used in this heist? Was the Turin traffic system hacked?

Were only the doors blown off (come on baby light my fire)?

Don’t KitKats have AoP status and can only authentically be made in York?

The craze for Japanese KitKats being an exception.

Having bought a triple pack of 7 double finger KitKats in the nineties and eating them all in 20 minutes I can’t even look at a pack anymore.
