Since when? I don't recall anything about this.


It's on the letters the council keep sending me warning me that it's a legal requirement to register and I could be fined £80 if I don't. (I am registered, at a different address).


I don't think you read his comment.


What did you propose as the alterntive?


atleast read the link before commenting nonsense.


I didn't realise uBlock Origin was so powerful, can hide authors from websites that you don't enjoy.

Is this not just shoving your head in the sand though?


Seriously? You have infinite time? Please share your time lord secrets.


RTS games are fairly unique in that you always know you could be doing things slightly faster, constantly. Yes, you can make a big mistake that loses you the game (like losing a queen badly in chess), but often if you just did your macro tasks a little faster you would have won, or scouted every 30 seconds instead of 35. The article touches on this in respect to APM.

We have a related problem in the UK. Sometimes very small "country lanes" have no explicit speed limit, so defaults to national speed limit of 60mph, which you would have to be suicidal to drive at (or just hate your car), but Google maps still often route finds along these roads.

An example: https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhMWPgE2gznsPsQ9A


Except that Google uses an average of the recorded speed of vehicles using a road segment, linked to time of day, and not the speed limit.


... which, given that most people are speeding, makes their estimates completely unrealistic if you want to actually obey the law.


So they should add a "route options" -> "follow speed limits" checkbox, or track your speed compared to the average driver.


This. Google has a major advantage in that they have a massive dataset. They can use their data to improve the cost function even in real time to detect traffic.


Winding British country lanes aren’t a bug, they’re a feature!



I think the target audience aren't the sort of people that buy a packet of coffee powder from the grocery store.
