I agree with the gist of what you’re saying, but, technically speaking, what about Greece? That’s got some fairly horrifying levels of centralisation.

Maybe I’ve had a long day and I’m being especially miserable, but we should learn our lesson and plan for self-archiving of new stuff as it appears. Perhaps a job for CIHT, UTSG, etc.

You’d hope so! I’m currently trying to think through how to plan for soon to arrive fully live petrol station data and soon to arrive live EV charger use data and aim off for the inevitable problems with archive sharing with those….

I reckon it’s been about 8, plus or minus 1. I didn’t ask about timetables, just the locations archive.

…(b) that Waymo itself doesn’t seem to have a remote kill switch or (c) that he can’t press the button on his app as directed because the moment he got taken hostage by his deranged Waymo, he thought “this would be great on Instagram”.

Because London has rubbish quality of reporting and high frequencies of services, London really does pop out of the map.

I’m only testing with 3hrs so far, but there are obvious issues in mid-wales, Norfolk etc, but, ranked by operator, TfL is second worst for % of all breadcrumbs that are either the start or end of a blackspot. First and third are in Peak District and Dales.

Black lines are where the bus didn’t report for 90+ seconds and in that time travelled 300m+. Actually easier for me to spot an intermittently spatial issue (like phone blackspots) this way than via a map. Got the idea from a recent #quantumofsollazzo email.

Also sorts of troubles I had were in fact just crap sleep. And I learnt that you can be asleep but not get any of the benefits of it because of how you go about it. My machine has a SIM card and sends my usage data in, so I don’t even need the annual checkup (unless something is actually wrong).
