    I love it: &gt; The Rebel County has a new taxi app. &gt; Owned by the drivers. &gt; &gt; Tap a Taxi is a driver-owned co-operative. No surge pricing, no hidden fees, just the meter price. Your fare stays with the driver. https://tapataxi.ie #TapATaxi #taxi #cooperative #ireland

    🤯 Yuan Liu (@RealYuanLiu) wrote on 21 Aug 2025: &amp;gt; Always fascinated with traffic light countdown in Amap in China. Turns out it is implemented by crowdsourcing motion data. Had thought they had integration with city govs (which they do but with just a small number of cities). What is Google doing with maps all these years? https://x.com/RealYuanLiu/status/1958424393136369925 #map #maps #amap #china #crowdsourcing

    “Çöküntü devirlerinde iki çeşit insan meydana çıkıyor. Namussuzlarla namuslular… […] Hele, önce vatandaş, sonra insan olunması gereken dehşetli sıralarda faziletle alçaklığın boğuşması kadar korkunç muharebe yok. Muharebede düşman karşıdadır. Üniformalıdır. Az da olsa, çok olsa da bir zaman sonra önemi kalmaz. Kaçarsın, kovalarsın... Anında ölenler, yaralananlar olur. Ama hep ileriye bakmanın bir rahatlığı vardır. Oysa esir bir şehirde, dost kim, düşman kim, bilinmez!” —Kemal Tahir
