U.S. needs to re-learn how to handle growth. We used to plan for growth. Then we stopped building enough housing & gave people every tool to veto housing. We stopped investing in transit & other infrastructure & made it hard for cities to fund public investment. Time for a shift.

Looks like Google published 2 different May 2018 @android updates for the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL without saying which one is the normal one. developers.google.com/androi…

Last I checked, SF wanted people to get around w/o having to drive. People also say there are too many ride shares on our streets. Along come scooters: tiny vehicles, easy to use. SF’s response? Ration them! And you wonder why our streets are so clogged. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti…

...browser and works in the good browser, it's likely good to check after each step of this reduction that the minified version still has the bug and the unminified version still works correctly.
(It's useful because you might otherwise end up with code broken both ways.)
2/2
Reducing the @mavoweb side to something more minimal (if that's useful, not sure if it is) should be similar to reducing for a browser bug.
Just like it's useful when reducing for a browser bug to check after each step of reduction that it still shows the bug in the bad...

Current schedules have Daxing opening 3 months ahead of Crossrail (September versus December 2019), so Daxing seems like a pretty solid guess, at least.

The vote mostly agreed with that conclusion... although crossrail does seem like it has an outside chance at being first.
