Osmand supports editing openstreetmap if you install a plugin, it's not the most convenient way since osmand is supposed to be for navigation. You can also use amenity editor which allows you to add stuff from the webbrowser.
But no, just adding a POI is not something openstreetmap excels at, I guess it's something that is prone to abuse (see Google maps).
Using taxis for everything because the lower classes take the train is a lifestyle choice.
That's still a lot more efficient than what most other Americans do, which is drive 30-60 minutes each way on their daily commute, using their own car.
Taxis are very good for the citylife compared to a car, and it's a nice way to share fixed costs. But CO2 wise taxis are a lot worse since they have lots of dead mileage when they aren't transportning anything. Bicycles though is a good alternative now in NYC, it's nice that they are doing streetdesigns to help people transport themselves by switching between bike/bus/walk/metro.
I'm often offended by people (and this is likely an army mentality thing) who complain about problems instead of actually dealing with them and I do admit, I think I have used that argument before in such situations as I felt that if it's a real problem worth pursuing, one would do something instead of talking about it.
No. If you only do and never talk you will never understand what other people think.
There is that factoid (true or not) that it's a lot more likely for women to leave the STEM sector within 10 years after graduation. (got no link to call this a fact I'm so sorry)
Ischemia deaths in Sweden by age you can compare that to the graph for traffic accidents with stationary objects
You are basically saying that to die of old age is more common that terrorism, war/terror kills people of all ages that's why it's so scary. There are 1000x more 70+ who die common types of heart failure like ischemia than 30 year olds
I'm for it would be wonderful data to have, going to be pretty dull to have video all of the staff though, and as is stated above the first thing people wil learn is how to block the cameraview.
as Scotland Yard pointed out [we need] CCTVs in our homes that we aren't able to turn off.
Like a service that let you publish personal video streams on the net. That would be awesome! Let's call it "Anti-Twitch", you from the twitchy triggering fingers of SWAT forces.
Anyways, what you need to do is look at all these costs and decide if it makes sense. It might be cheaper and have more impact to simply subsidize the heck out of plug-in hybrids, or develop a Zipcar style system.
Cars costs a lot, especially in space, that is the biggest subsidize you get. Sure it's a sunk cost for all apartments and houses, but it's still something that we pay a lot of money to maintain and extend. Individual cars will never ever be cheap, it might seem like it's cheap if you think that everyone should have one.

I guess now we know why traffic is such a big problem for LA.
And the issue here is pollution, not traffic. These shared cars are electric, so not a problem.
In the spring lots of particles are released from the road, those particles have slowly accumulated during a long period of wet weather. Decreasing traffic reduces the amount of those particles that are launched up into the air, not by much, but hopefully enough to not be fined for it. I guess electric cars help a bit but not enough by a long shot.
There are three ways to solve mobility in cities
1. walk
2. public transport
3. bikes
Trying to use cars for personal transport has failed for all cities that has tried it.
There was recently a good talk about smog in China. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Ah looks like Ubuntu fixed it, things change I guess
"Chrome gathers statistics on how it's used so it's evil and we don't care if it breaks". WTF?
That's not even remotely what the Debian devs said. The Google Devs choose to disable support for anyone who want to have a stable Linux experience, so Ubuntu LTS users won't have Chrome extensions until 2017.
From what I read the dongle is merely the interface from the camera (USB) to the smartphone (USB)..
When did SMOP become the "small matter of electrical engineering and product design"?
