Brussels cycling infrastructure has improved a _lot_ in the last decade and the number of cyclists is growing every year while the number of households with a car is decreasing every year (less than half of the househols have a car now).
As they say, there's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing. The weather in the Netherlands is not very different and it doesn't stop them.
Also the public transportation is by far the best of the country, but that doesn't say a lot.
The same reason used for WA emissions inspections (since suspended). If your tailpipe emitted 99ppm of pollutants, you were good to go. If it emitted 100ppm, you had to get it fixed.
I don't get your point about the tailpipe emissions. Of course there is a hard cutoff. What else could there be? Do you want them to gently suggest that you should maybe fix your car above 90ppm, and then rudely suggest from 95ppm?
The response they can do is that they either let you use the car or not let you use the car. That is binary. Technically they cannot even do that. All they can do is promise you that if you use your non-compliant car and they find it out they will fine you. Laws are after all just formalised threats backed by force.
You have to be able to fit those 10 100mL bottles into a single 1 quart resealable bag. At most you'd probably get about 9.46 of those 10 bottles in the bag but in practice it's fewer still.
...the rule wasn't implemented because you have quart sized bags, it's the other way around. Also it's not like 1 litre bags would be difficult to make and procure.
I do think we'll need to change our view on airconditioning, every home should have airconditioning just like it has heating.
But I'm very sceptical of those numbers. They are apparently even worse for cold, and you can't attribute that to lack of airconditioning. I still think the huge difference can only be attributed to a difference in reporting.
I think it’s common knowledge China never reports numbers that cast them in an unfavorable light, to the point where analysts generally disregard them.
Sadly most new models have both camera and lidar. I can see the use of a camera for avoiding things like cables and pet poo, but I don't think it's worth is especially since all the robots are controlled via the cloud
>but the second that voice starts speaking sentences and I need to understand in real time, I freeze up. The real progress is conversing!
What helped me a lot was doing a lot of listening exercises. Start with concentrating on what you can recognize, not on what you can't. Then listen again and and again and again trying to recognize more and more.
That's what I do and it helps and many apps let me do just that. Repeating it, reading the hanzi, reading the pinyin, and it all makes sense.
But there's something about the "conversation" between a real human or an AI voice mode where you're not on the rails. It's real time and you have to lock in and understand. That's where the magic happens!
It's something we saw in highschool, I would expect anyone with a CS degree to recognize this optimization.
I barely know anything about compiler optimization, so I have no clue whether a compiler applying this optimization is surprising or something trivial.
Yes, that was clear to me from the article and the discussion. My point is that to someone who knows about Gauss' formula but doesn't know anything about compilers might not understand what the fuss is about.
Not only do tracks cross, trains also share tracks and platforms. In Shanghai only Line 3 and 4 share tracks and platforms.
Your map only shows ICE/IC lines, there are many more other lines which share the same tracks. This shows a more complete picture: https://www.deviantart.com/costamiri/art/Transit-diagram-of-... but it still doesn't show international trains and freight.
I think your issue is just that your grammar was wrong.
是的(Shide) is the closest thing to yes in Mandarin, but it's as universal. Answering 是的 on the question 你会中文吗 is like answering "yes I am" on the question "do you speak English?". 可以 isn't correct either, unless they asked 你可以说中文吗？, which is more like "Can you switch to English?" And not "are you able to speak English?" if I'm not mistaken.
Answering 我会 is perfectly fine, even if you don't speak perfectly Chinese. If you want to sound be more humble you can say（我会）一点点/丢丢. 还可以 doesn't fit the pattern either, but it is ok too I think.
Not a native speaker though.
More on topic: To me not bad/不错，no problem/没事 are just as positive in English, maybe even more in the case of no problem. But I'm not a native speaker of either.
