Unsurprisingly they mostly run trains to places where people live, but there is some influence the other way too. New commuter rail lines have historically lead to more development around the stations (e.g. Metro-land 100 years ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro-land), and in cases where a station is built for reasons other than there being a centre of population (e.g. because it's an important junction) then that does also tend to lead to houses being built. Of course in more recent times this hasn't happened because you can hardly ever build outside of existing conurbations, but that is changing and several new towns are being planned for new or existing train stations.
The location of the train comes from trackside sensors and is available as a free API. It doesn't give actual lat/lon – it only shows when it went past a particular checkpoint. The part that needs location permission is the one that works out which train you are on. It doesn't use that to produce the main map, it's just to work out which train you are likely to be on.
> I was a bit confused what this adds other than just standard CDN-Cache-Control page caching that we do now.
Until now these cache headers didn't work if you set them in a Worker, because Workers were always run in front of the cache. You could use them if you're running Cloudflare cache in front of another origin, but not if you were e.g. rendering a site in Workers. This changes that.
This article isn't about coverage, it's about what goes in the duct if there is a connection. If Comcast can run a cable to your house, then they can put four strands and allow other ISPs access to them.
That said, how many of these homes have mains electricity? Landline phone service? If they can do that, then they can do fiber. Sure your cabin in Montana might not have it (though the equivalent in Sweden probably would), but the small town probably does.
The regulations here aren't about forcing companies to lay fiber to every home, it's enforcing a standard that when a company does lay fiber it lays four strands that any ISP can use.
They're not regulating though – they're arbitrarily blocking releases based on no clear criteria. The EU may be legalistic and rules-based, but I'd take that over capricious and arbitrary.
Probably, yes. It's likely just a breach in their terms of service. You'll note that they're not suing them – they're trying to get the government to do their work for them.
Bulk second-hand books are a lot cheaper than ebooks. Also not all books are available as ebooks, and ebooks have terms of service that presumably prevent them being used for training.
Using them was allowed as fair use – it was the downloading of the pirated copies that was infringement. That's why Anthropic switched to scanning paper books.
You don't need to use a lawyer to draw up the docs unless you have special requirements: you can use the proforma memorandum (it's auto-filled if you apply online) and adopt the model articles of association.
