There is Mapquest (based on mapbox) it is surprisingly good and works well for nearly most of my use cases.

Don't follow the point
Interestingly their human support has been good, considering how annoying and not helpful human support is with other Google services.
Not sure if this would qualify, but last weekend started teaching swimming for my 2year old. He enjoyed it the most and learnt to move in water (with float) albeit short distance on his own. I learnt swimming when I was 23 and even now freak out when I'm in water. Proud moment for me as his teacher.
Actually I do all of these in all my trips :-/ beyond simple reasons, there is nothing sinister.
* Bored in flight - sleep.
* Bored at airport - do people watching, good place is look at how people board, watch airplanes take off and land, what is the ground crew doing.
* Travel comfortably and lightly - go in shorts and at the destination airport change to formals.
* Don't like queue - board last
* Want to travel cheap internationally - you would go through cheap airlines like Turkish, Ethihad (or) some unknown airline.
* In business trip - do prep work in laptop while in flight.
I'm getting more and more annoyed with these baseline establishing stuff and ML models.

Thing I couldn't believe in this was the company's response
Most people, I think, don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?

When I first heard about it, thought the person was making stuff up. Then I got directed here - http://gemini3.spacelog.org/00:01:52:26/#log-line-6746. Also learnt that there was questioning about the incident by appropriations committee.
I tried this as an exercise when they were pushing Google+. Created a new account, was very cognizant to read through all settings and ensured that nothing from my old account can be traced back to this new one. I'm not joking when I say nothing from my old account and tracking: 1. I timed my move (to different city inside bayarea) 2. Changing ISP to wave from comcast 3. Bought new computer 4. Closed my old phone account and only started using work phone. Never used hotspot in my work phone 5. Even changed my coffee drinking habit + free wifi access locations from Starbucks to Peets. Only thing I couldn't change was my name + SSN. Serious paranoid level of things for my online life, but they still populated my digital life with same info and recommendations. After about 10-15 days of doing all this, I enabled Google+ (because at that time to use youtube account, I had to enable it). You know who the first contact recommendation that was there for me under my family - my brother who is living in a different country. I just gave up at that point. Probably I did something wrong during the setup (or) slipped and used the accounts for some period of time on same computer or browser (or) the data companies which sell my offline data have really rich data about me. Whatever the goof-up was, it was just disheartening to learn that after all that work my online privacy just lasted at the max 15days. I really wish there were better ways. Considering the number of security/data breaches (e.g. recent equifax one) I feel like, I have little to no control on things.
How does this work in civil engineering or construction in general. It is also a team based endeavor. The way I understand it only engineers or management needs to go through certification. Basically people who direct the project.
Bit curious about everyone's thought process with regards to credit freezing. I'm thinking about leaving the freeze in place and only do temporary unlock on as needed basis. Considering SSN and other info. compromised have longer life time, I really cannot think of any other option.
I imagine that security would be a concern for WU locations at or near refugee camps, considering they need to stock the place with cash. Anyone have insights about how they handle it?
Glad to know it is not just me.

* You have a good eye for design and always pay attention to the user experience of the product.

Same here. Tried accessing github and sourceforge didn't work, switched to google DNS, works like a charm now. Not sure how they are blocking the sites.
10 years! Congrats and thanks to all who made openstreetmaps possible.
