I'm not sure if the option is in the Fi app or the Hangouts app, but I allowed Hangouts to manage my SMS on the phone. It behaves as my Google Voice number did before: SMS (as hoped) and phone calls (not so useful in practice) pop up in Gmail as well as on the phone.
Oh yay, more chat apps from Google. I had finally hit a nice point of integration: using Hangouts with Project Fi means I got somewhat close to the iMessage experience (at least as far as being able to send/receive SMS from my computer). Clearly the integration wasn't great, and the Hangouts app is badly in need of work, but it's a shame to see that even that limited functionality is going away in favor of more fragmentation.
What brings you to Senegal? I did notice over the past few years that OSM improved significantly in Dakar, although I didn't get to contribute much.
Great news, don't forget west Africa!
And even in Virginia, it differs at the county level. You don't need to get your car tested in southwest VA.
Wow, great tool, thanks!
This looks like a great project, and nice to see them supporting OSM. Google gets (rightfully) lauded for offering quite good maps[1] of much of the developing world, but I recently checked out the OSM map[2] of the city I live in (Dakar, Senegal) and it's just as good, if not better. Bing Maps[3], by comparison, thinks there are 2 roads in the entire city.

This looks very promising! Definitely going to give it a test run. Thanks for sharing.
Probably not. Too much money and power invested in F1, and even despite the boring Tilkedromes that have come to dominate the schedule, it'd be hard for Formula E to compete on quality of tracks. More likely, we'll see a continued progression towards increased use of hybrid systems - more powerful KERS, bigger batteries, decreased fuel tank size - which might at least cause Formula E to become a useful feeder series for drivers (perhaps if the driving style starts to become dramatically different?) and especially for engineers.

Another vote for SAW (and SAW Vol 2) as great ambient productivity music.
Also I'm a big fan of M83 Digital Shades Vol 1 for this purpose.
What really differentiates data science from econometrics, other than (I guess) the type of data being analysed?
