I was expecting a regular business card where the paper was so thin it flowed like fluid.
cvsv | 9 months ago | on: Waymo rides cost more than Uber or Lyft and people are paying anyway
The Waymo cars are really comfortable luxury Jaguars. For Uber and Lyft there are many price tiers, but to reliably get an equally or more comfortable car you probably need to book the black car options. I’m sure Uber / Lyft are way more expensive per mile than Waymo on that tier.
In addition to all the things people have pointed out that makes it a better experience.

Mostly a blog about data analysis in a niche field of biology.
In the very beginning it was a static website built in Hyde. Then after learning I could use MathJax in Tumblr I converted it to a Tumblr site with a custom URL.
Eventually after getting frustrated with squeezing things into Tumblr I got a Squarespace account and converted all the content to that.
Mostly I'm happy with Squarespace, though it involves a lot of manual typesetting to work around various unclear escaping that happens in the Markdown parsing. Still better than the hassle of hosting something custom for me.

Assuming filetype:docx is even worse?

I've seen it used "in the wild" in this publication: "Topographical transcriptome mapping of the mouse medial ganglionic eminence by spatially resolved RNA-seq" http://genomebiology.com/2014/15/10/486/abstract (pdf: http://linnarssonlab.org/pdf/Genome%20Biology%202014.pdf ) to cluster gene expression samples from mouse brain.
I'm working on a project where I'm using similar methods, but not from Ayasdi, to study cyclic phenomena in high-dimensional data.

The 2 or 1 lanes are separated by a metal fence. You can only overtake at the stretches of road where your direction have 2 lanes on one side of the fence.
They did feel a bit terrifying and constrained when we first got them. But now we're used to it.
I did nearly have an accident once when I tried to overtake a truck too close to the road switching from 1+2 to 2+1. Though that was due to me being really really stupid.
