Levi’s and JJJJound Are Focused, in Their Lane, and Flourishing

Levi’s and JJJJound Are Focused, in Their Lane, and Flourishing

Published by skeptic

Levi’s is on a collaborative hot streak. Fresh off a completely sold-out, delightfully bonkers tie-up with Kiko Kostadinov, the first name in denim is back at it again, this time tapping the good folks at JJJJound to apply their trademark sensibilities to a 10-piece assortment of jeans, tees, jackets and accessories, all of it available right this very moment. (And probably not much longer.) Levi’s x JJJJound Plaid Shirt Levi’s x JJJJound Suede Coach Jacket In case you were wondering, the duo’s second-ever collaboration hits, and hits hard. And it does so in exactly the subtle, perplexingly simple way that has made JJJJound one of the most coveted collaborators of the internet era. A large degree of that reputation is due to the Canadian brand’s ability to tweak instantly recognizable designs just enough to render them new—inspiring no small amount of buzz in the process. Levi’s x JJJJound 501 ’93 Jeans Levi’s x JJJJound 501 ’93 Jeans The Levi’s 1993 501s, for example, are available in three blink-and-you’ll-miss-it shades of black that whisper at their …

Tesla’s Full Self-Driving Still Doesn’t Even Work in a Single Lane Tunnel

Tesla’s Full Self-Driving Still Doesn’t Even Work in a Single Lane Tunnel

Published by José

The company is hoping to start “using a driver assistance tool by the end of this year.” Three Steps Back Forget open roads. Tesla still hasn’t figured out how to get its vehicles to autonomously drive through Elon Musk’s tunneling venture The Boring Company’s single-lane tunnel. That’s despite the mercurial CEO making vast promises about his EV maker’s progress on solving what it calls “Full Self-Driving.” Musk made a big deal out of unveiling a “robotaxi” later this year, but whether such a vehicle could even ferry visitors from one part of the Las Vegas Convention Center to the other remains to be seen. As the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports, the tunneling venture is only starting to consider helping out the underground fleet’s human drivers by assisting — not replacing — them. There’s still no timeline for when full autonomy will be implemented — which isn’t exactly confidence-inducing, considering all the cars have to do is drive down an unoccupied, single-lane tunnel. “Hopefully this will get started just lightly, using a driver assistance tool by …

FCC Closes ‘Fast Lane’ Loophole in Final Net Neutrality Order

FCC Closes ‘Fast Lane’ Loophole in Final Net Neutrality Order

Published by skeptic

The Federal Communications Commission released its final net neutrality order on Tuesday, and it includes a few edits to the draft version ensuring that internet service providers can’t sneakily violate fast-lane bans. Speaking to WIRED on Tuesday, a senior FCC official said that the final net neutrality order has been updated to ensure that paid fast lanes in consumer-facing products violate the agency’s rules. The official also said that providers couldn’t mask consumer products as enterprise ones to skirt the rules, either. In April, the FCC reinstated net neutrality rules that would reclassify broadband, once again, as a “common carrier” service under Title II of the Telecommunications Act. By reinstating net neutrality, the agency can prevent internet service providers, like AT&T and Verizon, from blocking, throttling, or offering pay to play fast lanes to online services. But many critics feared the draft rules were outdated and didn’t account for new developments in technologies like 5G and, more specifically, “network slicing.” Telecom executives have argued that network slicing, or the act of chopping a network into …

Traffic moving on California highway after lane collapsed during storm

Traffic moving on California highway after lane collapsed during storm

Published by skeptic

Traffic was moving again Sunday on California’s scenic Highway 1 after a section of the coastal route collapsed during an Easter weekend storm, forcing closures and stranding motorists near Big Sur, authorities said. The collapse occurred amid rain Saturday afternoon near Rocky Creek Bridge about 27 kilometers south of Monterey, sending chunks of asphalt tumbling into the ocean from the southbound side of the two-lane roadway. The highway was closed in both directions in the mountainous area of the central coast as engineers assessed the damage, said the California Department of Transportation, or Caltrans. “We are working on a plan to get motorists evacuated from the area,” the California Highway Patrol said Saturday. Officials didn’t say how many people were stranded. By Sunday afternoon, crews had determined that travel in the northbound lane was safe, and authorities began escorting motorists around the damaged section. The famous highway has seen frequent closures because of collapses, mud flows and rockslides during severe weather. The slow-moving storm dumped heavy rain at lower elevations and more than 30 centimeters …

Multi-million pound cycle lane has crippled trade and killed village, locals say

Multi-million pound cycle lane has crippled trade and killed village, locals say

Published by Sam

A new multi-million pound cycle lane has “killed” a village by crippling trade, local shopkeepers have claimed. Residents and business owners say the bike path in Castleton, Greater Manchester, is putting customers who can no longer park on the road. The dedicated space for cyclists on Manchester Road took around 18 months to build as part of a wider £4.4m scheme of road improvements. Source link

‘Love is like crack’: Rye Lane star Vivian Oparah on romcoms, Emma Stone and her zany new comedy | Television

Published by skeptic

How does it feel when, at 27 years old, with minimal acting training and only one feature film under your belt, you find yourself up against Emma Stone and Margot Robbie for best leading actress at the Baftas? “It’s insane, I feel mad,” says Vivian Oparah, the nominated star of last year’s hit indie romcom Rye Lane. “But I also still feel incredibly normal.” Oparah is slightly sleep-deprived when we meet in a cafe, in between her first time on Woman’s Hour and heading home to north London, where she has always lived. Ordering a coffee within seconds of sitting down, she perks up and feels warmly familiar, taking the time to chat about holidays, dating and Netflix’s One Day, which she is too scared to watch, because Normal People destroyed her and “love is like crack – it’s not a normal experience to be dealing with that level of emotion all the time”. It’s surprising to hear this reaction to romance. Although we’re here to talk about her freakishly fun new TV series, Dead …

Furious locals in UK town blast council’s ‘wonky’ new cycle lane that cost £13.4m | UK | News

Furious locals in UK town blast council’s ‘wonky’ new cycle lane that cost £13.4m | UK | News

Published by skeptic

Furious locals have blasted a council after a section of its flagship £13.4m cycle route was left looking “wonky”. Residents in the trendy Manchester suburb of Chorlton-Cum-Hardy have been driven mad by the ‘dangerous’ crooked 0.7mile stretch of the cycle lane – that took a year to build. And a bizarre-looking ‘cyclops’ (Cycle Optimised Protected Signals) junction further down the road has also left motorists scratching their heads. The path – which alone cost £2.3m – looks almost nothing like the glossy ‘Dutch style’ plans laid out roughly six years ago when the route was first unveiled by council chiefs. And locals now fear the bike path on Barlow Moor Road, where cyclists are separated from cars by a series of raised blocks, will cause mayhem for road users. One cyclist fumed on Facebook: “If you raise the curbs and put objects in the way of cycle[s] it’s more dangerous as we have no way to get out the way if there is a car coming for you.” Another resident added: “The public have been …

High-speed rail is coming to the Central Valley. Residents see a new life in the fast lane

High-speed rail is coming to the Central Valley. Residents see a new life in the fast lane

Published by skeptic

FRESNO, Calif. —  The piling rig was in position, ready to drive a concrete pillar 40 feet into the ground. Just beyond the rig on this winter afternoon, trucks and cars continued streaming down State Road 198 in Hanford, separated from the construction site by white dividers. Then, the pile-driving began. Foot by foot, the rig’s hammer slammed the pillar into the ground with the rhythmic beat of a metronome. With every blow, the ground shook and exhaust spewed. The beam would be one more in a network of pillars pounded deep into the earth to create the foundation for a high-speed rail line that in a matter of years will glide along tracks above the state highway, launching a new era in California’s Central Valley. From earth-moving equipment to heavy trucks ferrying massive beams and bulldozers clearing piles of debris, construction related to California’s high-speed rail project is evident across the San Joaquin Valley. Farther north, crews worked atop a viaduct that will carry the high-speed line above existing freight tracks that cut across the …

Rachel Brosnahan Teases Her ‘Feisty’ Lois Lane in ‘Superman: Legacy’ (Exclusive)

Rachel Brosnahan is teasing what fans can expect of her Lois Lane in James Gunn‘s upcoming Superman: Legacy film.  While speaking with ET’s Deidre Behar on the carpet at the Critics Choice Awards on Sunday, the 33-year-old House of Cards alum described her iteration of the iconic comic book character in three words.  “Feisty, dare I say, marvelous, and fiercely intelligent,” Brosnahan, who appeared at the CCAs as a nominee for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, said.  It was announced back in June that the Emmy-winning actress would take on the role of the Daily Planet journalist after months of speculation that she was in the audition process for the part. She confirmed the news herself in an Instagram post, sharing a screenshot announcing her casting alongside David Corenswet, who will play Clark Kent.  “????…✈️…????????????????????????????????” she posted alongside a screenshot of an article detailing the casting, clearly stunned beyond words.  As for how things are going on set, the actress said she has to remain tight-lipped for the time being but that she is excited to contribute …
