An Ever-Changing Market Street
As we look towards a new future for Market Street under the Better Market Street Project, here's a brief look back in history at Market Street from the 1850s to 1970s.
From muddy cart tracks and plank walkways to wide brick sidewalks, transit lanes and bikeways, Market has been the ever-changing heart of our city since it was established in the mid 1800s.
First surveyed in 1847 by Jasper O'Farrell, Market Street was laid out in part to provide a transition between the two opposing street grids north and south of Market. Planned as the city's widest street, Market was meant to be San Francisco's main boulevard and quickly became one of the busiest thoroughfares in town. The photo above was taken circa 1856 looking west from 3rd Street, a time when downtown looked more like a small town than a city.
Long before hybrid diesel buses and e-scooters, Market Street was home to multiple cable car and horse car lines that provided service along the corridor and connections to farther-flung destinations. Soon after their invention in 1873, cable cars grew to dominate public transit in the last decades of the 19th Century. This 1905 view was taken looking west from the Ferry Building during a peak time for cable cars on Market.
The 1906 Earthquake and Fire completely changed the transit landscape of San Francisco and marked a complete change to Market Street's role in our transportation network. Following the disaster, every cable car line was removed from Market and the street was reconstructed for faster, more efficient electric streetcar operation. This 1907 shot shows workers just west of the Ferry Building working on abandoned cable car tracks that would soon be buried under the pavement to make way for electric streetcars.
During the 1930s and '40s, four tracks of streetcar traffic (two inbound, two outbound) dominated Market Street. Dubbed "the roar of the four" due to the noise created by dozens of hulking streetcars plying the road. Transit was certainly king of the road during this period of high ridership.
Following World War II, Market Street faced an increased traffic burden as personal car ownership climbed and transit ridership declined. Traffic on Market Street slowed down all travel modes and made for a hazardous pedestrian environment, especially during rush hours. Congestion became enough of a problem that in a 1963 report, City planners analyzed the possibility of moving all auto traffic off of Market and all streetcar traffic into an underground subway to rebuild the street as a pedestrian mall.
Perhaps the most significant change since 1907 came to Market in the 1960s and 70s with the construction of the Market Street Subway and BART tunnels and stations. Plans and proposals for a Market subway had been floated since at least 1912, but it wasn't until the BART proposal gained enough support to proceed that one version of that dream was realized.
Today, Market is transitioning to yet another incarnation of itself with more room for people walking, riding transit, and biking. Just one more chapter in the history of our city's most storied boulevard. Check out more photos of Market Street through the years on the SFMTA Photo Archive and follow us on Instagram!

Saturday, All Day
SF Botanical Garden (Golden Gate Park)
The annual bloom of over 200 magnolia trees typically reaches its peak from mid-January through March and this weekend will offer a prime to to view the stunning natural display at the SF Botanical Gardens in Golden Gate Park. While the tree branches are generally rather bare, they make for a more visually dazzling relief as the magnolia buds bloom into pink, magenta, and white flowers that provide some of the first pops of color of the spring season.
How to Get There on Muni: Riders may take the N Judah Line, as well as the 6 Haight/Parnassus, 7 Haight/Noriega, or 44 O'Shaughnessy routes to near the botanical garden.
Muni Service Notes: There are no planned service changes for this event.
Saturday, All Day
SF Zoo
Are you thinking about visiting the zoo? Were you also born in the Year of the Rat? Then this Saturday has you covered with a free zoo day! If you or a loved one were born in 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, or 2008, then admission to the San Francisco Zoo will be free in celebration of the Lunar New Year. In addition to the traditional zoo offerings, visitors this Saturday may also enjoy the Chinese lion and folk dance performances at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
How to Get There on Muni: Riders may take the L Taraval Line, as well as the 18 46th Avenue, 23 Monterey, 29 Sunset or the 57 Parkmerced routes to near the zoo.
Muni Service Notes: There are no planned service changes for this event.

SFMTA Travel Decision Survey 2019
The SFMTA completed its biennial Travel Decision Survey which estimates mode share for travelers whose trips either began, ended, or were within San Francisco. The mode share results from the 2019 Travel Decision Survey and other key data sources were shared at the SFMTA’s annual Board Workshop held on January 28. Sustainable trips are growing where investments are being made in our transportation network. Our Muni Forward Program is a great example of this, which we will explain in more detail. However, based on the overall direction that our mode share is trending, we need to do more to support accessible, long-term sustainable growth. The Travel Decision Survey indicates that the proportion of people choosing cars has increased. Less driving is fundamental to every one of our goals, making performance metrics like mode shift critical.
Mode share is a measure of the percentage of travelers using a particular type of transportation and is an indicator measuring how well San Franciscans can access their daily needs. Mode share is used to track progress towards Strategic Plan Objective 2.2: 80 percent sustainable trips by 2030.
Sustainable modes are defined as modes that support the city’s climate action goals and meet the long-term economic, social, and physical needs of the city. Because they directly support these goals, the SFMTA promotes walking, bicycling, and public transit, as well as those modes that complement their use. As mobility options shift and expand, trip categorizations have changed. In 2019, to align with the Strategic Plan, trips were categorized as sustainable or non-sustainable with the primary shift being TNC trips categorized as non-sustainable. For comparative purposes, all past data has been updated to reflect 2019 categories.
The Travel Decision Survey is a telephone survey conducted by research firm Corey Canapary & Galanis. Interviews of 840+ Bay Area residents took place from May through August 2019, capturing over 10,400 reported trips. The survey was conducted annually from 2012 to 2017 but switched to a biennial survey in 2017 to capture more significant changes in mode shift between survey administrations.
Key Findings
Results
Mode Share & Trip Data
In 2019, sustainable mode share fell to below 50 percent. Between 2017 and 2019, sustainable mode share dropped from 54 percent to 47 percent. Key drops occurred in transit (4 percent decrease) and walking (3 percent decrease) mode share and there were increases across all non-sustainable options including TNC usage, carpooling, and driving alone. Biking has seen incremental increases in mode share but has remained generally steady when rounding for analysis.
Raw trip numbers have also increased, with total daily trips reaching over 4.46 million trips in 2019 representing an increase of 250,000 trips since 2017. When using raw trip numbers, non-sustainable modes increased by over 400,000 trips between 2017 and 2019 while sustainable mode dropped by 155,000 trips, indicating we are gaining non-sustainable trips more than we are losing sustainable ones. Total daily trip estimates are calculated using SFCTA’s latest SF-CHAMP model.
Income & Mode Choices
In addition to trip purpose and mode, the survey collected basic demographic data including age, income, race, and gender. Respondents were given the option to decline to respond to demographic questions so demographic analysis does not represent a complete picture of the survey pool.
For surveying purposes and population representation, responses from within San Francisco were recorded by zip code and aggregated into five geographic zones based on proximity to downtown, travel behavior, and geography.
An analysis of responses by zone and income indicate that in general within San Francisco:
In the Bay Area at-large, sustainable mode use was higher at middle- and upper-income brackets.
$35,000 or less |
$35,001 - $75,000 |
$75,001 - $100,000 |
$100,001 - $200,000 |
Over $200,000 |
Total | |
San Francisco | 59% | 51% | 46% | 43% | 44% | 47% |
Outside San Francisco | 43% | 51% | 61% | 48% | 54% | 51% |
East Bay | 50% | 48% | 68% | 61% | 68% | 60% |
North Bay | 15% | 79% | 49% | 41% | 44% | 44% |
South Bay | 39% | 55% | 22% | 29% | 39% | 38% |
Network Improvements
Though transit mode share dropped between 2017 and 2019, a closer look at ridership changes within transit reveals a more encouraging story.
Over the past year, transit ridership has decreased nationally by 2 percent and regionally by 1 percent. While Muni ridership overall has decreased, Muni ridership has fared better and dropped with smaller margins than regional and national shifts.
Ridership has grown significantly where investments have been made in the transit system. Muni Rapid lines have seen significant positive growth as service improvements have been implemented and transit prioritization programs have expanded.

Launch HN: Deviceplane (YC W20) – Update and Manage Devices Running Linux Hey Hacker News! We're Josh, Sean, and Cyrus from Deviceplane ( https://ift.tt/2RRBjH2 ). Deviceplane is an open source device management tool for embedded systems, IoT, and edge computing. More specifically, we manage any device running Linux. These can be found in many different categories of hardware such as single-board computers (Raspberry Pis, Jetson Nanos), IoT devices/gateways, and servers running at the edge. The use cases for Linux devices span many different verticals/industries: robotics, consumer appliances, drones, autonomous vehicles, medical devices, and much more. Your first thought might be that a tool for managing robots and a tool for managing medical devices are quite different, but after talking to a variety of companies, we've found that the pain points across these industries are actually quite similar! Deviceplane solves the biggest infrastructure problems for these use cases: - Orchestrating and deployment of remote updates - Network connectivity and SSH access - Host and application monitoring - Device organization: naming, labeling, searching, and filtering of devices - Access and security controls Deviceplane is designed to support a variety of hardware, from small embedded devices to large x86 servers. Today’s tooling ecosystem suffers from being segmented by hardware size. For smaller devices, the Yocto project is popular. While it's good for building custom Linux installations, it has downsides for delivering applications. It's hard to understand, can take hours to compile, and solves only a portion of the problems present in device management. For larger devices, many companies seem to build and maintain their own internal tooling. We've seen everything from systems built around configuration management to scripts polling for new Debian packages in S3. These systems are usually brittle, fall short of a complete feature set, and drain precious engineering resources with their maintenance. We think Deviceplane is a great replacement for all of these. Not only is it suitable for all of these hardware sizes, it also presents a way to standardize the tooling across them. One of our goals with Deviceplane is to make device management more accessible to developers. To do this, we build on technologies and concepts popularized in cloud deployments: - Applications are packaged as containers and defined in a format resembling Docker Compose - Updates can be rolled out and tested gradually by using "canary" deployments - An intuitive and scriptable CLI that will feel familiar to Docker and Kubernetes users Deviceplane integrates with your device by running a lightweight static binary via your system supervisor. We can be used with nearly any Linux distro, which means you can continue using Ubuntu, Raspbian, a Yocto build, or whatever else fits your needs. Deviceplane is completely open source. The code for everything from the agent to the backend and UI can be found on GitHub ( https://ift.tt/2uxqK40 ). We put a lot of effort into making our open source version as easy as possible to run. You can even run the backend of Deviceplane with a single Docker command: docker run -d --restart=unless-stopped -p 8080:8080 deviceplane/deviceplane For more information on hosting Deviceplane yourself, check out our docs ( https://ift.tt/2GxnNmM ). If you'd rather jump right into managing devices, we have a hosted version available at https://ift.tt/37BqVtt . Lastly, we'd love to hear more about your experiences managing devices! What have your biggest pain points been, and what infrastructure do you wish existed to solve those? Either comment here, or shoot us an email anytime at founders@deviceplane.com.

The Cow Palace will be for the dogs this weekend at the annual Golden Gate Kennel Club Dog Show at the Cow Palace. Photo: Flickr/aforonda
Saturday and Sunday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Cow Palace
The Golden Gate Kennel Club Dog Show returns this weekend to the Cow Palace and will feature 1.000 dogs from over 100 different breeds competing in the largest benched dog show on the West Coast. Anyone attending this event can meet and get to know the dogs (and their owners!) at the show at special benches organized by breed where you can learn more about the breeds, get training tips and more.
How to Get There on Muni: Riders may take the 8 Bayshore or the 9 San Bruno routes to the Cow Palace for this event.
Muni Service Notes: There are no planned service changes for this event.
Saturday, 12:30 p.m.
Market Street East of Civic Center
The annual Walk for Life, which draws thousands of participants each year, will begin at 12:30 p.m. with a rally in the Civic Center/UN Plaza. At 1:30 p.m., the walk will move east on Market to Justin Herman Plaza.
How to Get There on Muni: Anyone interested in attending the march can get to the Civic Center via any Muni Metro line to Civic Center station, the F Market and Wharves Line, as well as the 6 Haight/Parnassus, 7 Haight/Noriega, 9 San Bruno, 14 Mission/14R Mission Rapid, 19 Polk or the 21 Hayes routes.
Muni Service Notes: The F Market and Wharves Line as well as the 1 California, 2 Clement, 5 Fulton, 6, 7, 8 Bayshore, 9, 10 Townsend, 12 Folsom/Pacific, 14/14R, 19, 21, 27 Bryant, 30 Stockton, 31 Balboa, 38 Geary/38R Geary Rapid, and 45 Union/Stockton routes will have reroutes during this event. Delays and extended wait times may be possible during the event.
Remember that you can take Muni for the entire day for a single $5 fare. The new $5 Day Pass, available on MuniMobile®, is part of Muni’s recent fare changes. The pass is intended to encourage a safe, convenient way to pay your fare and quickly board Muni vehicles, which reduces overall travel time for everyone. The $5 Day Pass is Muni bus, rail and historic streetcars only.

Update: Car-Free Market Street and FAQ
As you may have already heard (or read in our previous blog post), starting on Wednesday, January 29 some of the busiest sections of Market Street are going “Car Free” to increase safety and improve Muni. That means no private vehicles will be allowed to travel along Market Street eastbound from 10th to Main or westbound from Steuart to Van Ness. Traffic will still be able to cross Market, but there will be no turns onto the street in the car-free area.
Our crews are hard at work getting the street prepared and have already installed signs that will be unveiled on January 29th. In addition, we’ve created new pedestrian safety zones, added new loading zones and are extending the Muni lanes down Market Street.
Crews installed signs alongside streets in preparation for the changes on January 29. Most signs were put up and will be covered up (or “bagged”) until next week when the car-free Market begins.
Red Muni lanes getting installed along 2nd Street near Market. As a part of the quick-build, Muni lanes are being extended east from 3rd to Main and on the last half-block of 2nd Street to improve transit in busy areas.
A new khaki-colored “painted safety zone” recently added at Drumm and Market will reduce conflicts and shrink street crossing distances for people walking.
A new bicycle turn lane and bike box getting installed at Hyde/8th Street. In case you want to get into all the details, we compiled a set of some of our most frequently asked questions below.
1. What is Better Market Street?
Better Market Street is the City’s multi-agency project to transform 2.2 miles of Market Street – from Octavia Boulevard to Steuart Street – enhancing safety and accessibility, improving transit performance, replacing aging infrastructure, and revitalizing the corridor’s streetscape. The goal of the project is to revitalize Market Street and reestablish the street as the premier cultural, civic and economic center of San Francisco and the Bay Area while bringing the transit system up to date.
There were 123 injury collisions on Market Street between Octavia and Steuart in the year 2018. Since 2014, there have been an average of more than 100 per year with 75 percent involving people walking or biking. You can find more info about the full Better Market Street project here.
2. What does “quick-build” mean?
A quick-build project consists of parking and traffic modifications that are fast and relatively cheap to implement. Examples include painted safety zones, bike lanes, adjustments to parking regulations, parking and loading changes, changes to the configuration of traffic lanes. Crews typically use materials such as paint, traffic signs, traffic delineators, and traffic signal changes. Quick-build projects do not involve large capital construction elements since those involve much longer design, higher cost contracting, and construction phases.
3. How many people use Market Street today?
Market is our city’s busiest street for people walking, biking and riding transit. Currently, about 200 to 400 cars drive in the peak direction on Market Street during rush hour. These changes will require those cars to find an alternative route while benefitting all the people walking, biking and using transit:
500,000 people walk on Market Street daily.
200 buses an hour during peak times.
650 people per hour ride bikes on Market Street during rush hour.
75,000 daily transit riders above ground.
4. What is going to change with the quick-build project and when?
Better Market’s Vision Zero quick-build phase will start in January 2020 and includes:
Beginning Wednesday, January 29th:
Making Market Street car-free eastbound from 10th to Main, and westbound from Steuart to Van Ness. Vehicles will still be allowed to cross Market street at intersections.
Similar car-free restrictions on Second Street (between Stevenson and Market) and Steuart Street (northbound between Mission and Market; southbound travel unchanged) to facilitate making Market Street car-free.
Peak hour loading restrictions on Market Street to reduce conflicts between people on bicycles, transit and commercial vehicles
No southside loading in the eastbound direction (towards the Ferry Building) on weekdays between 6:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.
No northside loading in the westbound direction (towards Twin Peaks) on weekdays between 3:00 pm and 7:30 pm.
Prohibiting right runs onto Valencia from eastbound Market Street (Friday 1/31/2020)
Completed:
Over 100 new cross-street passenger and commercial loading zones to accommodate safe loading.
Ongoing through Spring 2020:
Extending existing transit-only lane east from Third to Main Street, the segment of Market with the most transit service, and making it Muni-only (taxis and non-Muni buses will no longer be allowed).
Converting the existing red bus/taxi-only lane to Muni-only between 9th and 3rd streets.
Installing painted safety zones at eight intersections to make crossing the street safer and shorter.
Adding bicycle intersection improvements at Eighth, Page, Battery, and Valencia streets.
Beginning Summer 2020 and later:
Changes to sections of Ellis and Jones streets near Market Street to improve safety and vehicle movement.
5. Where is the car-free area?
Private vehicles will be prohibited on Market Street eastbound from 10th to Main and westbound from Steuart to Van Ness. The car-free area is shown in the red areas below along with other changes shown by blue arrows.
6. Will I still be able to use Market Street to access Franklin and Gough?
Yes. The Quick-Build phase-only restricts traffic east of 10th or Van Ness. The future capital project would extend the turn restrictions west to 12th Street, but will not affect access to Franklin or Gough.
7. Will there be enforcement?
San Francisco Police and SFMTA Parking Control Officers will be helping to call attention to the new restrictions and directing traffic. Vehicles violating the restrictions could be cited for violating CVC 22101d (violating an official traffic control device) which carries a $238 fine and adds one point to a DMV record.
8. What sort of outreach are you doing?
Our teams have discussed various proposals with the community for years during the design phases for Better Market Street. We hosted 5 rounds of large public meetings, presented to dozens of groups and studied the corridor extensively. Outreach specific to the quick-build, car-free area included: social media, signs in parking garages, electronic signs on/above downtown streets, stakeholder meetings, multi-lingual flyers, door-to-door discussions, media stories, and messages on electronic NextBus signs in all Muni shelters. We also worked with all the app-based mapping companies to ensure they deliver accurate routes that avoid Market Street in the car-free area.
9. How will Quick-Build improve accessibility?
The private vehicle restrictions on Market Street and newly painted safety zones at select intersections will reduce pedestrian conflicts with vehicles. We also have provided additional loading zones on cross streets – over 100 new loading zones, including 23 new white zones and 8 new blue zones. The vast majority of the loading zones on cross streets are for general commercial loading (unlike the ones on Market, which are restricted to six-wheel vehicle restrictions) and can be used for up to three minutes for passenger loading. Maps of all the new and existing zones can be found here: SFMTA.com/BetterMarketStreet
10. How much will it cost?
The quick-build phase is estimated to cost approximately $3.5 million and is funded through local general funds.
11. Which vehicles will be allowed after private vehicles are restricted?
Transit, paratransit, taxis, commercial delivery vehicles and emergency vehicles (Transportation Network Companies such as Uber and Lyft are not permitted). All vehicles would continue to be allowed to access Franklin and Gough streets.
12. Are there any exceptions for vehicles with disability placards?
Vehicles with disability placards are not exempt from these restrictions unless they have commercial plates. It should be noted that there are not currently any blue zones or other legal parking available for vehicles with disability placards on Market Street, so Better Market Street does not add any new parking restrictions for people with disabilities.
13. Will deliveries still be allowed on Market Street?
Yes, as long as the delivery vehicles have commercial license plates. As is the case today, most of the loading zones on Market Street require vehicles to have at least six wheels (big trucks and buses). In addition, there will be new restrictions on deliveries during the peak-hours in the peak-direction to improve safety:
Southside loading in the eastbound direction (towards the Ferry Building) would not be allowed on weekdays from 6:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.
Northside loading in the westbound direction (towards Twin Peaks) would not be allowed between 3:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
14. How are you coordinating with Uber and Lyft and other Transportation Network Companies (TNCs)?
TNCs are typically not commercial vehicles, and as such, they will not be allowed to drive on Market Street. However, we have coordinated with Uber and Lyft to have the white zones added to their apps, so that passengers wishing to have a pick-up on Market Street will be redirected to the closest cross-street white zone for their pick-up.
15. With cars no longer allowed to travel on Market Street, will traffic get worse on Mission Street and other parallel streets?
We did extensive traffic modeling to understand the impacts of removing cars from Market Street. Currently, about 200 to 400 cars drive on Market Street during peak hours, depending on the block and direction. Because streets north of Market and those in SoMa have grid layouts, people driving have extensive choices about which street to take, and will not all be diverted to the same street. We anticipate about 100 cars per hour will be shifted to Mission Street, which will not significantly impact general traffic or transit on Mission Street. In addition, the turn restrictions will reduce congestion at intersections, as cars turning onto Market currently block traffic on cross streets as they wait for a gap in pedestrians crossing to complete their turn. The turn restrictions will aim to improve traffic flow as well as pedestrian safety.
16. When was the project approved?
The Better Market Street project’s Environmental Impact Report was certified by the Planning Commission on October 10, 2019. The Public Works Hearing was held on October 11. The SFMTA Board approved the project on October 15, 2019.
17. Quick-Build is exciting, but when will the bigger construction project start?
The capital project will be built in phases, with each of the five phases estimated to be $150-200M. Much of the costs are state of good repair work, including rail and trackway replacement, the overhead wire system, traffic signals, repaving, streetlights, sewer, and water. Funding for Phase 1 has been secured through several existing local sources, including the voter-approved Prop A General Obligation Bond and Proposition K (formerly OBAG), as well as some federal funding through a BUILD transportation grant. The Better Market capital construction project is currently in design, with the first phase between 5th and 8th Streets anticipated to start construction in late 2020 or early 2021. We have more information on the full capital project construction and design available.

HeadsUp: Nightly Subway Maintenance Starting January 26
The subway will be closing early each night at 9:30 p.m. starting January 26 and continuing for approximately one week for extended maintenance hours. Bus substitution service will connect to all stops.
On most nights, our teams have about two hours to get work done between evening and morning service. In order to complete critical maintenance tasks that cannot be completed during normal windows, we are planning this week of early subway closures, so crews have more hours each night to do vital work. This is our ongoing effort to maintain the subway infrastructure to ensure safety and reliability. The last early subway closures for maintenance took place in August 2019.
When the subway closes, buses will run above ground to connect all stops through the normal end of train service. Owl service will remain unchanged. Trains will start regular morning service each day.
Inbound N Judah and outbound J Church trains will use the accessible stop entering the Duboce Portal to serve customers needing the ramp.
Plan extra travel time when riding Muni during subway closure. Regular bus fares will apply on bus shuttles and valid transfers will be accepted.

Show HN: World's Biggest Crossword App Hi, we (two man company) have just release what we think is the world's biggest mobile crossword (single grid of 103x103) for iOS and Android. It plays pretty well all the way down to iPhone 5 (a wee bit small to be honest!). Looking for any feedback especially around any novel (read cheap) ideas on the marketing/promotion front. The retention on the app is awesome once people get started, but as it is a single grid the life time value is pretty limited. I think part of the appeal is the fact you can finish it so it is a mixed pleasing.

Show HN: A batched, concurrent wrapper for OpenAI gym library Hello HN, new user here, so please let me know if I break some rules. Currently I've been working on training reinforcement learning agents, and OpenAI gym, while is great, runs only one agent at a time. Hence I decided to extend it. I built a wrapper around OpenAI gym, such that it now runs several environments concurrently. All while (mostly) having the same call signature as OpenAI gym. And it is published to PyPI for anyone interested. For more details, please visit: https://ift.tt/3atLwC3 Feedback really appreciated! Have a good day everyone! January 21, 2020 at 03:24AM

Show HN: Mapipedia: Platform to show your data on maps and sharing with others Mapipedia is a web platform I've created to make it easy for people to share goespatial time series data and display it on animated maps. There's also a social media component that allows you to write comments, follow, share and like data sets. You can also download the CSV data and embed animations into your own websites. I initially posted about Mapipedia in March 2019. I've taken a lot of the feedback on board and done a major overhaul of the site as well adding a lot of new features. I'd appreciate some feedback on overall look and feel (on mobile and desktop - there were problems on mobile previously). However it is best viewed in Chrome on desktops becuase it looks better on larger screens. I've also had some people say the website is blocked but have not been able to figure out why. If you have any thoughts on that it would be appreciated. The site also crashed last time I posted here so I'm wanting to test changes for robustness as well. The main home page is https://mapipedia.com Here are some links to try (press Play to start the animation): https://ift.tt/3avI8Xa https://ift.tt/3ayPoSr https://ift.tt/2raRyWi https://ift.tt/2NMg9ZL https://ift.tt/36cpnVl (Cook's first voyage sailed him around the world) https://ift.tt/36cpr7x https://ift.tt/2RciKOv Thanks for your help!

Show HN: Google Sheets add-on to compare text, fuzzy-match, highlight duplicates I created an add-on for Google Sheets called Flookup, and it comes both as a free version and a VERY AFFORDABLE paid version. At its core, Flookup is a fuzzy matching add-on that helps you manage text that is less than a 100% match. Beyond that it can be used to: 1. Search for and match data regardless of whether it contains typos. 2. Highlight and delete duplicates duplicates even if the data has mismatched text. 3. Calculate the percentage similarity between strings. 4. Extract unique values from any column based on percentage similarity. 5. Sum and find the average of numbers based on corresponding partial matches. Because of its versatility, Flookup can be used to return the best match, the next best match, etc. until the minimum percentage similarity is reached. This feature avoids weaknesses other fuzzy matching algorithms have because it safely hands power to the user, and I believe the user is the best judge of which data is a match or not. Another great feature Flookup has is that it can be used to combine lookup values. This is particularly helpful when your data has many similar strings and you want to add extra information to your lookup value in order to increase the specificity of your query. Finally, Flookup is good for more than just fuzzy matching; it is the improved replacement for VLOOKUP and INDEX/MATCH that you have been looking for.

Show HN: Remake – A server-rendered framework for building CRUD web apps fast I wanted to have a framework that would let me build web apps faster than ever before. I didn’t care if it was a little hacky or didn’t use best practices — I wanted to be able to get a multi-user application out the door in hours instead of months. I researched the CMS space for months before deciding to build something from scratch. My goal was to be 90% done building a web app once I had the static HTML and CSS finished. I’m not a big fan of building out API endpoints over and over again for every new app, fiddling with a database, or doing lots of config. What I ended up with was a syntax that lets developers tag HTML elements as containing data (i.e. objects or arrays), thereby transforming the tree structure of the DOM into a JSON tree that can be saved to the current user's account. It took a while after that to evolve the syntax and make it easy to use. I call the project Remake[0] and I’ve been working on it non-stop for the past year. After a failed Product Hunt launch[1], I kept going and managed to get my first few dozen users. I live stream my progress on Twitch[2] (Thursdays and Fridays, 12pm EST) and I’m consistently able to build full CRUD web apps within hours — projects that would’ve easily taken me weeks or months before. A bonus that HN might appreciate: Remake is a server-rendered framework, so the front-end library isn't even necessary or loaded for 90% of users. Only logged in users who can edit the current page need to have JS enabled.

SF Restaurant Week: January 22nd-31st
It’s once again time for San Francisco Restaurant Week, where some of the best neighborhood restaurants thoughtfully create prix-fixe menus that highlight some of their signature tastes or take the opportunity to feature a new dish. It’s a great week of restaurants strutting their creativity to give you, the diner, a peek at the food to tempt you to return.
This year SF Restaurant Week will feature two-course lunch and three or more course dinner menus at different prices determined by the restaurant:
Lunch (2+ course): $15.15 & $25.25
Dinner (3+ course): $40.40 & $65.65 menus
Visit the SF Restaurant Week listings to choose by neighborhood or cuisine preference—menus are also included.
You may want to get yourself out via the 5 Fulton to experience the neighborhood gem Cassava where they are known for an exceptional Japanese breakfast of miso soup, market fish, pickles and the most sublime soft shell-poached egg in broth you may ever experience—right there in the Balboa District.
Grab a colleague and hope on one of the vintage street cars (Line F) for an extended lunch at Starbelly over in the Castro for that fried chicken po’boy with jalapeno and radicchio slaw.
Dinner options are wide-ranging: you can’t go wrong at Blue Plate on Mission Street, easily accessible by the 14, J Church and 49. Offerings include the indulgent black truffle gnocchi, blue plate meatloaf or egg tagliorni with lemon. An exceptional value can be found at China Live, a 30,000 square foot culinary and cultural destination in the heart of Chinatown.
Whatever way you get there SF Restaurant Week offers Mexican, Indian, Italian, Caribbean and all sorts of tasty delights for lunch or dinner. Check out a new neighborhood and support a small business between January 22-31.
SF Restaurant Week, January 22-31, features two-course lunch and three or more course dinner menus.
Adaptive Scooters for People with Disabilities
We are committed to a transportation system that serves everyone. However, the recent and rapid introduction of new transportation services has not always included all San Francisco residents and visitors, especially people with disabilities. As an agency, we are actively shaping our approach to emerging mobility services and technologies to ensure that they are accessible to all. That is why we were a proud partner in last summer’s adaptive bike-share pilot and, when we established a permanent permit program for Powered Scooter Share, we required that all permittees develop an adaptive scooter pilot program to make shared micromobility more accessible to people with disabilities. Starting January 15, 2020, four unique adaptive scooter pilot programs, with a total of 50 adaptive scooters, are now available to the public through our permitted scooter operators, Jump, Lime, Scoot, and Spin.
A program of this kind is very new and we do not have many peer programs to look toward for guidance. Because of this, the SFMTA did not require applicants to deploy a specific vehicle type or service model. Rather, permittees were instructed to develop vehicles and corresponding services that are based on input from people with disabilities. Below we have prepared a summary of each permittee’s respective pilot program. As these programs may change over time, we encourage you to visit each company’s website for current updates.
From the pilots, we hope to better understand the device types, fleet sizes, and program models that will best fit the needs of a diverse group of riders with disabilities who have not had access to the standard shared scooter program. Permittees are expected to actively solicit input and feedback on their pilots and iterate on their initial vehicle and program designs in order to best meet community needs. Our learnings throughout the pilot will help to inform any permanent program or requirements moving forward.
In addition to providing equal access to all services, we are always committed to ensuring that scooters and other shared micromobility vehicles do not endanger pedestrians or otherwise hamper accessibility of the streets and sidewalks. We are closely monitoring operator performance so that we can enforce and, when needed, void operator contracts. Our enforcement team is out in the field tracking scooter activity and responding to complaints. Investigators cite shared scooters that do not comply with our parking guidelines and notify scooter companies of sidewalk riding. Permittees must investigate and resolve all sidewalk riding reports. We are also working with 311 to improve processes and make it easier for the public to make complaints about both improper parking and riding.
We want to hear from you and look forward to hosting formal opportunities for feedback during the mid-point of the pilot. In the meantime, you may submit a comment through our Regulated and Emerging Mobility Comment Form or through 311. And, if you are a resident or regular visitor to San Francisco and have a disability, we encourage you to complete this survey on your experiences, perceptions, and priorities around emerging mobility services. Respondents are eligible to win a $50 Safeway gift card from the survey administrator, UCLA.
