I think it mainly means that Google invests a lot more money in the quality of its navigation for cars than bicycles, meaning that they think it's pretty likely that the cycling directions might lead you into a place where it might not be a good idea to cycle.

What is the difference between USA and USB?

One connects to all your devices and accesses your data, the other is a hardware standard.

Of course you can use XML that way, but it is unnecessarily verbose and complex because you have to make decisions, like, whether to store things as attributes or as nested elements.

I stand by my statement that if you're saving things to a file you should probably use XML, if you're transferring data over a network you should probably use JSON.

IMHO: XML is a file format, JSON is a data transfer format. Reinventing things like RSS or SVG to use JSON wouldn't be helpful, but using XML to communicate between your app's frontend and backend wouldn't be either.

I've been thinking since my early teens if not earlier that copyright is an outdated law in the digital age. If this dispute leads to more people realizing this, good.

AFAIK they mostly try to stay away from humans. Humans are mostly their competitors and they can smell the presence of humans earlier than we can see them, so they can avoid us before we even know they are there.

There are quite a few videos on the Internet of wolves being very friendly to humans, but I don't think those are wild ones.

I think it originally did under old Unix, it was what /home is nowadays; "Unix System Resources" is a backronym.
