My understanding is that a book becomes a best seller only when it is pirated, sold on footpaths and at traffic lights.
I really think a good host is just a connector. I’m more traffic cop than star. My job is to get people on and off the program, and hopefully keep the audience entertained.
I’m just a skinny kid from Glennville, Georgia – 3,500 people, two traffic lights – going to the Hall of Fame.
Clear skies and clean air must become the new normal. We must re-design our cities, reclaiming the streets for cycling and walking, allowing people to walk along streets unpolluted by traffic.
Issues like security threats, declining traffic, high insurance premiums, rising fuel costs, among others, call for individual strengths to be aligned towards regional stability.
I have written to Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, asking him to consider ‘staggered office timings’ for government offices, which will help in decongesting road traffic during peak hours.
The truth is that stress doesn’t come from your boss, your kids, your spouse, traffic jams, health challenges, or other circumstances. It comes from your thoughts about these circumstances.
I always almost miss my flight. My routine is to constantly, no matter how bad or good the traffic is, to almost miss my flight.
I have been lucky; I have never been followed or harassed and I do tend to drive alone at night, but I’d always inadvertently opt for a route that has more traffic or has police or rangers stationed in the vicinity.
Sometimes, especially when you are in the traffic behind other cars, you get a lot of stuff – sand, oil – and if that mixes up that can be very bad for the vision sometimes.
The M6 is terrible and there are always accidents when there is a big highway with lots of traffic.
If SOPA were to pass, Imgur would not be able to exist. We survive on user-generated content. It would be impossible for us to police the amount of traffic we get for what is or isn’t copyrighted material. It’s just not possible.
Biographers use historians more than historians use biographers, although there can be two-way traffic – e.g., the ever-growing production of biographies of women is helping to change the general picture of the past presented by historians.
If I happen to have another baby or something like that, I’d probably move back to Louisiana. I do miss Louisiana. I miss the people. I miss the food. I miss the way of life, how everything is really simple. There’s no traffic like there is in L.A. It’s really nice.
Back when I was a young lad, I’m not condoning this, but there wasn’t as much traffic on the roads. My dad used to drive a Hillman Avenger, and he would take me on the road driving that.
Every Olympics, they make a big deal out of something – security… traffic… pollution… something – and it really doesn’t come true. For me, there’s never been a problem.
Traffic signals in New York are just rough guidelines.
My life experience confirms that the U.S. government frequently overclassifies data. But that’s a stronger argument for not dumping large volumes of government traffic on an unclassified personal server than it is a justification for retroactively challenging classification decisions.
The best part of visiting Calcutta is definitely the food and seeing my relatives who I don’t get to see often enough. The worst is the pollution and traffic.
It turns out umpires and judges are not robots or traffic cameras, inertly monitoring deviations from a fixed zone of the permissible. They are humans.
Good running is the ability to have a very well defined on-board computer. The ability to judge distances when running in traffic.
The last time I was pulled over was in 2005. I was going 55 in a 35 mile per hour zone – which I don’t understand because you can barely even idle at 35 miles per hour. Anyway, I was ordered to go to traffic school. It was an 8-hour class and really painful.
When I started making Minecraft videos, there was already a ton of them out there. But when I started introducing the storytelling element, which no one had done before, that’s when my Minecraft traffic started picking up.
If I complain about a traffic jam, I have no one to blame but myself.
In our economic structure, the people who work the hardest oftentimes make the least. I know migrant farm workers who do back-breaking labor every day, or Uber drivers and Lyft drivers who drive 10 to 12 hours a day in traffic. You can’t be lazy doing that kind of work.
I think a lot of the dull parts of first drafts come from a kind of over-managing, intrusive writer who wants to direct traffic. The idea of taking out the parts that the reader could infer is very liberating, and it’s weirdly part of radicalizing your work: it allows you to go to new places fast.
New Orleans is my kind of city. I think there’s a lot going on, but it’s also very calm. It’s a place where I can actually drive a car without being stuck in traffic for for 40, 50 minutes. It’s my kind of city. A lot going on but still calm.
Cameras can look down from on high and predict crop yields, traffic in Walmart parking lots, and travel patterns on Labor Day weekend. On the ground, they form the foundation of autonomous-driving systems.
Despite the debt, the traffic, the one-party rule, the taxes, and the eagerness of politicians to overwhelm small businesses and large corporate job producers with red tape and unnecessary regulations, the Golden State is still the most beautiful place to live and work in the United States.
I remember, when I was writing ‘Traffic,’ talking to top federal drug-enforcement officials and having them say they read it and found it very good and believable, except the scene where the girl describes her resume.
Smart cities are those who manage their resources efficiently. Traffic, public services and disaster response should be operated intelligently in order to minimize costs, reduce carbon emissions and increase performance.
When I turned 16, my dad made me sign a contract – he made us sign contracts for everything – that if I hit my car, I would be responsible for paying for it. I was in bumper-to-bumper traffic, and I tapped someone. It was so not a big deal, but I had to pay for it.
I know about traffic.
Adelaide’s charms are compelling. It’s not a huge place; the size is manageable, the traffic absurdly light.
Not only is a LinkedIn group free to create, it can enable you to offer your professional network a vibrant, useful information resource, all while driving traffic to your site and increasing sales.
I always get scared of traffic cops when I’m driving, like I freak out even when I’m not doing anything wrong. I still think they’re going to pull me over and arrest me.
The Internet is all about accessing entertainment. Realistically, 50 to 80 percent of all traffic is people downloading stuff for free. If you can turn that huge market share into something that you can monetize, even if it is just with ads, you will end up making more money than with all other revenue streams combined.
Los Angeles traffic is just the worst thing in the world. It throws off timing so much. However, it’s always warm and sunny. New Jersey has absolutely terrible weather, but the environment is really homey and chill.
Using Waze, they’re saving time on the road, money on gas, and emissions into the environment – a proposition they really can’t turn down. But more than that, drivers use Waze because they feel they are part of a community, working together to overcome the global headache that is traffic.
Everybody likes driving through scenic, winding roads. It’s hard to find people who like sitting in traffic in cities.
I understand how it feels to stand in a crowded train, to be stuck in congested traffic.
When people see a negative thing about me on a magazine, they’re gonna buy it. Every time some site writes something bad, all my followers go on there, and it brings them more traffic.
In the city a funeral is just an interruption of traffic; in the country it is a form of popular entertainment.
Advances in technology – hugely beneficial though they are – render us vulnerable in new ways. For instance, our interconnected world depends on elaborate networks: electric power grids, air traffic control, international finance, just-in-time delivery, and so forth.
