  1. Tried in Luxemburg. Result: EPIC FAIL! on How To Build Roads To Control How Fast You Drive · · Score: 1

    They tried that in Luxemburg. They added a lot of rotaries, and made the road in all curving fall off to the outside.
    Of course this made driving much more dangerous, since people did not want to slow down, but drive normal. Which caused massive centrifugal forces, so that you had the feeling of the car nearly tipping over, and a hard time keeping it on the track.
    I think the number of accidents rose dramatically because of this.

    Why not just build roads that you can drive safer?? You know, wider, with banked curvature, etc.

    Many patients are incapable of communicating.

    I’m sorry, and many delusionals will hate me for this, but if they can’t even communicate anymore, because they are so delirious... then why are they still artificially kept alive?
    I know that I wouldn’t want to “live” that way... if it sill can be called life...

    Imagine it. You can’t talk. You pee and shit yourself. You sit there all day long with nothing to do. (What can you do in that state?) You get crappy canteen “food”... and you have to endure the endless nothingness of that experience...
    I know things that are worse than death. And this is clearly one of them.

    If anyone ever sees me in that state, and doesn’t kill me, I’ll devote the rest of my existence to killing him, for being so cruel. But OK, I will very likely have jumped out of an airplane without a parachute, before it gets that bad.

    by using Google's free products

    They are very far from free. All that surveillance has a worth. And you paying with it. Or else they wouldn’t do it. After all they are a profit-oriented company.
    I have no problem with companies offering such deals. And if people take it, that’s their thing, even if I find it stupid.

    But the thing is: They are deliberately not open about all the tracking. Sure, they “mention” it. Somewhere on a sheet of paper, in a safe, in a basement somewhere. (Or rather the digital equivalent.) It’s plainly obvious that we and they know that this is a important thing that you want to have in large red letters on the main page, saying “WARNING: Larch’s vomit!”
    And it’s also plainly obvious that they deliberately hide it away, to trick you. They know it, you know it, we know it. But of course they will make up some fake reasoning like “It’s only to offer you this shiny glass bead of functionality”.
    And that is not OK. Not at all! It is deceitful, sneaky and crooked. It is definitively evil.

    But they are of course far from the exception. Because you so rarely see a company not act like that, that it catches your eye. Or even a politician. Even though it should get the guy trying to trick you, into jail.

    As I always say: “Marketing“ has gone from informing people about your cool new products, to being the word for professional lying and deception.

    I think we should have an overlay over every page (trough a browser extension) and advertisement out there (trough augmented reality), that allows people, to show the contrast to reality, and make them feel the pain for their lies!

    That’s not what’s important. What’s important, is that “k” stands for the prefix “kilo”. and 8 kilo can only make sense in countries that colloquially use it for “kilogram”.

    And it’s so incredibly easy to solve that problem: Just run the JVM all the time, with one JVM running for all the Java processes.

    Although I have 3 Java apps that use daily and really like. I won’t not use them, just because they are Java apps.
