Surprisingly the ticket has no upvotes. (Well, had. I left one.)

Checking Wikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedestrian_crossing#Safety
The safety of unsignalled pedestrian or zebra crossings is somewhat contested in traffic engineering circles.
Research undertaken in New Zealand showed that a zebra crossing without other safety features on average increases pedestrian crashes by 28% compared to a location without crossings. However, if combined with (placed on top of) a speed table, zebra crossings were found to reduce pedestrian crashes by 80%.
A five-year U.S. study of 1,000 marked crosswalks and 1,000 unmarked comparison sites found that on most roads, the difference in safety performance of marked and unmarked crossings is not statistically significant, unless additional safety features are used. […] This study only included locations where vehicle traffic was not controlled by a signal or stop sign.
Traffic accidents are reduced when intersections are daylighted, i.e. visibility increased such as by removing adjacent parked cars.
And what specifically did he laugh about? The price being so low? The act of selling low prices? Did they make a joke about consequences?
This post is more [mildly] infuriating than what it describes.
From the awful image quality to the three-part-stitched image to the specific claim without no source context or description - this feels like ragebait which may be misinformation or misrepresented or who knows what.
I’m sure you have something different in mind than me when you say JavaScript is way easier to maintain.
There’s no clear border-line that would trigger nuclear escalation. It’s kind of meaningless.
We saw many proxy wars between the US and UDSSR. We recently saw how putin used nuclear threats as a tool rather than genuine or with anything happening after.
We saw a long stretch of peace in Europe after WW2 - especially when compared to before. This is due to positive relations, strong democratic systems, and economic development.
More mobility and communication technology allowed for people and states to become closer. Efforts to connect and establish systems with mutual gain. Ultimately establishing the European Union, Shengen Raum, Euro currency. Supporting social and cultural exchange and connection.
Strong social systems like constitutions, parliaments, separate judicative and executive, market regulation, anti-corruption agencies. Establishing a social economy with strong worker rights and gains (which have been eroding more recently).
The European Recovery Program (Marshall Plan) did a lot to initiate a strong western Europe economy. Economic success in combination with the aforementioned strong worker rights and representation meant gains and stability for the broad of society.
In other parts of the world we have seen many wars and proxy wars. During the cold war nuclear deterrents could well be argued to be the reason for investment in proxy wars, making them better funded resulting in more casualties or tragedies or extending them.
The nuclear deterrent may be a thing between nations with nuclear arsenal. It certainly didn’t prevent nations with nuclear arsenal from initiating wars. We have seen it most recently with Russia and Israel.
Would we see less wars if every nation had nuclear deterrents? How much would it increase risk of mishandling or accidents? How come we still wars but (mostly) no longer use chemical weapons and nerve agents?
Nuclear may be another case of capability so outrageous, so inhumane, that even countries in war evade them and wave war within it’s context, probing how far they can go without them and implementing war and conflicts despite them.
Does it need that much pay for someone to take the fall?
I feel like, of that’s the primary or sole motivator to pay so much, you could get someone “to take the fall in such rare cases” for much less.
I’d certainly be willing to for 2 mil. I don’t need millions for years and then a multi-million severance package.
Whispers are you from Earth too?

I don’t think I’ve seen enough CEOs take responsibility.

Minimal restrictions? I think it needs to be contextualized. And it depends on what your goals are.
Implicit restrictions may work very well, as social contracts and dynamics, until they don’t. Like shame making us normalize and assimilate into a social group. This may not work of different kinds of personalities or personality disorders, and/or in bigger and more anonymized societies.
For a good, stable, society you need a strong justice system separate from individuals, and people to have confidence in it and its justice. It can serve as a mediator and interpreter of restrictions, and weigh the different interests, for example of individuals vs public interest.
A right to privacy is very important to not give attack vectors to malicious intents, but it must end when it becomes a danger to others.
Any form of hatespeech, disinformation, manipulation, lying to ruin or damage others, physically or mentally, stalking must be restricted.
At the same time, the restrictions must not apply unquestioned to things in the interest of the public, of society, and of justice.
Personally, I like the German system of unreasonable insulting not being allowed more than a US free speech including unreasonable insults. But that’s something that may not be “minimal” even if it means causing some damage to some people, and excluding some from participating in some or all of society due to immediate or indirect effects.
I don’t think you can draw a hard, specific line that can stand statically and unquestioned.
Even when it was not addressed to me, I appreciate your thoughtful response. I like to see and read these kinds of thoughtful and supportive comments.
Sounds rough. Best wishes
What’s your favorite things that you’ve gotten good at? [in those alternatives]
I see you’re very good at knowing
So you’re good at touching the back of your neck?
Tech/Software/Development. Apparently exceptional, or very good, I don’t know.
Broad and deep knowledge, strong systematic thinking, experience, good intuition, seeking to improve my tools, docs, workflows, mindful and proactive of how we work together, and in including others…
I don’t know if work as an escape is a good or bad thing. At least I got that going for me.
I can’t even imagine not typing blind, without looking at keys.
Fun fact: My left hand is not 10-finger-syste-positioned but WASD gamer-system positioned. Works fine anyway for blind and fast typing.
QWERTZ. Cherry Keyboard, mechanical keys, full with numpad.
I did look into alternative layouts like DVORAK a long time ago, but it didn’t seem worth the investment of relearning. Current works good enough. (Even as a coder where parens and braces are more cumbersome than EN layouts.)
