Someone (i forget who) wrote that if someone invented a technology equally beneficial and equally harmful it wouldnt even be considered today but 100 years ago they wouldnt even question it. It was labor as usual.
Personally i would like to see a more granual permission to drive based on performance, need and demography.
I keep thinking of reeducation camps. For some reason the "safety" concept snaps right on. If one is to argue the result beneficial or desirable seems to change nothing to the concept.
If you are going to prevent some-things we "know" are bad and your method is "known" to belong on that list the best you can hope for is a pyrrhic victory.
If we anticipate the worse case scenario on both ends the conclusion must be that we are terrible at such predictions.
But hey, if we let money guide us at least some will be happy with the result.
We do it like that with everything. If you consider yourself an artist it is quite simple to say you cant put your name on it if anything changes. You can also explain what you just wrote: Youve hired me, trust me to do it and focus on your tasks. Or: we will be different from otters but in a limited number of ways and your suggestions dont offer enough roi to make the cut.
I once had a project for novice freelancers. The idea was to take your abandoned fumble and put multiple people on it at 3rd world rates. There are lots of people in cheap coutries who can somewhat code. You can aford hiring someone for [say] 3 euro per day. If they describe where they got stuck in the daily progres report you can look at it and help a bit or not and Just let them figure it out.
You can pay more of course, buy them a computer, an internet connecties, books, courses, even an office but it isnt required.
Just pay 60 per project every 4 weeks and ignore it. If interesting progress happens its fun to look at.
It was facinating to see airlines continue to fly into ebola zones eventho they barely had passengers.
Even if all seats are full they dont make earth shaking profit that cant be avoided. The economy doesnt require doing it. The risk benefit ratio is off the chart.
People making such decisions should really be behind bars? I cant think of a better way to kill. Just send some plague ships and it will make short work.
Slots at airports like London Heathrow are hotly contested commodities with price tags in the millions and come with "use it or lose it" rules attached. If you stop flying a route temporarily, you may lose it permanently.
That is like the pilot losing his job if he doesn't follow orders. We can put the entire chain of command in prison. Including those who punish them for periodically not flying there.
you can't put someone in prison unless you have a relevant law, the law should be amended so that in such cases the flights should be canceled without damaging the airline.
Reading aggergated news is somewhat of an art. I add and remove feeds and do keyword filterin then i scan over the 5000 newest headines and find 1 to 4 things that are really great finds (to me).
Maybe if you do that for 1000 days some automation can find a pattern in it? I doubt it. Filtering out garbage hundreds of items at a time is definetly doable.
I kmow all of the css/js hacks and tricks but the information i need is the screen size in real mm.
Currently i put up a visibility:hidden position:absolute left:-9000px div with nobr, put the first line of text in it, then get the width of it with computed style, calculate the root font size to make it the line exactly the screen width. Then the div is removed and the rest of the content is allowed on the page.
Personally i would like to see a more granual permission to drive based on performance, need and demography.
