Yes! This is exactly the point - machinistic enforcement makes no sense in case of speed limits. All laws about driving explicitly say that at the end of the day it's the driver's responsibility to drive safely and if they cause a

Would you have remembered to write this comment if the fields had never been added back? In the case you describe, there are three possible outcomes, in broad categories: 1) The fields do turn out to be useful, in exactly the way you implem

Fair. It's just interesting to me that lower in the thread with less votes there are actually insightful comments that have real content and the most upvoted comment is the one that says "this sucks because I can't afford it&

How does this comment contribute to the discussion? The guy is happy about his watch and goes into great detail explaining how it works and how it's made and why. Why comment in such a negative way? I can't afford a 20k watch eith

Good article content, but wow the article looks great! Really incredible! If by any chance someone knows the tools that were used to make the big-font subtitles (or the whole page?), enlightenment would be highly appreciated!

Thank you for this explanation. This is really interesting. I'm not deaf, so this is very difficult for me to understand, but that doesn't mean it's not important. I'm trying to find something to compare to, but not sure

This is certainly true, but I don't understand what you are trying to say in the context of this thread?

I'm certainly not part of the elite even in the current deathful world :) And yes, of course there will be issues, difficult ones. But life is, was and will always be filled with difficulty, obstacles, struggles and failures. Mine cert

Yes, it is a bit selfish. But it is also okay to be a bit selfish from time to time. After all, it is your life. Of course, this needs to be carefully balanced. But doing things every now and then just because you want to, is okay. However

Wow these comments are depressing here. Of course I want to live as long as possible! Because life is awesome! I want more of it! The fear of death is of course real, but that's not the main reason for wanting to live longer. I want mo

True, there was extensive effort, but wasn't the effort geared towards providing the deceased god a path back to the heavens or wherever they had come from? So, presumably after they had ascended with the help of the burial provisions,

Why does that make the earth special? Is the single one in a million dimensional one-hot vector special? Why? If only intelligent life can have this conversation then it will always be "but why us?!?!" well, it was random. Just th

Interesting - as I'm in the middle of one of the red blobs on the map and just used my phone with google maps to drive around. It worked fine. All the local services that rely on positioning via phones seemed to work fine as well. I wo
