ParticipantFortunately, the US generally lacks respect for life when guns and cars are involved — they’re emotional, not rational issues. If gun control is any guide, it will fortunately be a slow painful process. The lives lost in obstruction of progress are worth the slowing of the degradation of privacy — life in an absolutely safe, controlled society isn’t worth living.

ParticipantElectric cars are great.
Autonomous cars phoning home, spying on people, recording, logging, data-mining, slicing, and dicing their trips are a fucking awful idea.As far as pedestrians — there need to be better means than “footbridges and elevators” to address the issue before lights and stops go away. Imagine how many crossing points, lights, stop signs there are in the US as a whole, then imagine the cost of bridging each one.

ParticipantJeez – I grew up in a complex that had first-come-first-served parking as long as you lived there. It worked fine. Why does everything need to be assigned, marked, and enforced 100%? I’d just park in his spot.

Participantabsolutely not. I empathise more with the riff raff than wealth creating techbros. frankly, NYC was better in the early 90s pre Rudy.

ParticipantThe network isn’t for you and me. It’s for “them” to deploy more sensors, cameras, connected cars, and other forms of intrusion into the environment, cheaply.

ParticipantDepends how irrational the markets are willing to get 🙂

ParticipantThey weren’t expected to hike in January, but 3-4 hikes vs two this year will be nice. 5%, here we come. Watch out, HELOC-holders!!!
