dream_weasel,

Watched it, liked it, mostly agreed with it.

I myself come from a background in network security which maybe colors my thinking, but there is a sort of quirk/feature that nobody ever argues for less security, only more. Basically this means you are always at the intersection of usability and and security. It is, however, usually clear what “usability” means in a given context.

So the question that lingers in my mind is this: how do you find the sweet spot for roads? The video says, and I agree, that people putting their convenience above the safety of others is an asshole. But how do you avoid the reducto ad absurdum that is mentioned AND THEN TOSSED OUT WITHOUT COMMENT where further decreasing speed always increases safety by some margin?

Where is the Pareto optimal point and how do you find it? If everyone goes 5kph, one guy a year is going to die. Are we really just trying to find maximum throughput per person per unit space? Is it maximal throughout with minimal infrastructure? What is the actual problem (generally) to solve here? There’s discussion AROUND the topic (about 2/3 through the video) but it’s all special case. Would be easier if there was a theme besides “hey go slower asshole”.

dream_weasel,

Alternate ending: Find kid, wait until kid is at birthday party, kill 5 kids, take loot, 4c, 5 poison vials. Letter from father says “I left because you were a bad son”. Wasn’t birthday party after all was suicide pact. Other 4 kids were half siblings with the same letters. As you walk away stunned but feeling slightly better you find a chest of weapons nearby and a manifesto. It was a murder suicide pact and these kids were in their way to slaughter the local happy families. You are a hero. Everyone claps. You leave the 4c.

In the distance you see he man you “killed”. It was all a setup to get you and those damn kids to weaken each other. He rides up laughing and says “welcome home son”.

Trying to download/export, and convert 1000ish kindle books to get out of amzns ecosystem angielski

Does anyone have any experience with doing this? It’s not for myself, but for someone who isn’t tech inclined. I want to set him up with FOSS to avoid future shitification by azn. I know I need to strip drm, and then convert out of amz formats, but really have no idea how to do this. Any help would be appreciated! -j

dream_weasel,

Is there a good FOSS e-reader platform? I was considering moving from nook TO kindle, but now you’re giving me pause.
