> it will just cause the cyclists to remove themselves from traffic after which there is even less of a reason to do something about it Please re-read this. How are you not advocating for people (including children) to sacrifice their lives so that we can get attention to the issue? And no, I'm not going to stop bringing this up. I'm right and it's not even close.

At what point will you stop optimizing for the number of dead children? Why not keep them in a padded room with some electrical impulses to stimulate their muscles as needed, while feeding them a perfect blend of nutrients for exact caloric intake. Edit: lol this doesn't even break the site rules... it's a legitimate question. Fuck you dang.

Could you please stop perpetuating this flamewar? I'm sure you started it unintentionally, but this is not what HN is for and destroys what it is for—regardless of how right you are or feel you are. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
