   Humans driving at the legal speed limit are dangerous by their nature. We arent perfect and dont see everything - the likelihood of an accident is simply a matter of probability. I don't think it is any stretch of reasoning to say that

   The reason that rape is not a comparable example is that the person committing the crime is doing so actively. Why do you think it is unreasonable of me to say that someone who puts themselves in a risky position is by definition partly to

   If someone tightrope-walked over Niagara and fell in I would certainly blame the victim. Those patches of asphalt wouldn't be there if they didn't provide an economic benefit. If we made a law tomorrow that all vehicles couldn&#x2

   Disagreement with a reasonable comment shouldn't be a valid reason for a downvote.

   Roads are dangerous by their nature and bicycles are unpredictable and unprotected modes of transport to use. It is entirely understandable that there will be a large amount of lethal accidents involving cyclists, particularly on roads whic

   Surely this is more to do with 'getting views' than anything else. To imply that there is a deeper motivation like ASMR etc might be taking it a little too far for the majority of cases. My guess would be it is just a very easy, n

   I'm not sure where the data is coming from but I'm not convinced Bangkok is worthy of 5/5 stars for safety at the moment.

   It is surprising how few of the projects have actually monetisable products not aimed at the developer niche.

    I don't see why the decision is so digital. Surely a 1 week hold coupled with the ability to move the video to YouTube (or simply the latter as an option at the end of a live stream) would take away the huge hosting costs but give cont

    I wonder how rested you would feel in a lucid dream versus a 'normal' one. You'd think accessing the decision making functions of the brain would give you a worse rest overall.

    I Wonder how many people are actually 'for' this. It seems those against it should far outweigh those in favour.

    A better Google is one you pay for and whose income and subsequently motivations align with the customer, not third parties. The idea of Google being a virtual personal assistant who knows everything about you but who you can trust to keep

    Because the address bar and other navigation options are all functions for inside a tab (changing the tab) so should be contained by it in the design.

    How does this work with cross-product passwords where the login can be used across multiple web apps?

    The worst situation is where the site prevents submission of a password containing certain characters or limits password length, ruining any carefully chosen or algorithmically generated passwords.

    I'm sure there are many more useful changes that could be made which would bring greater benefit to the community. Adding the 'initial scale' meta tag so that people can more easily use the site on their mobiles would be a gr

    If there was a good way for people to determine site visitor gender, I bet they would do that too. I realise that the data is a bit more complete when you are looking at movement on the street, so an officer taking the data would have more

    I think Google has such a strong consumer following now that it isn't as interested in keeping the developers happy. We were early adopters so got a good amount of attention at the start but that certainly seems to have waned with Goog
