You're missing the variations where you have stop lights to go into the roundabout or the even worse variant, roundabouts that are large enough to have 3-4 zones of stoplights inside of the roundabout itself! I'll take a roundabou

Yeah, not sure why not at least being upfront about the possibility is so hard. In Spain we've had train derailments, flocks of people being directed on social media to force themselves across borders, subterfuge deluxe everywhere and

I see people taking cars for distances that would take 10-15 minutes to walk. If we're hunting to cut down on inefficiencies, there is a lot of stuff we could attack before a robot arm becomes impactful enough to care about.

You can't really take HN commentators (mine included probably) as some general sentiment from the average person out in the world. It's a relatively biased (in its own ways) place, don't read too much into it if you're m
