I wonder if democracy is some kind of corporate speech homonym of some totally different concept I'm familiar with. Perhaps it's even an interesting linguistic case where a word is a homonym of its antonym? Edit: also apparently k

There are plenty of students studying out of interest. It's very common to e.g. study excess courses. Many doing their theses can work very independently and go way beyond what's required. Highly self-driven students are a minorit

I'm teaching faculty at a university and, at least where it comes to lecture courses, I don't find this a bubble. There are definitely plenty of students who would do just fine, if not even better, without the external discipline

You could do it without any surveillance. Just have a feature in the car where the ECU will limit the speed when e.g. programmed via the CAN-bus. Such speed limits are quite common. E.g. mopeds in Finland have been (mechanically) speed limi

That depends on the case and for what purpose the names are published. But I'd say usually there will be no legal ramifications. What is the purpose for publishing the named?
