Yeah, but those sites don't have people enter in their login/password until after they've been forwarded to an `amazon.com` or `paypal.com` domain. Try it. This is encouraging users to engage in fundamentally unsafe behavio

Huh. I'm confused, what's to stop someone from copying the "Paypal" button and associated modal, but simply directing the form to themselves to absorb the Paypal credentials? I suppose anyone could do this to take advan

Useless for figuring out how absolutely safe an intersection is by specific mode of transit at a specific point in time, sure. There are other uses though, you just have to make sure to take into account the unknown denominator. That'

by talos 13y ago
Yep, without the denominator of how many people were using a specific mode, you can't really determine some kind of safety ratio. In some ways, the map functions as that denominator. That's still pretty interesting. Also, it&#x2
