I think our algorithms have sucked, but it hasn't mattered much until recently.
Now we are able to make vast amounts of data available easily, so it matters a lot more.

Processing power still has a long way to go, but figuring out HOW to make use of the data is currently more important than the speed at which we can do it.

you insensative clod! (21/12/2012)

one of those rare comments that deserves more than +5

Must be over-due for a good conspiracy theory

Just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean they aren't out to get you

including the use of weapons? (Next logical step)

I've travelled through areas where the number of signs causes real information-overload.
Many are highly reflective, reducing visibility at night. Most street-lights I've see could use much better covers/reflectors too, to reduce the amount of light going directly into the drivers eyes.

More than all that though, if you pull most of the signs people will have to think about what they are doing. Scary when you're not used to it, but it makes sense that drivers who are thinking about what they are doing will do it better.

Start holding people accountable for their actions & pretty soon everyone will be paying attention to how they drive. Another good step toward achieving that would be to stop calling crashes 'accidents'. There are true accidents out there, but most crashes are the result of inattention or plain bad driving.

There's been no change to the opression, just the method.

Still - maybe 'Anonymous' can do something useful for a change?
