I would take a team of moderately-skilled, emotionally intelligent people over a team of expert jerks who like the smell of their own farts.

I wouldn’t want to work with a low-skilled team of anyone.

She talks to the customers so the engineers don’t have to.

She has people skills. She is good at dealing with people.

I also vaguely remember the quote you’re referencing and I think you got the gist of it.

The best programmers, sysadmins, and other techies I’ve worked with had humanities degrees. Being a STEMlord who can’t be nice or express yourself well in words will put you at a disadvantage in even the nerdiest of jobs.

Great job, humans. You’ve ruined Iceland.

He’s definitely an expert, I just thought it was funny they redacted his name like we wouldn’t know who he was.

Scott Manley has a one hour video going over all of this, including the ridiculous redaction of James Cameron providing expert testimony by first saying he directed The Abyss

Which is also a vector. Speed is a scalar.

If you can find an electorate who’d be okay with this you might have a point.

Those cameras would come down in like a month, what few a local government could afford to put up, anyway.

They could do this easily on major highways and yet they haven’t yet, precisely because the local government knows it would be electoral suicide.

A better solution would be pace cars that drive the speed limit with big gates so nobody can go around them. Then people literally can’t speed.

Of course I wear my seatbelt because other people are shit drivers. Even at 35 mph I could be seriously injured if someone crosses the center line.

Because of the acceleration, not the speed.

I’ve hit two deer but one literally jumped on top of my car from a hillside and the other I hit at like 15mph.

Then why haven’t they put speed cameras everywhere?

Because a local government wouldn’t last an election cycle if they did that.

If everyone is doing 250 they won’t hit each other. But if one person is doing 125 things get a lot less safe.

The rest of it is not what I’m talking about. I am aware that all of the rest is true, but is outside of what I’m describing.

Maybe we just eliminate all transportation that can exceed walking speed. You know, for safety.

One of them is known as “Bambi killer” because they hit so many deer.

A car doing 70 will not hit another car also doing 70.

Whether they hit something else is a different situation.

But a car doing 55 in traffic doing 70 is a -15mph roadblock that will either be hit by someone else or cause an accident as people change lanes to get around it.

Unless you’re able to stop everyone from speeding it’s going to be this way.

I know a few people who have been pulled over for driving the speed limit and making it unsafe by creating a rolling road block.

Most accidents on highways are the result of lane changes, and people not going with the flow of traffic increases lane changes.

Bad road design is an entirely different problem.

And I’ve got a question for you: it’s rush hour and everyone is doing 70 in a 55. How do you enforce this? Pull everyone over?

Yes but if everyone is doing 70 there won’t be impacts between the cars.

Speed is also not part of force. That’s acceleration times mass. Sudden stops and starts are deadly because of acceleration, not speed.

Obviously any road where people are doing 55 shouldn’t have pedestrians or cyclists.

It’s not speed that kills. It’s acceleration. Everyone doing 70 means nobody is an obstacle. But one person doing 55 in that situation is effectively a rolling road block. Even if they’re not hit by someone else they’ll cause accidents as people change lanes to get around them.

We’ll build a new internet with blackjack and hookers.

Just like it used to be.

I could probably make more money getting a job where I have to use Windows but honestly it wouldn’t be worth it.
