  • Italy has one of the highest number of accidents per capita in the EU. I wish they would force Italy to change their rules.

    For example, speed limits are all over the place, because local councils don’t want to have responsibility for accidents, so they put unreasonable speed limits just to move the responsibility on the drivers in case of an accident. And those limits change every km or so.

    On the other hand, Italy forbids hidden speed traps. In my opinion, all speed traps should be hidden, otherwise people will only follow the rules when there’s a big sign that says “speed limit check”.

    Also, we live in the era of AI. Is it so difficult to put cameras that detect illegal behavior automatically? (E.g. drivers not giving the way to pedestrians, etc.)











  • I don’t agree.

    I started using the web as a curious 8 years old. I was pretending to be an adult in order to sign up to forums, chat with people, etc.

    Yes, I was exposed to porn, gore (remember goatse?) but that didn’t make me dumb or a molester.

    But nothing beats what I learned thanks to the internet. Endless days spent on programming forums, reading articles on a newborn Wikipedia, etc.

    Even just talking with older people than me made me learn how to deal with things and life.

    I don’t think that the internet for a kid is bad per se. I wouldn’t like a blanket ban for kids like the UK. If it was like that when I was a kid, I would probably be a more stupid person.

    I think that the real bad thing is the stupid phones and apps that give you dopamine rushes.
