@publixpace @rebeccawatson Sounds perfectly sensible if you can guarantee the incentives will align. Otherwise the local tourism board might decide that having no reported accidents makes for a better holiday destination, or something of that nature. Sounds like the Germans are giving it a good go.

@publixpace @rebeccawatson That's clever, but doesn't mean speed limits are useless, otherwise they'd never switch.

@publixpace @rebeccawatson Well, it might be factually true, sorry.

@publixpace @rebeccawatson This is factually untrue and wouldn't mean much anyway. Some of the lowest road accident rates are found in countries which not only have conservative speeding limits but also harsh penalties for speeding - in Norway going 30 km/h over the speed limit can cost you the equivalent of $1500.

@joacim @onemuri @gertvdijk You don't seem silenced.

@lcamtuf You assume that the non-silly articles you put effort into are objectively better. But things just have different audiences, and some of those audiences are smaller than others. "The neo-Marxist agenda wants to destroy capitalism that has built all you see around you" and "we need to move towards a more equitable economic system that will let us avoid the sad outcomes of what capitalism has brought upon us" are essentially the same information, but very different audiences.

@grmpyprogrammer @preinheimer Before internet there were pretty much no reviews, or you had to collect review magazines :) And reviews in those were not that reliable either.

I think we can figure it out, product identity, personal identity, federated trustworthiness maybe.

@fox Car recalls are also pretty good.

@freemo @black6 @scott_guertin @georgetakei To be honest I've never heard of overtime pay for hourly employees. How does that work? Where does the overtime start? It's just more hours.

@RickiTarr We do allow religious people in our buildings as well.

@lcamtuf I think that's what smart glasses do.

@freemo @black6 @scott_guertin @georgetakei 23*8, not 30*8.

@freemo @black6 @scott_guertin @georgetakei At my company you calculate your hourly wage from salary divided by 30*8 then multiply it by 1.5 to get the overtime pay rate. Many companies expect people to work for free, like you've said, but they're not good companies.

@lcamtuf Think of it this way: many of those people who's debt is being traded would like to pay it off, but aren't allowed to pay off 1 cent on the dollar. This way they've paid it off (via taxes) at market rate.

@lcamtuf I think they're buying it at a rate collection the agencies buy it at. It's going to help people. And $20 million is not that much, all things considered.

@freemo @scott_guertin @georgetakei No, they are not. That's why we have something called "overtime pay". Because work in excess of agreed hours is something that is compensated separately.
