Facebook is bad enough that it's literally just put child porn in recommended/popular videos and they did nothing about it when I reported it (not just to them, I felt that this was one of the rare times it was appropriate to report something to the FBI).

What's cool about reporting videos to Facebook is a minimum wage employee in a cubicle farm has to watch those videos and confirm they feature the offensive content. Those employees eventually develop PTSD and other serious mental illnesses.

PostNouveau: Sep 3, 2011; VY till I die; Grimey Drawer

Today I learned that the UK bought into some kind of bullshit "smart" motorway and they were like "Computers are magic, we don't need shoulders"

quote:

The government insists smart motorways are Britain�s safest major roads. So why do people keep dying?

Between 2015 and 2019, 39 people died on UK smart motorways where there is no hard shoulder or the hard shoulder can be converted to live traffic, according to figures from Highways England, the state-owned company that operates England�s motorways and A-roads. (In Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, roads are managed by separate bodies.) If you measure the number of deaths per mile of smart motorway, it has risen from one for every 43 miles of road in 2016, to one for every 17 miles in 2019. Many of those deaths have been in similar accidents to Mercer and Murgeanu�s � people hit by traffic while they were stranded in a live lane. The chair of the Police Federation, John Apter, has called smart motorways �death traps�. Sir Mike Penning, the Conservative former transport secretary who approved smart motorways, now says that he was �misled� and their rollout �should never have happened�. Labour has called for them to be abolished. In February, a coroner investigating the death of a woman from Sheffield on the M1 referred the case to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), to investigate whether, in removing the hard shoulder, Highways England might be guilty of corporate manslaughter.

Mercer now runs Smart Motorways Kill, a campaign to lobby the government to reinstate hard shoulders. For the last two years, she has become the loudest and most tenacious critic of smart motorways. �They�re killing people,� she says. We�re speaking over video call, the day after what would have been Jason�s 46th birthday. She marked the occasion by protesting outside Sheffield police headquarters. Since launching the campaign, she has been inundated with support from those who have been injured or lost loved ones on the new roads. �We�ve had people contact us anonymously. We�ve had control-room operators, we�ve had traffic officers, a lot of people, saying, �This needs to come out.��

we have smart motorways here in seattle that lower the speed limit when there's congestion so we don't crash into each other. Not clear why you'd call this british nonce sense "smart motorways" since they're totally different and insanely dumb.

as a Brit I can confirm this is as insane as it sounds. If you break down on some of the busiest stretches of motorway in the world your life is essentially in the hands of some bored goober on minimum wage staring at a bank of CCTV cameras and hopefully flicking a switch to mark the lane with an X before a gigantic HGV slams into you.

This also assumes the HGV driver
1) sees the sign
2) knows what the sign means
3) obeys it in time

Seems kinda pointless because a) nobody follows speed limits and b) cops don't enforce them
