http://www.spiegel.de/international/spiegel/controlled-chaos-european-cities-do-away-with-traffic-signs-a-448747.htmlEveryone who bashed this GIF with no second thought or research proved they are completely clueless in life. Removing all traffic laws and signs (except a few like 50 km/h speed limit in towns) made traffic more fluent, safer and faster on average. The Autobahns have significantly fewer accidents NORMALIZED for traffic volume than many other highways. This movement will most likely become more widespread. It goes with the Clarkson quote with spikes in the steering wheel and a few other ideas from behavioural economics: 1. People ignore >70% of traffic signs, and much more in the US where the sign spam is completely out of control. 2. People read recommendations as mandatory a. Lacking speed limits, most people drive at their comfort speed. Speed LIMITS are by definition above the comfort zone of most people; otherwise they are inefficiently low. With speed limits, people drive at speed limits or above (usually) even if that is no longer comfortable for them (i.e. how tired they are). b. When banks recommend a MAXIMUM of ~34% monthly income to go to house mortgage, the vast majority of people take that as default and end up over-extending. In short, if you take the signs away, people drive more carefully and organically, minding their surroundings. This is completely foreign to US drivers due to feelings of entitlement and "being in the right" no matter what the local traffic conditions are. That's also one of the main causes for how many accidents there are on the US highways (mostly, in merging and lane changing). In my home city, in my mostly lawless-driving EU country, people routinely drive at 100+ km/h during the night in cities, even if the speed limit is the classic 50. Almost all accidents happen when drivers were DUI, racing or irresponsible local-mafia brats. Y'all really need to get your head out of the "we need to control you or you would kill eachother" arsehole. I though "antifragile" was trending? yeay thx bud, thats the spirit

The above quote is a level 3 play, he is appealing to the rational risk taking in of the average trader, but in fact is planting a the seeds of greed, sell now to buy more later. Sell now so there is little support when the Chinese markets lose fiat liquidity
Hey, I am not recommending anything. Anyone can decide whether what I wrote makes sense or not. Do you mean that trolls are posters who force people to think? we will only find out later if Jorge is a septic or a cynic.
Argh, there goes my cover! I confess, I am "septic" -- I am trying to infect my compatriots with deadly skepticism.

It is not easy to adjust, I may never adjust, driving head on into oncoming tragic on the wrong side of the road to avoid the two loan idiots who stopped at the tragic light that scares the s#!t out of me, but it works, and I was impressed, my favorite tragic sign.

PS. Unless "septic" was intented to be the term for a polynomial of degree seven (after "quadratic", "cubic", "quartic", "quintic", and "sextic"). I have seen mathematicians use other bizarre terms like "septonic" or "septemic" in a vain attempt to avoid chuckles in the audience.

Most people will never understand macro impact, they think as far as self interest, but until one is enlightened to the fact that we are part of an ecosystem that is wholly dependent on all players ( plants micro organisms and animals) acting on self interest, you realize your success is dependent on success of the whole. Your input in the context of someone who is invested in Bitcoin has consequences, it implies the logical thing to do is acting on greed sell now to buy more later at the expense of those who will be forced to sell later, this input while valid is valuable to the ecosystem as a whole, but it does not serve the best interests of the whole, it serves to confirm the ramifications of your cynicism. A true researcher would look to draw a conclusion without creating influential feedback. So one can only conclude you are a researcher and researching something where your input is part of the experiment, you are diligently trying not to influence.

So I watched some videos of these 'shared space' intersections.
As expected,traffic slows to a crawl and that is in a tiny,barely used set of roads.
Lol@people thinking these are a serious replacement for city lights.

Yup. Not even sure about the intended meaning of "best interests of the whole."

Just means that the opening price was higher than the closing price, it has nothing to do with volume.
