       @karenvkelly @kingsley ‘No taxation without representation’… It seems like thinking in ‘us vs them’ has gone totally off the rails here. If she is no longer able to recognise people as entitled to different opinions, what does she represent?

       @Laust @donhawkins @DTJackson Yes, but to people not familiar with Dutch infrastructure: a lot of roads have separate bike paths. A lot of neighbourhoods are designed in such a way that bikes can use direct routes but cars have to make detours. On top of that: almost every driver also rides a bike, so drivers are generally well aware how a cyclist experiences traffic.

       @stefano @gerrymcgovern Hear, hear! The corporate habit of communicating by sending around huge PowerPoint files containing a few lines of text should be associated with a cost. Just charge a small fee per MB and see how quickly people can change behaviour.

       @stefano @gerrymcgovern I feel your pain. The other technical thing I can imagine is to apply tar pitting based on total message size. < 1 KB immediate delivery, < 100 KB 10 minutes delay, everything else 1 hour delay. The problem with computers is that people do not see how much is going on when you click send. The same applies to modern webdesign: the amount of data exchanged to load a single page can be mind boggling.

       @gerrymcgovern @EVduckR @stefano Exactly. The day/information ratio has decreased enormously over the years. The trend to package tutorials as videos is another example. I totally get why this is done: it can be created easily and given enough views there is the possibility of making money.But the costs are pushed to the end user who has to pay for an obscene amount of infrastructure to access basic information.

       @tomjennings The unstoppable trend towards video also annoys me. Trying to find a few lines of text, but get pointed to a bunch of YouTube videos….
