It was a sad day when Opera dropped presto.

I prefer gestures. But if you like buttons just go to settings and turn them on.

Isn't the old joke that the average speed of traffic London has been about 15mph since the 1800's. (ie you're not going any faster now than when horses were the main means of transport)

Part of it is co2. Cars are more efficient at 60 than 70

  1. The increased journey time is to encourage people to find alternatives. It needs to be alongside improving public transport. If it it currently takes 6 by train from London to Edinburgh but 7 by car, you're more tempted to drive than if the train to 4 hours and car took 10 hours.

  2. less cars in the roads reduce their wear. Plus dedicated cycle paths narrowing them also do this. I also don't think I even raised this as a point.

  3. yes. You attack from both sides. But this is meant to be a controversial opinion so I just talked about the stick part of a carrot and stick approach.

  4. yes. That's the point.

To your edit, because land is too expensive in a lot of places to have dedicated parking

  1. reduces in city pollution.
  2. reduces road deaths. https://youtu.be/HeUX6LABCEA (this is 40 to 30, we extend that to 20 and she's probably not even going to be hit)
  3. reduces overall carbon pollution
  4. if done alongside improving public transport, walkability and cycle paths it encourages more people to use alternative transport than cars.

All roads in the UK that are currently 30mph limits should be lowered to 20mph, and those at 40 lowered to 30. There should be a systematic review of those at 50 whether they should be 40. National speed limit should be lowered by 10mph.

Go largest to smallest or smallest to largest. Not medium, small, large.

To transfer 1tb of data from London to Edinburgh at 100mbit/s it would take around 22 hours.

To put a 1tb SSD in a rucksack and get the train to Edinburgh drop it off and come back would take about 9 hours.
