oh, neat!

i didn't know that!

*Catholiban ;)

hic sunt dracones; here be dragons

leones means lions ;)

tankies are left in exactly the same way North Korea is democratic

it's almost like we can't program something we don't understand in the first place or something...weird how that works! ;)

or, you know, host it somewhere with existing fucking infrastructure???

it's not like brazil doesn't have any conference centres anywhere else...

the ancient greeks are so fucking jealous right now...

Ate without table -3

to save some folks a click:

the phenomenon is called the "halo effect", and the opposite is also the case and called the "horns effect" (ugly people/things getting more negative judgement based on appearance).

there's a LOT of research into these effects (for obvious reasons)...

important to note about the "not adding Fluoride" bit: many countries have to remove fluoride from drinking water because there's too much of it...

wow, no.

none of what you said is actually true.

• "gridlock" happens in non-grid layouts too, the english name is just taken from american road patterns.
• "show me..." no. YOU made a claim (that local information suffices, which is a VERY bold claim), so it's on you to prove that local information suffices.
• roads are absolutely NOT "like wires"; they are like pipes. which is why civil engineers commonly use fluid dynamics to simulate traffic.
• the rest of what you said is irrelevant to everything else.

seriously, if you make a claim contradicting both the very premise of the post, and common knowledge on the topic, then at least provide a source for that claim, lr explain WHY you think your claim is true.

"all the information is there" is not enough information to verify the claim; it's a wild guess without evidence to back it up.

if shit where THAT simple, we'd have it figured out 50 years ago... it's almost like this isn't the simple problem you desperately want it to be...

this completely ignores larger traffic patterns like arterial roads.

with your idea you are guaranteed to get massive gridlock all along the major roads.

and biochemical assembly of proteins has just about nothing to do with either shop-floor-planning or traffic regulation.

what you are suggesting IS better than simple timers!

but it is NOT better than central coordination.

you are seriously underestimating the complexity of the problem, and your "all you need to do..." bs only shows how little you understand of the underlying issues.

do you really think nobody else has thought of what you're proposing?

of course people have thought of this approach. it doesn't work.
