Interesting: Helsinki records zero traffic deaths for full year

I don't manage a lot of infrastructure on the #Internet, but I manage quite a bit, and I am almost finished with #blocking the entire #UK over #OSA. I have no choice. The way the #law is written anyone who doesn't (and I don't believe in age-verification services as I find them a privacy mine field and nightmare) runs the #risk of an 18 million pound fine.
If you have a server on the Internet you are a fool for not blocking all UK #traffic.
Full stop.

The new science video from #Veritasium is wild and worth a watch.
It's about Braess’s Paradox, which I'd not heard of before, but it shows up in all sorts of places, including traffic planning.
The video includes a fantastic couple of examples of why car traffic times can sometimes go up when more roads are built. That's not the usual case of more people using the roads. Instead, with the same number of drivers, adding a road makes everyone's journey time slower.
This example might seem a bit contrived but the video also cites a study where the equivalent did happen when a busy street in New York City was closed off, and travel times for everyone paradoxically went down.
Physics and maths are wonderfully counterintuitive sometimes.
