When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

I never download any app without checking what permissions it request. It is not just about information they are asking, it is about making it compulsory for everyone. When you join any service it is by choice and not by force. If government is good at using that information we would not have road congestion and ailing health system and high cost of living. It pains me that they want to collect all the information and then can share it with anyone they like and you have no say in it.

I am more than happy to have a big long discussion about road congestion. It's one of my favourite topics.
It has not a lot to do with the governement. It's about everyone else having the "it's just me" attitude.
I think when everyone gets their licence they need to
1. Prove they can drive a car safely
2. Prove they can play a Galaga up to level 20 (to model the craziness of cars coming at you)
3. Demonstrate they can change a flat tyre, top of the oil and washer fluid, and can jump-start a car without blowing the computer
4. Do a course on shock-wave theory[^]

Thank God, Mr Maunder. 
I panicked for a moment as I couldn't see the closing tag for "slight rant mode". Doesn't help with the OCD, you see.

The complete illogic of this astounds me, particularly the $1800 fine for providing incorrect information.
So, you want to update your census information, so you send forms to all your citizens. Okay, so you're admitting that you don't know what the correct information actually is. So how the elephanting elephant can you fine someone $1800 for providing incorrect information after implicitly admitting to not having the correct information!?
Am I missing something, or is the Australian government really that stupid?

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

That is amazing -- not just the use of the tech, but the imagination for how to use the tech.

My son and I saw this at the STEM Conference in DC[^]. If you get the chance to visit, go there. It's every two years. I'm told there's one in California on alternate years, but I can't find it.

Haven't you heard of dads who buy expensive toys (remote controlled planes, etc.) "for their kids" only so they can play with them?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I didn't say it is not cool! I just would keep it to myself after that much effort - the kid can go with a plastic truck just as well...
