I think this could be an interesting idea for news sites especially. It would be less addictive and I could use a specific time of a day to spend on news platform instead of checking it ever so often.
I already use HN with a point limit of 250 so it doesn't update so often. What would be the easiest way to implement Pony messenger philosophy into it and only see a front page that updates once a day?
I know that this sounds a lot like an ancient technology called a newspaper :)
As a person outside of US, I find this interesting. In Finland, the duration of a yellow light is defined in Finnish directive for traffic lights. For speed limits of 40-50 (km per h) duration is three seconds and for 60 kmph it is four seconds and over that it must be 5 seconds.
So the three second time is a norm here in a city area. I wonder how much that affects the statistics of traffic safety. Can someone explain me, why a shorter duration of yellow light causes more accidents?
In Finland I think it is not illegal to drive pass red light if it is not safe to stop before them, so when you see the yellow light you must consider if it is possible stop the vehicle safely.
