My dad is getting transferred to Mangalore. Is it a good place and are the people good over there?
You will be able to answer that question yourself once you have lived there for sometime based on your own experiences. People like me who are from Mangalore would definitely vouch for it. Whether a place is good for you or not depends on what you are looking for in that place. As many people have already mentioned Mangalore is a happening place in general. Weather is very harsh (read humid) If you can survive the weather here, you would have won half the battle. Cost of living is manageable. People are helpful and good if you are being good to them. You can expect an occasional altercation with auto rickshaw drivers. Apart from that you should be good. Try fish fry at Girimanja’s and ice cream at Pabbas. If you ever feel low, go to Tannirbhavi beach. Your life will be sorted. And yes as someone replied, Mangalore has some of the most beautiful AND intelligent girls. That’s a rare combination, you see.Cheers!

How will self driving cars handle moral issues?
I think the solution to this kind of problem will turn out to be ignoring them.Residential neighborhoods will have a 20MPH speed limit. City streets will have a 30MPH speed limit (which they almost universally do now). Highways will have speed limits based on conditions - most limited access highways will have higher limits than they do now.Autonomous cars will obey the speed limits. Always, and without fail.Pedestrians who jaywalk will be responsible for their own outcomes. They should be now, but they generally aren’t. That will change when there actually isn’t anyone else to blame because we know the car that hit them was operating within the law.Bicyclists who think traffic laws don’t apply to them will die, until we reach a point where the remaining bicyclists all know better.20MPH is slow enough to stop in time under all but the most extreme circumstances. Kids will be safe to chase balls into the street.
Why do Indonesians love Bumpy Road?
Fun fact, I happen to live in a strategic neighborhood street where drivers would abuse it as a shortcut instead of following the main road.But what really grinds my gears is that it would only save them 15 seconds by taking the detour on my street. BUT that did not stop some geniuses to figure if they went Formula 1 and accelerate 60km/h down the narrow street, they would score another 5 extra seconds.Wait, it doesn’t end there, there happens to be a primary school at the end of the street and a 3 way junction, which is a magnet to minor accidents from cars, motorbikes and pedestrians.As a result, my grumpy dad, spends a good chunk of his day complaining at the cars throttling right outside of our house, pursuing to save those valuable 20 seconds of their life while ignoring the safety of local pedestrians nor taking considerations to the well being of the neighborhood.So my dad got his hands dirty and took matters into his own hand. He built the great “bumpy road” in our street, off his own expenses, and to be exact, 4 of them.10 years on, our street is free of noise pollution and those bumpy road had probably saved countless of traffic accidents from ever occurring.In Indonesia, independently built bumpy roads are loved because it fixes traffic issues instead of expecting irrational people to follow basic law or having the need to trigger some degree of common sense or ethics into those minds.People aren’t going to wait for the government to sort those problems. It would take months for the government to plan and execute this matter, while a household can do it overnight.
