My biggest complaint is that the ending of season 1 really just came across as disrespectful to viewers, particularly in light of how long it was between seasons.

Maybe this coloured my opinion of it, but I watched them back-to-back. I didn’t experience that feeling of being disrespected by the wait. I just heard it was good, and watched what was available.

For the first season I felt like it was a really interesting concept, and I was excited to see how it developed. The second season just seemed like it’d lost its way to me, and they were drawing it out.

Meh. The first season was good, but I feel like it pretty much could’ve ended there. The second one felt kind of drawn out and dull to me.

TBF you do have to be pretty fucking brave to live there.

Calm down. They never said anything about the two things happening on the same device.

I get what you’re saying — so it’s about the subconscious awareness of the state change that happens after the driver decided to go, but before the car starts moving. I can see some amount of value in that.

I still can’t help but think it’s going to be interpreted by many as a sign that it’s safe to proceed and ignore the car rather than be prepared for any eventuality, though.

But isn’t that exactly the situation we’re in now? If there’s a car in the opposing left turn lane, they might start to turn in front of you.

The only thing the light does is say “right now, they’re braking”. It doesn’t say whether they’re moving or stationary any more than the headlights, and it doesn’t say anything about their intentions or whether it’s safe to enter the intersection.

Yeah, the only thing I could think of is that I’m driving down a country road, and I see the front brake light ahead of me because someone stopped for a deer in the road or something.

Otherwise I cannot fathom what benefit it brings. Anything that ultimately becomes “if you see this light, it’s safe to [X] in front of this vehicle” is going to get people killed.

And the negative state of “the lack of this light means that the vehicle could be moving” is exactly what we have now.

I don’t understand this at all. Why do I, as a person in front of a vehicle, care whether or not it’s braking?

Thanks for the explanation. Ironically this was the bit I didn’t know:

In modern times, USB keyboards are periodically actively polled instead.

I was thinking the implication was that some computer had faulty interrupt handling that would smash the status register or something.

Honestly I think I’m just too old to understand memes.

I feel like I should understand this, but I don’t.
